Today, China's women's soccer coach Shui Qingxia in Fudan Lecture Theater, disclosed the Asian Cup behind the little-known chapter.
Talking about the selection criteria, Shui Qingxia directly said: "Fair and impartial selection of players, soccer is ultimately the strength of the first. On the field, we choose those players who have the heart of their country and the spirit of hard work. When evaluating the players, injuries, illnesses, characteristics, we have access to a lot of information. Expect the Chinese team can learn from the Japanese team's transmission and control techniques, and European teams, but the gap lies in the high-intensity repeated running and the speed of the conversion of offense and defense to improve."
She emphasizes the importance of counseling: "Counseling is a key part of the process. Players may not want to listen to you, but you have to treat them as if they were your own. If my daughter makes a mistake, how can I guide her? European players are passionate, while Asian players are afraid of being criticized because of their education. So I encourage them in training, and even if they make mistakes, I recognize them so that they don't get scared of the coach. Soccer is supposed to be fun, and I always remind my players to enjoy every day and train with a happy heart."
Talking about Wang Frost's injury, Shui Qingxia recalled: "After Wang Frost's injury, we had to adjust the lineup after only 10 minutes of practice. If she had recovered the next day, we would have won psychologically because the Japanese team was also afraid of Wang Frost. She was devastated by her injury and regretted not being able to play for her country. Later, even though she was on the field, the two coaches of the Japanese team kept a close eye on her because her name was not on the list. We blocked the news from the public for fear of being questioned by the media, and it wasn't until the live broadcast of the match that we made it public that Wang Frost would not be able to play due to her injury. We were worried that the Japanese team would find out about our situation, so we had to fight on the field as well."
