The attention she received after winning the title, Shui Qingxia appeared calm: "I think it's okay, people are paying attention and that's a good thing. But for me personally, I keep my mind normal."
Talking about the pressure after winning the championship, Shui Qingxia frankly said: "There is always uncertainty in the game of soccer, we may do well in future games, or may not meet expectations, there will be a variety of repercussions. But I hope fans and friends continue to support
women's soccer
, no team can be successful forever."
Looking back on the Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia believes that the biggest gain is the improvement of the players' self-confidence, as well as the mutual support and praise between the team: "The players are confident, we complement each other, encourage each other, and improve a lot through this competition."
Talking about the team's atmosphere, Shui Qingxia said, "They are spontaneous, and I have asked for it, because a team, including substitutes, can't be separated from everyone's efforts. We help each other, like a big family, and make up for each other. Since we are a team, we have to be united, and the players have done a good job in this regard."
Talking about the future plan, Shui Qingxia revealed, "After the isolation, the players will return to the club to prepare for the championship and the league in April. During this period I may go to watch matches and select young players to prepare for the East Asian Cup and Asian Games next year. I hope the young players will grow up quickly, but it may not be smooth sailing, after all, they have limited match experience. Players with potential, even if they don't necessarily make it to the Asian Games this year, are preparing for the next year. We will keep some of the older players and select the younger ones, a two-pronged approach." (DD)
