Faced with a shot at hand, Chinese goalkeeper Zhu Yu once again showed a miraculous save, both hands will South Korea's killer outside the door. It was this save that made the Chinese team's final kill. In the 93rd minute, Wang Shanshan in the middle of the back of the ball back to send direct, Xiao Yuyi burst into the penalty area after a strong shot, the ball should be sound into the net, the Chinese women's soccer team 3-2 overtook the South Korean women's soccer team, to complete the extra time kill, can be described as a textbook reversal. Reviewing the entire Asian Cup qualifying journey, this final is not the only time the Chinese women's football team "Jedi resurrection". January 30, quarter-finals, the Chinese team in an unfavorable situation, 10 minutes after the Vietnam team took the lead, and then fought back, 3-1 reversal win, into the quarter-finals. The victory also ensured that China secured a place in next year's Women's World Cup. On February 3, in the semifinals, facing the top-ranked Japanese women's soccer team, the Chinese team in the case of Wang Frost's injury and suspension, twice behind and then twice equalized, fighting for 120 minutes, and finally in the penalty kicks, the goalkeeper Zhu Yu played brilliantly, pouncing on the Japanese team's two penalties, and the Chinese team knocked out the Japanese team with a total score of 6:5, successfully advancing to the finals. "Rainbow, rainbow, goodbye 'Clanging Roses'", not to lose, dare to fight, know unity, this is the women's soccer team to win the spiritual power. Along the way, several reversals, never give up. After eliminating Japan in the semifinals, Wang Frost wrote in her microblog, "You can always trust the Chinese women's soccer team!" Why can we believe in the Chinese women's soccer team? In a difficult situation, facing the strength of the opponent, the Chinese women's soccer team how to turn the tide against the wind, laughing to the end? Qin Liang said, "The characteristics of hard work, courage, steadfastness, discipline, and dare to sacrifice are displayed in their bodies to the fullest, so that the resounding rose blossomed again after 16 years of floundering." Rainbow, rainbow, goodbye "clanging rose". The new generation of women's soccer team's strength to defy the odds, dare to fight, and work together to form a rope is the same as their predecessors. Since 1986, Chinese women's soccer team has participated in 15 Asian Cups, the previous 14 sessions won 8 championships, 1986 to 1999 also created the Asian Cup "7 consecutive championships" record. 1999, China's women's soccer team won the World Cup runner-up history's best results. It was in that era that the Chinese women's soccer team won the resounding title of "Clanging Roses". There's no such thing as forever. China's women's soccer team has stumbled and bumbled its way through difficult times. Previously, the last time the girls won the Asian Cup was in 2006, and the last time they reached the final of the Asian Cup was 14 years ago in 2008. After the Tokyo Olympics fiasco last year, Shui Qingxia, a veteran women's soccer player who has weathered the storms and gained impressive results, took over the coaching reins and reorganized the team. In the face of the formation of the team time is not long, personnel integration is limited, the Women's Super League has just ended, some members of the team to play in foreign leagues to return to the team soon, and other objective factors, the new Chinese women's football team to regain the fighting spirit, and climb the peak again. "It's a new start for our women's soccer team, we were in a slump after the Olympics, but this Asian Cup shows the real strength, unity and spirit of our women's soccer team." Player Wang Shanshan said. Women's soccer championship is still the most critical factor is strength, flexible field command, players close collaboration, superb tactical level together to create the "rose blossom". "Power, the shape of the reason to fight also." Athletics can not be separated from the support of the spirit of power, but the most critical factor is still the strength of the cohesion around the strategic and tactical approach, synergy, combat power, athletes, coaches team and skills services to ensure that personnel work together to fight the results. In Qin Liang's opinion, the process of winning the championship is inseparable from the support of all parties, in the Football Association, coaches, players and other aspects of the efforts together, the real strength of this unit has been truly embodied, played a real level. From the tactical point of view, the semi-final against the powerful Japanese women's football, in the center of the player Wang Frost due to injury can not take the field, the women's football decisively change the formation of the main attacking player Wang Shanshan's position back, the tactical adjustments to take advantage of the situation is the coaching staff on the line to direct the art of the show, but also the women's football team in the training, rehearsals, competitions, teammates in the tacit understanding between the teammates. In the final against South Korea, in order to cope with the situation of the score is behind, the Chinese team before the game has the corresponding plan and technical and tactical reserves, the players on the field after the tactics are also well followed. "At halftime, I told the players first of all not to be discouraged, to put down the burden and let go of the fight." Shui Qingxia said. At the beginning of the second half, Shui Qingxia replaced Xiao Yuyi, Zhang Xin two players, in the defense of the ground was adjusted, the formation forward to open the full counterattack. Battle to the 60th minute, water Qingxia and decisive replacement of young Zhang Linyan. A series of tactical adjustments played an immediate effect. "Most of this group of players have experienced the baptism of the World Junior World Youth multiple World Cups, the Olympic Games, can be said to be the most rich in recent years the experience of the big game and reversal of experience, and frequent shutout opponents of the team." Qin Liang said that perhaps there was a little panic and lack of energy at the beginning, but in order to unanimously win the championship goal, under the encouragement of Shui Qingxia's guidance, and with the protection of all parties, the players are willing to put in more effort. "Deepen the reform according to the law of soccer development, expand participation in soccer population planning, within the line of steady and far-reaching roots to promote the overall progress of China's soccer level" Soccer has a wide social impact and is loved by the public. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, has put the revitalization of soccer on the agenda as an important mission to develop sports and build a strong sports country. "Strong security has enabled the players to focus on improving their skills and mentality and embodying great concentration on the field in the midst of various competitions and complexities, all of which are essential qualities of a good team." Qin Liang said. On February 27, 2015, the tenth meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform considered and passed the overall program of China's soccer reform and development strategy. China's soccer reform embarked on a new journey. Around the program's 50 task details, "special affairs, early and pilot", has become the new concept of reform to break the problem. In the past 7 years, all parties have concentrated on the implementation of the 50 requirements of the program, the government and society's attention and investment in soccer has increased significantly, the reform of the institutional mechanism of soccer has been steadily advancing, the number of children playing football has begun to increase, the name of the club is non-corporate, the salary limit and limit the investment of the deep-water reforms to break the ice forward ...... "Football revitalization and development, must need to consolidate the foundation, the foundation is first of all the soccer population." Industry insiders said that today's practical experience in the development of soccer at home and abroad shows that a strong popular foundation and a strong reserve force is one of the keys to improving the level of soccer skills. That is to say, a country's soccer population can determine the level of the country's national team soccer, because the soccer reserve force and the national team is a complete systematic project between them is a pyramid-type development model. "Women's soccer career can not be carried out without good youth training." Qin Liang said that the girls who play soccer are still relatively few, and it is necessary to do a good job of cultivating youth soccer, attracting more people to play soccer by increasing the importance of the Women's Super League, Women's First League and other leagues, so as to achieve successors and ensure the overall standard of the force. Not long ago, the General Office of the State General Administration of Sports issued a notice, decided that Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Changchun, Chongqing, Dalian, Qingdao and other nine cities for the "14th Five-Year Plan" during the first batch of the national soccer development focus on the city, in the view of professionals, this move may promote China's soccer cause to achieve new Development, and continue to attract more young people into the game of soccer. Although the women's soccer team has been a joyful success, but we must also soberly see that the revitalization and development of soccer, we must take the road in line with national conditions, in line with the law, to strengthen the foundation of soccer, professional leagues, but also to strengthen international exchanges, learning from successful experiences. China's soccer's great progress, must be established within the stable and far-reaching foundation, must be in accordance with the laws of soccer development, unswervingly deepen the reform, to explore the development of Chinese characteristics of the soccer way, to promote the overall progress of China's soccer level.
