Prologue:
The dust has settled on the Indian Women's Asia Cup squad for the upcoming 2022 edition, with a total of 12 teams embarking on this soccer extravaganza. The hosts, India Women's Football Team, are at home, along with the previous champions Japan Women's Football Team, the runners-up Australia Women's Football Team and China Women's Football Team and other top teams in Asia, forming an exciting chapter of this soccer event.
The 2022 Women's Asian Cup in India will be fiercely contested from January 20 to February 6 next year, with the tournament being divided into three groups, with the top two teams from each group and the third of the two better-placed groups advancing to the last eight, followed by the semifinals and the final. The draw for this year's Asian Cup will be held online on October 28, with our women's football team in the second slot, while the Australian women's football team and hosts India women's football team are in the first slot.
Our women's soccer team has the most wins in the history of the Asian Cup, winning it eight times, but the last time they won it was back in 2006. This year's Asian Cup also serves as a selection tournament for the 2023 Women's International Cup in Australia and New Zealand, with qualification for the International Cup being granted to those who finish in the top 5 of the Asian Cup (with the exception of the hosts of the International Cup, the Australian Women's Football Team).
The list of participating teams is as follows: Japan, Australia, China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, South Korea, Philippines, Iran, Thailand, Chinese Taipei and Myanmar.
(i) Women's soccer always seems to have good luck
Perhaps because of the extraordinary luck, in this draw, the first slot of the Japanese women's soccer team and Australia's women's soccer team is slightly better, while the same second slot of the South Korean women's soccer team and China's women's soccer team is equal in strength.
In the draw, our women's soccer team avoided Japan and Australia and landed in the group where host India is located, which is currently ranked 57th in the world, with Chinese Taipei at 40th and Iran at 72nd in the same group.
Australia, the first-ranked team, fell into Group B with Japan, also the first-ranked team, and South Korea, the second-ranked team, forming the so-called "Group of Death".
However, even Japan and South Korea, who drew the lower lots, will have little difficulty in getting out of their groups. This is because the top 2 of each group and the third place of the 2 groups with better results advance to the knockout stage. After the group is out of the tournament, the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will be played in order.
In the previous Tokyo Olympics, our women's soccer team also drew the upper draw, but the result was a dismal end. However, objectively speaking, in the Asian context, China's women's soccer team is still a first-class level, currently ranked 17th in the world and 4th in Asia.
In the previous Tokyo Olympics qualifying playoffs, our women's soccer team took the Olympic ticket with a tough last-minute win over South Korea precisely by virtue of a double-round aggregate score of 4:3.
It is unlikely to win the championship, the strength of the women's soccer team has not been the same as in the past. But no matter what, as soon as possible to determine the choice of coach, early preparation, looking forward to the women's Asian Cup to achieve good results.
It is worth noting that this edition of the Women's Asian Cup also serves as a selection tournament for the 2023 Women's International Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where the top five finishers (with the exception of the hosts of the International Cup, the Australian Women's Football Team) are eligible to qualify for the International Cup.
(ii) Head coaches are crucial
The most important task at present is exactly who can put the women's soccer team's current problems, talent selection, playing style, training and other aspects of the adjustment, because it is clear that the Tokyo Olympics of the complete defensive collapse can not be tolerated.
The women's soccer team also does not have good training opportunities and competitions against each other at the moment, so how to adjust and change now, whether to establish this fixed playing style, the new coach needs to make adjustments immediately. Look at our players who have gone out, Wang Frost, Tang Jiali and Shen Menglu, all of whom have overseas experience and need to embrace the new concepts of women's soccer training overseas. Look at foreign training and the development of women's soccer league, are different ways, we are still in the technology and the whole defense are scattered sand state, and even men's soccer conditions and training methods do not have.
According to the leaked news, the Football Association conducted a competition for the new head coach of the women's soccer team this month, and five candidates, Chen Wanting, Liu Huana, Zhao Junzhe, Zhang Haitao, and Wang Jun, took part in the interview.
