China's women's soccer world is currently setting off a heated discussion, the selection of coaching fiasco has become a laughing stock in Asia. In the 28th Asian Cup women's football group draw, our women's football team is embarrassed to become the only one of the 12 participating teams has not yet determined the head coach of the team. However, in fact, China's women's soccer team is not without a manager, only the Football Association has not been announced for the time being. Not announcing a manager is somehow even more embarrassing than not having one. The FA is indeed in a difficult situation, no matter which coach is announced, it may face internal and external difficulties. According to the established criteria, only Wang Jun and Zhang Haitao are eligible, but if it is not Chen Wanting, will the fans protest? If it's Chen Wanting, then the qualifications set by the FA will be reduced to a waste of paper, a slap in the face, and how can Wang Jun and Zhang Haitao be convinced?
In fact, it is not easy to be the head coach of our women's soccer team, and once the team fails to reach or even surpass the level of international runner-up, it will be subject to verbal criticism. Fans have only one criterion: we were international runners-up, and if we fail to lead the team to the second place, we will be regarded as failures and have to bear the blame. Jia Xiuquan was unfortunately targeted, and despite his moderate results - runner-up in the Asian Games, qualifying for the World Cup, and qualifying for the Olympics - he was still not immune to the fans' barrage. Especially after Tang Jiali was excluded from the Olympic roster, Jia Xiuquan became the center of public opinion, and even after he left his post, he was not spared.
Tang Jiali failed to qualify for the Olympics but managed to land in Europe, joining Tottenham Hotspur Women's Football Club in the English Premier League on a one-year loan. If her performance meets the team's requirements, she will be officially transferred after the loan period. If she fails to meet the requirements, she will continue to be on loan or return to the Shanghai Agricultural and Commercial Bank (SACB). For now, it seems that her future is still full of unknowns. Tang Jiali is now the team's main alternate, in the five rounds of Super League that have been played, she has made four substitute appearances, and one without a chance to play, which was the 2-1 win over Manchester City. However, she made her debut against Arsenal in the FA Cup and also started against Charlton Ladies in the League Cup.
In four substitute appearances in the league, Tang Jiali still played well enough to at least retain her position as the main backup. In these four league games, she finished with one assist, and it was a kill assist, and one indirect assist, but no one seems to know the credit for these two goals, as all Chinese women's soccer fans believe that assists and indirect assists are more creditable than goals. After these two matches, Jia Xiuquan was invariably taunted by the fans, who used Tang Jiali's outstanding performance to satirize Jia Xiuquan's vision.
Regarding why Jia Xiuquan didn't reuse Tang Jiali, I believe that if Tang Jiali hadn't been injured, Jia Xiuquan would have made a mistake. On the front line, Tang is clearly more capable than Uri Gumura and Yang Man, and more experienced than Wang Yanwen from Beijing Beijin. Even though Tang Jiali is currently a backup in the Tottenham Hotspur women's soccer team, scoring only one goal in six games, with one assist and one indirect assist, I believe she will be able to become a starter and shine in Europe. However, Tang Jiali's performance is not as good as what the fans expect from her as compared to a few months ago, otherwise she wouldn't be an alternate player in the EPL. Whether or not an EPL reserve player participates in the Olympics does not have a big impact on the course of the game, so let's let Jia Xiuquan off the hook and pay more attention to the new manager and the development of our women's soccer team. Fans should also have their own judgment, do not be led by the nose, many reports of our women's soccer team are intentional to guide public opinion.
