Only one point in three consecutive matches! Our women's soccer team lost 0-5 to Brazil, drew 4-4 with Zambia, and lost 2-8 to the Netherlands. Since the 2008 Beijing Olympics 0-8 loss to the German women's soccer team, China's women's soccer team suffered the worst defeat in recent years. Three games conceded 17 goals, the group ranked at the bottom of the list, in the 12 participating teams ranked third from the bottom, this Olympic "practice" harvest what?
The announcement of the Tokyo Olympics roster has sparked a buzz on the internet. The list has been changed so much that it has been elusive. Compared to the Olympic qualifying list, nine of them were replaced. Four of those nine players are starters, including Tang Jiali, Ma Jun, Lou Jiahui and Yao Wei. Knowing that the full quota is only 22, this change is equivalent to pushing back all previous efforts to reorganize the team. Jia guide has publicly stated that the stars are not needed and Wang Frost should not stand out, but please do not forget that the ones who saved the day are also the ones who are not needed. This Tokyo Olympics, the only impressions left are the humiliating defeat and Wang Frost's big four, what else is there?
Any sports program needs new people to emerge and keep fresh blood replenished in order to develop in a healthy way. The same is true for our women's soccer team. However, the training of newcomers is not only carried out in such major competitions as the Olympic Games and the World Cup, unless the newcomers have extraordinary talents. However, with reference to the league performances of the nine newcomers, it seems that they are not particularly outstanding and have no extraordinary talents, and some players have even participated in competitions within two years. On the contrary, the two main players who fell in the two rounds of life and death against the South Korean women's soccer team, China's women's soccer team won 4-3, but the fans who have seen the game were shocked out of a cold sweat. Lou Jiahui got a well-placed free kick with her hustle, and Wang Frost seized the opportunity to directly break the goal. Tang Jiali helped her team create a penalty kick in the game and also had an extreme breakaway on the goal line. The news that these two big contributors, surprisingly, ended up not being in the Tokyo Olympics surprised even the AFC. So who exactly are these newcomers?
Uri Gumura is 0 appearances and 0 goals in the national team, she plays the position of striker, can play right winger, center forward. She has a good ability to break through with the ball on the side, and is a newcomer worth cultivating. Liu Jing, Uri Gumura's teammate in Changchun, is also a player who has not played or scored in the national team. Jia's selection of these two players, supposedly because of their tacit understanding of the same team can produce a chemical effect, was selected in the roster of the Tokyo Olympics.
Wang Yanwen is a newcomer who plays for Dalian Football Club and is only 22 years old this year. However, this newcomer is wearing the No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes the soul and core of the team, and interestingly enough, she has no record of scoring or appearing in the first team. The goalkeeper position of the 32-year-old goalkeeper Ding Xuan, also in the national team has no record of appearances. Jin Kun, in the backline, had scored in the national team back in 2019, only as a newcomer, she just had a good performance in the national team before announcing her retirement due to her studies. I didn't expect her, who hasn't played much competition for two years, to make the 22-player roster.
In the midfield position, in addition to Wang Yanwen and Changchun youngster Liu Jing, the newcomers selected this time are Wang Yan, Wang Ying, Miao Shiwen and Yang Lina. Both players, Wang Yan and Wang Ying, have not been able to get much systematic training due to their injury problems, and have not played much competition since the 2019 World Cup. Miao Wenya was also injured and underwent surgery at the end of 2019 and has only recently returned from injury. These three new midfielders above, although it is not the first time to be selected for the national team, and used to be regarded as the main players of the women's soccer team, but they all suffered injuries, and have not been competing for a long time, can the condition be guaranteed?
These nine newcomers, some are retired after the comeback, some have suffered serious injuries have not been systematic training and competition, and some are not in the first team to have a playing moment and record. Are they only able to pressure the hot Lou Jiahui, Tang Jiali, Ma Jun into the list?
Of course, we also have to recognize the development of today's soccer. With the current state of domestic soccer, even if all the best players of our women's soccer team are gathered together, it is still not possible to secure a place in one of the thirteen teams. After all, the international are progressing, and the domestic soccer of the impatient environment, we once "clanging roses" of the golden age has gone. China's women's soccer used to be ranked fourth in the international rankings, and want to embark on this "road to recovery" is still difficult, not only need to tilt on the policy, more also need to start from the grassroots of the general public soccer road. Chinese football, whether it is men's or women's football, need to improve the policy is not the control, but to let more people love soccer, love soccer and soccer will become their own desire!
Tokyo's three rounds of tour has ended, closed-door training for two years, the players in addition to physical fitness to enhance the individual skills have not improved. Jia guide emphasized the whole soccer, but on the field embodiment does not reflect the overall tactics, offensively no rules, the lack of cooperation between the players, long passes are basically not in place, short passes immediately lost, let a person think about the closed-door training in the end practiced what? However, China's football is still moving forward, in the Tokyo Olympics loss of bad news, the only thing to rejoice in the domestic soccer environment is still in the downhill period, there are still young players to go through the thick and thin to move forward, 19 years old Shen Mengyu joined Celtic, 19 years old Shen Menglou to join Sporting Portugal, our 26 year old Tang Chia-li to join the Tottenham Hotspur team, but claimed that to cultivate the new man (with a 32-year-old) But Jia's Olympic team, which claimed to be developing new talent (with a 32-year-old "newcomer" in goal), didn't have a single selection.

In an interview with Workers' Daily in 2019, Sun Wen said, "Our women's football team has not kept up with the current trend of masculinization of international women's football, and at the same time lost a lot of the old women's football team's good play, such as the ground passing and cutting cooperation, active running and receiving, and so on. Comparing with other strong teams, our players are in a disadvantageous position in terms of individual skills, and we can't play in the overall organization, so it's difficult on the field."
