Today, July 21st, the Chinese women's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking 0:5 loss in their first match against the Brazilian women's soccer team at the Tokyo Olympics, and the road to advancement looked quite bumpy. Although the women's soccer girls tried their best to run all over the field during the whole 90 minutes, they were in a disadvantageous position in terms of both individual skills and teamwork. In addition, the full-court press tactics led to excessive physical exertion and frequent mistakes, and eventually lost by a large margin. Although the women's soccer team hit the goalposts many times, but in terms of possession, shooting, threatening passes and other key data, the overall disadvantage, the gap between the strength of the two sides is clear.
At the same time, the Chinese men's soccer team is also facing a similar predicament with the women's soccer team. In the 12 strong match, whether it is individual technology or teamwork, men's football are at a disadvantage, the midfield control is not enough, the back of the defense mistakes. So, the loss of the women's soccer team can give the men's soccer team what inspiration?
1. Pros and cons of the full-field press. When the overall strength is at a disadvantage, the disadvantages of full-field pressing often outweigh the advantages. Lack of strong midfield support, even if you grab the ball, it is easy to lose it again. Apart from increasing the tempo of the game, it does not benefit the weaker teams. Especially against strong teams such as Japan, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, the use of full-field pressing tactics may magnify the vulnerability of their own defense.
2. Rethinking the concept of selection. Whether it is Jia Xiuquan or Li Tie, both with a strong older generation of footballers thinking, favoring obedient, hard-working players. However, in soccer, talent is equally important. Women's soccer girls do not lack hustle and hard work, but Jia Xiuquan's failure to Li Tie a wake-up call. Abandoning good players will be costly. Especially for men's soccer, naturalized players and unruly players are crucial for the national soccer team. How to coach them to maximize their potential and help the national football team achieve victory is the focus of fans' attention.
3. The importance of the team's core. A team can be without stars, but not without a core. Women's soccer is not different from men's soccer in essence, and the players are relatively balanced. In the game, the rhythm can be fast or slow, but can not be adjusted freely. Jia Xiuquan's women's soccer team failed to establish a new core due to the loss of the captain, resulting in the team's lack of ability to control the pace of the game, and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. And while the men's soccer team has established Wu Xi as its core, it remains to be seen whether Wu Xi will be recognized by the players. This is a crucial detail.
The women's soccer team can use "practice" as an excuse for losing, but there is no reason for the men's soccer team to lose. Li Tie in the 40 strong match by virtue of physical and unity victory, but at a higher level of the 12 strong match, these two "magic weapon" is only the foundation. Want to get the victory, the impact of the World Cup, Li Tie must come up with more "magic weapon". We look forward to Li Tie's hands and what to look forward to "magic weapon".
