On July 21, the Chinese women's soccer team will meet Brazil in this year's Olympic Games, which is their first showdown. Just the day before, on the 10th, the women's soccer team held a solemn departure ceremony at the Xianghe base and announced the 22-member Olympic roster. Of interest is that, in addition to veteran Wu Haiyan, Wang Frost has also been entrusted with the responsibility of becoming vice-captain. In an interview, Wang Frost revealed that the players have been training very hard to prepare for the Olympics, and some people have even suffered heatstroke, but no matter what difficulties they encounter, the team has the confidence to overcome them.
Talking about being named co-captain, Wang Frost said, "This happened not long ago, we are a brand new women's soccer team with more young players on the team, and as a mid-generation player, Director Jia asked me to be appointed as co-captain at the risk of the team."
Talking about the preparation, Wang Frost pointed out that the high temperature is the biggest challenge. "The weather is hot, sometimes the temperature can reach 37, 8 degrees, but our training volume has not been reduced, the players also have heat stroke, but no matter what, we will find a way to overcome it, because we have an Olympic goal in support of us, the high temperature and the training volume are mostly not a problem."
As of July 10, the Chinese women's soccer team has been preparing for a whole month. According to the schedule, on July 21, the Chinese women's soccer team will make its debut against the Brazilian women's soccer team. Wang Frost said that after a month of adjustment, the team's status is gradually improving. "In the first ten days, the state was relatively low, and after adjustments, we started to rebound from the downward trend. Now we basically have two practices every day in the morning and afternoon, strength training in the morning and technical and tactical training with the ball in the afternoon."
This is Wang Frost's second time competing in the Olympics, and she believes that her mindset is now more stable and mature. "In fact, there is no particular pressure, it is not easy for us to get a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, and we hope to show our bravery and confidence at the Olympics."
