In the soccer world, Chi Xiaoran and Wang Frost, two women who are better? Wang Frost once said, "I entered the Olympics, but she retired due to cramps, the next Olympics, I will fight again."
China's women's soccer team has been in a good mood recently, not only nearly eliminating the South Korean women's soccer team from the Olympics, but also being lucky enough to get into the weakest group in the draw. This is almost a "guaranteed" group that goes straight through to the last eight, gathering four of the weakest teams in the four brackets, such a grouping itself is a miracle.
The South Korean women's soccer team was upset after the match against China's women's soccer team and vowed to enter the main round of the next Olympic Games. They have already qualified for the Women's World Youth Championship and participated in the World Cup, but have never set foot in the Olympics, which has become an insurmountable gap for the Korean women's soccer team. However, this is just a slogan. The 2023 Olympic qualifying tournament is the real challenge, will the Korean women's soccer team succeed in advancing?
The South Korean women's soccer team has been improving at a rapid pace, thanks to the contribution of world-class star Ji Xiaoran. Ji plays for European giants Chelsea and is the soul of the team. There are a few other players playing in European leagues, such as Cho Cho Hyo Hyun, Lee Kim Min and Jang Seul Ki, but their strength and influence are not comparable to Ji's. They are also far less important than Ji in their respective teams. Their status in their respective teams is also far less than that of Ji Xiaoran, even Zhao Zhaoxian was loaned by West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur, and Li Jinwen was loaned by her original team to Brighton. Ji Xiaoran's performance in Europe was even better, scoring in the Champions League to help Chelsea reach the quarterfinals.
However, no true women's soccer fan can deny Ji Xiaoran's strength, but the reality is that she is already 30 years old, her fitness cannot sustain the intense confrontation in extra time, and her individual level has declined, making it difficult for her to perform difficult moves in high-speed matches. Two years later, she will be 32 years old, physical fitness and condition will further decline, the overall strength of the Korean women's soccer team may be affected, and the Olympic qualification will be more difficult to obtain.
In contrast, our women's soccer team will be even stronger then. 2023, Wang Frost and Tang Jiali are at the peak of 28 years old, and the new stars Shen Mengyu, Zhang Linyan and Xie Qiwen will also grow up and step into the peak of their career. In addition, a large number of new stars have emerged in China's women's soccer league, such as Yan Jinjin. Two years later, China's women's soccer will usher in a new peak, at least able to reach the first-class level in Asia, so in the Olympic qualifying rounds, the South Korean women's soccer team will be difficult to become China's women's soccer team's rivals.
However, the next Olympic Games will not be held in Asia, and the Asian quota has been reduced from three to two, the competition will be more intense. The strength of Japan Women's Football Team and Australia Women's Football Team should not be underestimated, and North Korea Women's Football Team will still abstain from the competition, so the Olympic Qualification Tournament will see a four-team competition among China Women's Football Team, South Korea Women's Football Team, Australia Women's Football Team and Japan Women's Football Team. Our women's soccer team will also face more challenges than the current China-Korea war if they want to get out of the line, so will our women's soccer team still be able to participate in the next Olympic Games?
