In the green field, whether it is a soccer tournament or a basketball battle, the offense can always win the cheers of the fans, while the defense is often the achievement of the championship. The Brazilian team that repeatedly exciting offense, seems to have become the standard for winning the championship, but do not forget, they won the championship behind the impenetrable back line.
As a soccer fan who is passionate about soccer, let's not mention the performance of the men's soccer team. Today, the women's soccer team's wonderful duel undoubtedly for our fans to offer a "heart-stopping" feast.
Returning home with a two-goal advantage on the road, it seemed as if the line was already set. Before the match against the South Korean women's soccer team, the familiar refrain appeared again in the media: "A draw will get us out of the tournament, and we can even accept 0-1!"
Once upon a time, the spell of playing a draw to get out of the group seemed to hang over our men's soccer team. However, nowadays the men's soccer team has been freed from this bondage, and even in the last match of the group stage, a win may not ensure a place in the tournament.
Today, the first half of the women's soccer game seemed to inherit the legacy of "our men's soccer team", and Coach Jia Xiuquan seemed to be the same familiar mastermind. The two goals conceded were due to the individual ability of the Korean women's soccer team, but more importantly, the conservative tactics they adopted. Coach Jia seems to have taught his women's soccer team to play defensively, and in the first half, facing the 343 formation of the Korean women's soccer team, the defense failed to be solid, and the offense was unable to find a good opportunity. Wang Frost's few chances to get the ball also looked a bit awkward.
Fortunately, the second half of the women's soccer girls achieved self-redemption. Wang Frost's chances with the ball increased significantly. This was not a kindness from the Korean team, but our women's soccer girls blew the horn of offense. In the end, with a free kick from Wang Frost, we thrillingly made it to overtime and successfully advanced to the Olympics.
While defense is important, being conservative is not. A game that could have been resolved in 90 minutes was played for 120 minutes. Coach Jia Xiuquan still seems to retain the conservative tactics of the men's soccer era. Thanks to Wang Frost, we almost missed the Olympics again. Why do I say "again"?
