On the subject of whether 36-year-old Chen Wanting can take charge of the Chinese women's soccer team, fans are eagerly waiting. Faced with the straightforward question from fans: "Is Chen Wanting capable of coaching the women's soccer team?" Renowned journalist Li Xuan gave a positive answer and revealed the subtle changes within the women's soccer team during Shui Qingxia's coaching period. She said, "At the end of Shui Qingxia's tenure, there was significant resistance within the women's soccer team. Can Chen manage this team now?" Li Xuan's comments reveal that the root cause of the women's soccer team's debacle is not a singular skill set, but a breakdown in team cohesion. She further pointed out that there are many problems within the women's soccer team, and the young Chen Wanting is afraid that it will be difficult to resolve them all. Thus, whether Chen Wanting is competent or not is no longer a matter of ability, but whether she can withstand such pressure. Obviously, it seems that she is not up to the task.
Li Xuan's exposure of Shui Qingxia's end-of-coaching insider knowledge is a wake-up call for women's soccer vice president Sun Wen. In order to bring China's women's soccer team back to the top, Sun Wen urgently needs to take decisive measures, such as getting more deeply involved in the management of the national team, assisting the coach in dealing with key players, and ensuring the team's consensus, or else the move to change the manager may be futile.
