Live broadcast on August 4th news in the early morning of August 4th, Beijing time, the Chinese women’s football team who ended the World Cup journey arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport by flight. The female football coach Shui Qingxia was interviewed by football newspaper and answered a number of questions.
“Football”: The team has been training for half a year since the beginning of the year and has just finished the World Cup. How to adjust the fatigue in the whole process?
Shui Qingxia: “It is not that we have never had such a long training before. Now it is more difficult for you to improve something without these training. Some people may hold different objections. I think there is no absolute so-called right or wrong. Many foreign teams now have a lot longer training time than before. They may also think that it is better for everyone to train together. The national conditions of each country are different.”
“There must be some fatigue in the training process, and it may be better if you win, but I think there is still some effect (training).”
“But it can’t be said that because this training took a long time, then it affected the play, or all aspects were not done enough. I think we should improve our strength.”
Football: The World Cup group match is over. Germany and Brazil are out. Can we say that the pattern of world’s women’s football has changed through this World Cup?
Shui Qingxia: “It should be said that it broke the aura of the strong team in the hearts of many fans in the past. Brazil and Germany are both out, and Brazil has invested a lot this year, hoping to compete for the championship and runner-up.”
“So there is a lot of uncertainty in the football match, and now there are some dark horses, such as Colombia and Jamaica, and others like Portugal are also sorry to be out. The second-and third-rate teams in Europe are slowly coming up, as are the teams in South America. The pattern of the whole women’s football world will change greatly with the development of women’s football in the future.”
Football: Japan and Australia have promoted to the elimination match on behalf of Fifa this time. Recently, some people have compared the gap between us and them, including the gap between football population. How do you think about this topic?
Shui Qingxia: “I can’t say to make excuses, but the gap between the football population base is indeed objective, and the ratio between the two sides is completely different.”
“The Japanese women’s football team has maintained a good system for so many years, and I think their playing style, including their application of technology, is very good. However, Australia itself does not suffer physical losses, and now it is more inclined to this aggressive style of play, so their style of play is more effective.”
“In fact, before the World Cup, we were also making progress, including forced robbery and running. However, the extent of progress may not be as large as that of others. We did not continue to rob, so there are still many things to improve and improve.”
Football: through this World Cup, what do we need to change urgently? Or what bottlenecks have we encountered?
“I think there are many things to change, all aspects. At present, because you are going to play the Asian Games soon, first of all, you must have more running. Playing football is not only a unilateral attack but not a defense, or only a defense but also a more comprehensive attack.”
“At present, we may pay more attention to the whole thing, and we need to do some targeted training individually.”
“Of course, time does not wait for people. The players will play the league when they go back. There is not so much time to improve a lot of things when playing the league. So when we gather training, it will take about three weeks, the time is still tight.”
2023 Women’s World Cup, cheer for beautiful and energetic policewoman!
