At the Asian Cup in early 2022, the Chinese women’s football team won the Asian Cup once more following 16 years, giving fans a Spring Festival gift.

In the Asian Cup, the Chinese women’s football team led by Shui Qingxia was unstoppable. They eliminated the powerful Japanese women’s football team through a penalty shootout in the semi-finals and reversed the Korean team 3:2 in the final.

It is worth mentioning that the opponent the Chinese women’s football team encountered in the Olympic preliminaries tonight happened to be the Korean women’s football team once more. The two sides will fight for their last hope of hitting the Paris Olympics.

Looking back at the 2022 Women’s Asian Cup, the Chinese women’s football team was at an extremely low point at that time. In 2021, the team has experienced ups and downs. Under adversity, the Chinese women’s football team grabbed a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics.

However, when they entered the Olympics, the Chinese women’s football team suffered a defeat. They lost to Brazil 0:5, drew with Zambia 4:4, and lost to the Netherlands 2:8. They were eventually eliminated in the group stage.

With only two months left before the Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia became the new coach of the Chinese women’s football team. She quickly reorganized the team’s lineup and led the team to the top of Asia for the first time in 16 years without being favored by the outside world.

Shui Qingxia won the Women’s Asian Cup with the team as a player. Last year, she helped the Chinese women’s football team win the ninth Asian Cup championship trophy as the head coach.

Shui Qingxia once said following winning the championship, it felt very good. The Asian Cup championship allowed the Chinese women’s football team to see the direction of their future efforts.

I hope this honor will bring good luck to the Chinese women’s football team who are regarding to face the decisive battle, and also inspire the team to break out of the “Group of Death”.
