Chongqing Yongchuan International Women’s Football Championship is an important warm-up for the Chinese women’s football team to prepare for the French women’s football World Cup next year. Jia Xiuquan, the coach of the Chinese women’s football team, convened several new players this time, including 6 young people who performed well in the U20 Women’s World Youth Championship. As for the performance of the Chinese women’s football team, Jia Xiuquan commented, “This tournament played well, achieving the purpose of inspecting new people, new and old matches. Chinese football is still on the road, and the road is full of difficulties, but we will work hard and hope everyone will continue to pay attention to the women’s football team.”
23-year-old general he Wei performed well in the match against Thailand. Jia Xiuquan said: “She played well, is relatively young, has very characteristics, and is relatively fast to integrate into the team, I hope there are more players with such characteristics.”
When asked who of these newcomers might carry the banner of Chinese women’s football in the future, Jia Xiuquan thought: “Chinese football does not depend on one or two people to carry the banner, but only on the team, there are more players with characteristics on the basis of the team, not to mention the lack of such players.”
Since he became the coach of the Chinese women’s football team in May this year, Jia Xiuquan, a local coach, handed over a satisfactory report card and led the team to win the silver medal in the Asian Games. After a short break, he won the championship in this tournament, but Jia Xiuquan seemed very calm and rational. He said: “The deeper you know about women’s football, the more difficult you feel. Some people think that the Chinese women’s football team has strength. In fact, there is still a gap. We can compete with the strong team, but we haven’t seen anyone destroy anyone yet. We need more training to ensure that the confrontation will not suffer losses and progress in the confrontation. Although I won the championship in this tournament, there were times when I played badly. If you don’t score for a long time, the mentality of the players will change, and they will be anxious and Miss many good opportunities. If this kind of champion is normal, it will have an impact on the players’ psychology, and the key game will have more control.”
In The Yongchuan Women’s football competition a year ago, the head coach of the Chinese women’s football team was Bruno, a Frenchman. In just one year, three coaches have coached the Chinese women’s football team. When asked about his term of office, Jia Xiuquan smiled and said, “My fate does not depend entirely on me. I will try my best if it belongs to me. As for whether the coach is a foreigner or an ‘old interny’, as long as it can help Chinese football. I don’t know how long my term of office is, but I will continue to work hard.”
