to prepare for the tokyo olympic games qualifier to be held next month, the Chinese women’s football team has chosen winter training in Australia in a targeted manner since New Year’s Day, in order to strengthen the technical and tactical details through the combination of two-week competition and practice, and adapt to the opponents to be met at that time in advance, strive to get the first name of the group in Group B to lay an ideal foundation for the play-off.
On the 14th, the Chinese women’s football team ended the 14-day training in Australia. During this period, they warmed up with the club teams of four Australian women’s football leagues. Outside the match day, the girls basically practiced strength in the gym in the morning and strengthened their skills and tactics in the stadium in the afternoon. In addition, physical reserve is also an important aspect.
Due to the confrontation in Group B, Australian women’s football coach Milicic also paid attention to the opponent’s dynamics. He told Xinhua News Agency this month that from the teams participating in the French World Cup last year, “the physical fitness data of Chinese women’s football team is in the lead”. In this training, the Chinese women’s football team is also continuing this feature, making good physical reserves, so that when facing the Australian team ranked first in Asia, it can be on the basis of solid defense, and make a breakthrough in the attack.
During the training on the afternoon of the 12th, coach Jia Xiuquan paid attention to the details during the half-time intensive attack and defense and the whole group confrontation drills conducted by the team, and stopped the training from time to time to demonstrate, correct the defensive position of the team members when they are pressed within a small range after losing the ball, and emphasize the position of the team members when they are defending and controlling the ball, as well as playing the ball with one foot, move the ball to a more favorable position before being forced to grab at the first time.
“The reserve of physical fitness and techniques and tactics is crucial.” Jia Xiuquan said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency. He said that he was very satisfied with the attitude of the players, especially under the requirement of high training intensity, the girls “completed the training plan without reservation”.
When there was a game during the training, Jia Xiuquan said that the whole team would not deliberately adjust the training volume the day before, in order to test the stability of the team members.
“In fact, in order to keep the players in a tired state, we can have a stable control over ourselves, which is what we need. What should I do under fatigue? Therefore, in conclusion, these two weeks, I am quite satisfied. I am satisfied with the attitude and efforts of the players, including the overall things we have practiced, are also improving.” He said.
After leading the team to the top 16 of the World Cup last year, Jia Xiuquan said that he and the coaching staff were also constantly summarizing.
“Through the World Cup, we are summarizing, hoping to play our own characteristics and create a skillful whole. We have been pursuing the whole, regardless of whether the attack and defense can play their own whole, play their own characteristics.” He said.
Sun Wen, vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association and former international in the glorious period of “beautiful and energetic policewoman”, followed the team for winter training this time. In addition to watching the training on the side of the court, she occasionally changed her sneakers in the strengthening part of the shooting at the end of the training, cooperated with the coaching team, and passed the ball for the players who grabbed the spot in front of the door.
The Chinese women’s football team will be divided into Group B with Australia, Thailand and Chinese Taipei teams in the Olympic preliminary competition to be held in Wuhan on February 3-9. Another Group A includes South Korea, Vietnam and Myanmar, and the competition was held in South Korea.
According to the competition system, the top two of each team are promoted to the play-in. At that time, the head of each group will cross with the second place of another group in the main and away games in March. The two winning teams and the host Japan who automatically qualified for the competition will advance to the Olympic Games.
Because the South Korean team is the strongest in Group A, it is A big probability to get the first name. If the Chinese women’s football team can press the Australian team to be the first in Group B in Wuhan, the schedule will probably be relatively favorable in the play-off. However, even if you get the second place in the group, take the coaching staff’s words, the Chinese women’s football team is not afraid of any opponents and will go all out to fight for the game.
On the 14th, the Chinese women’s football team will leave for China as planned. The reporter learned from the team that except for two days off on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day and reunion with their families, the whole team had to fully prepare for the qualifier in Wuhan.
