Chinese women s football team defeated their opponent 4-2, and fought for the championship in the final round

In this game, the Chinese women's football team easily defeated the Chinese Taipei team with a score of 4-2 with the outstanding performance of Shao Ziqin and Wang Yanwen, and successfully expanded the winning streak with their opponents to 25 games. Next, the Chinese women's football team will usher in a key showdown with the Japanese women's football team. If the Chinese team can defeat Japan, it is expected to win the East Asian Cup championship trophy for the first time.

Shao Ziqin took over Wang Shanshan's important task and became the main offensive weapon when facing the Japanese team. When it comes to the recent strong center of the Chinese women's football team, former captain Wang Shanshan is definitely a legend. Since she retired, the Chinese women's football team once lacked the center forward with strong ability to hold the ball behind the scenes and header goals. However, Shao Ziqin's rise now brings new hope to the team's offense, allowing the team to better utilize the tactics of crossing from the wing. At the previously held Women's Football Asian Cup and Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese women's football team confronted Japan twice, scoring 5 goals in total, all of which scored by headers. Therefore, in the next third round of the East Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team needs to strengthen the cooperation of headers and shots from the back point to improve their chances of winning.

High-level pressing is a "double-edged sword". We need to avoid the re-enactment of the lessons learned at the Asian Games. In the second round of the East Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team unfortunately lost two goals and conceded goals in two consecutive games. Milicic's high-pressing tactic has also aroused doubts. The last time the Chinese women's football team fought against the Japanese team, they also implemented high-pressures, but the opponent established a 4-1 lead in the first half. In this match against the Japanese women's football team, the Chinese team must pay attention to the protection of the backcourt. In recent years, both the men's U20, U16 national teams and the Chinese women's football team have encountered some problems in the quality of the defense line, which is worthy of reflection and review by the coaching teams of each team.

After a 4-2 victory, the Chinese women's football team won the first victory in the East Asian Cup. Media analysts believe that Milicic may become the coach with the worst coaching performance, but if he can lead the Chinese women's football team to win the victory against Japan and achieve the feat of winning the East Asian Cup, his coaching reputation may be greatly improved and transformed.
