The women’s football team loses more than just one game: if they can’t go to Paris, subsequent development will be unsustainable
The Chinese women's football team lost 1-2 to the North Korean women's football team, and their preparations for the Paris Olympics suffered a "bad start". In this game, the Chinese women's football team not only failed to make a good start for the Paris Olympics, but also caused the team to lose the initiative to advance to the third knockout round. Today we might as well think about the problem a little more seriously. If the Chinese women's football team really misses the Paris Olympics, what impact will it have on the subsequent development of the Chinese women's football team?
Women’s football team missing out on the Olympics will lead to a lack of sponsors
It can be seen from the rise and fall of the Chinese Super League and the changes in women's football in recent years that the amount of investment in Chinese football is largely determined by sponsors. If the women's football team fails to compete in the Paris Olympics and fails to board the flight to Paris, the commercial value of the Chinese women's football team will plummet. The women's football team is likely to be in a very bad situation in terms of funding in the future. The monthly salary is 3,000, and the players cannot muster the energy to play. The ball situation will arise again. The situation of the Chinese women's football team from 2008 to 2012 will happen again.
After the women’s football team missed the Olympics, the “going global” strategy encountered setbacks
After Shui Qingxia became the head coach of the Chinese women's football team, she has been asking Chinese women's football players to boldly study abroad, and the women's football team has also added many overseas training plans. However, the Chinese women's football team, which has the largest number of returned players in Asia, actually failed in the Olympic qualifying round. The one who defeated the Chinese women's football team was the North Korean women's football team, which has been unable to play international competitions for a long time and has been in a closed state. This will make many people who originally supported the trend of women's football teams studying abroad doubt the trend Shui Qingxia has been promoting. Previously, the former coach of the women's football team Jia Xiuquan criticized Wang Shuang's decline in physical fitness after studying abroad. If the physical fitness of Chinese female football players declines after studying abroad, will it cause senior officials to doubt the effectiveness of "going abroad"? I am afraid that the Chinese team will enter a completely closed state in the future.
For the honor of the Chinese women's football team, for the team, and even for the future development of the Chinese women's football team, the girls of the Chinese women's football team must reach the Olympics. Promoting the development of women's football based on performance is the reality of Chinese women's football. This is a key battle that affects the development prospects of women's football in the next ten years. There must be no surprises in the subsequent two consecutive victories.
