Chinese women s football team 2-1 Kansas City Reserve Team, poor performance in the past year but completed the transition from old to old

At 2 a.m. today, the women's internationals who had ended the National Games had their first warm-up match after the training camp in the United States. Their opponents were the reserve team (B team) of the champion club of the US Women's Football Super League. In this game, China was basically a semi-main player who mixed the main players with the substitutes. In the end, with the goals of Shao Ziqin and Zhijie, China defeated the opponent 2-1 and achieved a good start to the warm-up match. The purpose of the training camp was very clear, which was to help the players quickly enter the game and welcome the East Asian Cup in July.

For this training camp, Wang Shuang, Wu Haiyan and Yao Wei from Chegujiangda, Wuhan, missed the game because they participated in the semi-finals and finals of the AFC Champions League. Just because at 8 o'clock tonight, Wuhan Chegujiangda will face Australia's Melbourne City Women's Football Team at home at 8 o'clock.

The three Wuhan women's internationals are expected to go to the United States tomorrow to meet with the main force. At that time, the Chinese women's football team, with all members, will face the first team of Kansas City at 5:30 am on the 28th, and then face their third opponent, the United States in the early morning of June 1, and will end this training camp. It is said that China and the United States had a second game on June 4th, but because the Women's Super League will continue to start their journey and other factors on June 7th, in order not to affect the normal progress of the league and the club's performance and ensure the healthy return of the players, the second game of the Chinese and American women's football team was cancelled. The next training camp of the Chinese women's football team is expected to be around June 24, preparing for the East Asian Cup from July 9 to 16.

Today's Chinese women's football team is still in a trough reconstruction. Since all the three major events in 2023 (World Cup, Olympic qualifiers, and Asian Games) have not achieved ideal results, Shui Qingxia stepped down in early 2024. In May of the same year, the Australian head coach led to Milicic taking office. He has been able to play warm-up games for more than a year, and has achieved 7 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. The opponents are all weak teams, such as Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Thailand, Taipei, etc., and it was difficult to win against the top 20 teams in the world.

This year, the problem of low efficiency in the offensive end of the Chinese women's football team has not been solved. In the past, opponents who always beat more than five or six goals have won a lot of small wins of one or two goals in the past year, and the striker is powerless and needs to be solved. Although the performance has not been improved, the Chinese women's football team has basically completed the update. Former veterans Wang Shanshan, Zhang Rui, Yang Lina, Lou Jiahui have withdrawn. Wurigumula, Wu Chengshu, Yao Lingwei, Yan Jinjin and others have also faded out of the roster, leaving only about 10 old people including Yao Wei, Chen Qiaozhu, Wang Yanwen, Tang Jiali, and many U-23 young players including Wang Aifang, Huo Yuexin, Sun Fangxin, Qiao Ruiqi, Shao Ziqin, and Wang Siqian, basically completing the transition from the old to the new.

The Chinese women's football team also has no official competition this year. It may be the only open competition in the next East Asia Cup, and will play the host South Korean team for the first time on July 9, then face Taipei, China on July 13, and challenge the Japanese team on July 16. In March next year, the Chinese women's football team will usher in Milicic's first major competition after taking office - the Asian Cup, and look forward to achieving good results.
