The Chinese women's football team will travel to the United States in early December to play two friendly matches against the United States team, which will be the last two official matches of the Chinese women's football team in 2023. The Chinese women's football team has not often encountered the United States team in international competitions in the past two years, and the American team still maintains the world's top strength and is a strong contender for the championship of various major competitions. Compared with the past, the strength of the Chinese women's football team has declined, and even has become a second-rate team in the world. Therefore, the match between the Chinese women's football team and the United States team will be an important opportunity for self-improvement and strength testing. The Chinese women's football team has finished its domestic training camp and left for the United States for training to adapt to the venue. It is worth mentioning that the head coach of the Chinese women's football team has also changed, and Wang Jun temporarily led the Chinese women's football team to participate in these two warm-up matches. There have also been some big changes in the roster of players, but not so much at the core player level.
For example, Tang Jiali is back in the team, but she may not be able to play the main position, so the starting lineup may not change much outside of veterans Zhang Rui and Lou Jiahui. In this squad, Wang Shanshan was selected as a defender rather than a striker, which is controversial because many believe that she has excellent attacking ability up front, and if she can be ranked as a striker, the Chinese women's football team will perform even better in the Asian Cup and World Cup. However, Wang Shanshan is still selected in the squad as a defender, which means that in the eyes of the coach, Wang Shanshan is still the mainstay of the defender. Earlier in the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team won the championship with Wang Shanshan's performance at the back, which proved that letting Wang Shanshan play as a defender was a successful option in some cases. Therefore, whoever is the head coach may choose to let Wang Shanshan play a role in the backline.
In addition, Tang Jiali, who was selected for the list, was controversial before, because she was not placed in the forward position, but in the midfield position. Tang Jiali has played in Europe for several years, but her goal scoring efficiency is not high, so it may not be suitable to be placed in the striker position. This arrangement puts Tang Jiali in the midfield position, which may be more in line with her characteristics. Overall, the Chinese women's football team faces many challenges, but the match against the United States team can provide valuable training and testing opportunities for the team. Despite some changes to the coaching and player roster, the core lineup may not change much. I hope that the Chinese women's football team can play a wonderful performance in this game and verify and improve their strength again.
