In the wave of development of Asian football, the Chinese women's football team once occupied a leading position in Asia, but in recent years this position has gradually been surpassed by teams such as Japan, Australia and North Korea. In the face of such a situation, the performance of the Chinese U20 women's football team in the Asian Youth Championship is particularly interesting. In the contest with the North Korean U20 women's football team, despite the poor historical record, the Chinese team showed perseverance and finally drew 1-1 with the opponent, achieving the best result against the North Korean team in ten years.
This match is not only a test of the strength of the young women's football players, but also a test of their psychological quality. In the past ten years of meetings, the Chinese women's football team has not tasted a win, and even conceded 10 goals in two games. However, in this matchup, the Chinese team conceded a goal first, and the top player Huo Yuexin scored from a distance at the end of the game to help the team recover a point. This is not only a breakthrough in goals, but also a breakthrough in achievements, injecting a shot in the arm for Chinese football.
The North Korean women's football team is known for its mysterious and formidable prowess, and although it rarely appears on the international stage, its level of competition should not be underestimated, even competing with the Japanese women's football team. The Asian Youth Championship is the return of the North Korean women's football team to the international arena after several years, and it is a rare opportunity for the Chinese women's football team to exercise. In an official match, the last time the Chinese U20 women's football team played North Korea's U20 women's ** player was in a friendly match in 2018, when the Chinese team lost 0-5, which shows the strength of the North Korean women's football team. In recent years, the Chinese women's football team has lost consecutive games in important events such as the Olympic Games qualifiers and the Asian Games. Although these problems have little to do with individual players, they reflect the deep-seated problems in China's football system. Both men's and women's football teams need to be systematically reformed and developed. Fortunately, with the arrival of Song Kai and the change of the league, the national team is also looking forward to new changes, and everything is developing in a good direction.
