China's women's national soccer team, which has been practicing in the United States, is about to have its first friendly match with the rival U.S. women's soccer team. Meanwhile, a youthful showdown will also take place at the White Heron Stadium in Fujian, China, as the Chinese U20 Women's National Youth Football Team will compete with the Australian U20 Youth Football Team.
Current coach Wang Jun is wearing two hats, he is not only the helmsman of the U20 national youth team, but also the temporary commander of the women's national team. Today, Wang Jun will personally sit on the commanding stage to witness the friendly battle between the Chinese women's soccer team. His on-site commanding talent will be on display at this moment. Although he has not been in charge of the national team for a long time, this matchup will test his ability to interpret the game and make adjustments to substitutions on the field.
China Women's National Youth Football Team, as a team coached by Wang Jun for a long time, its technical and tactical level and overall tacit understanding will be fully demonstrated in this match. Wang Jun's coaching style will be reflected in the performance of this team. It is worth mentioning that during Wang Jun's stay in the U.S., the assistant coach will be responsible for the on-site command of the national youth team.
Surprisingly, a mistake by Wang Jun has put the Chinese women's national youth and national teams in a passive position even before the game. He even transferred six core national youth players to the national team, resulting in neither team being able to field their strongest lineup. Core players such as star striker Huo Yuexin, winger Wang Aifang and captain Wang Siqian traveled with the national team to the United States, leaving the national youth team to face the challenge of Australia with a depleted squad.
If the six main players had not been transferred, the national youth team would have expected to win easily. Although the Australian Women's National Youth Football Team is ranked second in Asia, it is still not as strong as the Japan and North Korea Women's Youth Football Teams.
In order to cultivate the national youth light players, Wang Jun adjusted the national team lineup to focus on young players. Even though Yang Lina and Wu Chengshu were unable to participate in the training due to injuries, Yang Lina also suffered from a cold and Wu Chengshu was even injured. Wang Jun added the young Shen Menglu, who is only 21 years old and is expected to play a key role in the game.
Undeniably, this Chinese women's soccer team is too young and lacks experience in national team games. In addition to the six national youth rookies who were selected for the first time to the national team, players such as Shen Menglu, Uri Gumura and Shen Mengyu have just joined the national team not long ago. Too many young players, the overall confrontation ability is insufficient, the strength is seriously affected. Facing the world's top three powerhouse U.S. women's soccer team, they may suffer a crushing defeat.
In fact, Wang Jun's blunders inadvertently sowed the seeds of failure for himself. The results of these two games will be directly related to whether he can become the head coach of the Chinese women's soccer team. If the national youth team beats Australia and the national team is indistinguishable from the American team, Wang Jun will win the recognition of the fans. On the contrary, if both matches are lost, fans will find it difficult to accept his coaching and he will miss the chance to become the real coach of the Chinese women's soccer team.
