October 31st News: In the 1/8 finals of the U17 Women's Football World Cup, the Chinese women's football team lost 0-3 to the Brazilian women's football team and missed the quarterfinals. Media person Miao Yuan wrote an article that the U17 Chinese women's football team is currently top-notch in Asia in terms of technology and physical fitness, and can be considered second-rate in the world, but it is still obviously lagging behind in terms of physical strength and competition ability.

The U17 Chinese women's football team was eliminated from the World Cup by Brazil. There has been a lot of discussion in the industry these days. Our young female football players' skills and bodies are currently top-notch in Asia, and they can be considered second-rate in the world. However, they are still relatively lagging behind in terms of physical strength and competition ability.

The national women's football team is indeed lacking in the aspect of long-term and frequent overseas competitions. This is also due to the Football Association's limited energy and funds. But now there is an idea, which is to invite coaches from more developed overseas women's football teams. These people have sufficient skills and are cost-effective. They can develop our players' physical fitness through scientific methods, including speed, flexibility, endurance, and strength.

The coaching staff also said this time that it was really hurt not to be able to warm up with European teams more, but the team is not physically fit and will be defeated sooner or later no matter how they play. From the youth training stage, advanced foreign physical training concepts and coaches have been introduced to enhance the world competitiveness of the Chinese women's football team. This is not only about "physical fitness" itself, but also about the core part of building a scientific and sustainable football talent training system. This requires decision makers to show courage and make long-term and firm investment.

The reason why the United States can maintain the world's top level in the era of rapid rise of Europe is because their accumulation of sports science and physical training is too deep. The Chinese women's football team has no shortage of hard work and hard training in the past.

Physical training, acceleration and speed training, and game rhythm training all need to start early. If you make up for it after you become an adult, both men's and women's football teams have suffered big losses. Recruiting specialized foreign coaches is a huge support for local coaches, and it also has a "catfish effect" on local coaches with similar roles. Moreover, the cost in this regard is far lower than hiring a foreign head coach. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a Manxing physical assistant coach, and it is very possible to benefit the national men's football team.
