3 good news

1. Yao Wei was in excellent form and performed amazingly

The Chinese women's football team led twice in the game, especially Yao Wei scored a wonderful world wave and assisted Shao Ziqin to score, showing his strong personal ability and key ball influence. This shows that the team is not without highlights, and some Middle-zoic players are carrying the banner.

2. The substitute adjustment has initial results

Although the outside world questioned Milicic's overall coaching level, his substitution in the second half did bring about certain changes. The Chinese women's football team regained the initiative and once led the way again, indicating that the tactical adjustment still has a positive effect.

3. There are still advantages in historical confrontations, but there is no psychological disadvantage. From the historical record, the Chinese women's football team still has an absolute advantage in the match against South Korea, winning 29 games in the last 42 games, proving that this team has not been suppressed by the opponent at the psychological level and still has the confidence to fight.

2 bad news

1. The defense line is aging, and the defense is seriously hidden dangers

Both goals conceded appeared at the end of the half, and the chain was lost at the critical moment, exposing physical fitness and concentration problems. In particular, veterans such as Zhang Xin and Wu Haiyan have frequently lost their positions, which has aroused widespread doubts from the media and fans, and the voices calling for renewal are getting higher and higher.

2. The head coach's selection and technical and tactical ability are questioned

After the game, many reporters pointed out that Milicic did not look at the state of the situation. Although the substitution was effective, the overall coaching idea was vague, the technical and tactics were out of order. The team lacked midfield organization, and the offense and defense were disconnected. The overall performance was becoming more and more similar to the men's football team, which was worrying.
