Sweden defeated Japan 2-1 and entered the final four of the Women’s World Cup. However, it was more difficult for them to play the top American team in the 1/8 final.
In that game, 11 saves were given in 120 minutes, and after the Americans lost 3 goals in the decisive battle of penalty kick, musovic, 27, who played for Chelsea women’s football team, sent the Swedish women’s football team to the top eight of the World Cup.
When she jumped, hugged and sang with her teammates in the locker room of Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, the theoretically almost impeccable American women’s football team could only survive the night of exit with tears.
Looking at the top eight women’s football World Cup, European teams occupy 5 seats-Europe will dominate the development of women’s football in the future.
American women’s football team has no advantages
“I would like to ask here that you are of Bosniac blood like Zlatan ibashimovic. Do you know Zlatan?”
“In Sweden, everyone knows Zlatan.”
After the performance of the goalkeeper, which may be the most outstanding in the 2023 World Cup, the best Swedish women’s goalkeeper zechira Mushovic won’t expect that, I actually heard such a meaningless question at the press conference.
Her frown and look around are self-evident, and her answer with a smile is still full of grace.
Of course, every Swede will know Zlatan ibashimovic, but at least on August 6, 2023, zechira Mushovic was the name that would be remembered by fans in Sweden, Europe and even the world.
Because of her rescue, the World Cup defending champion America was out-1 win, 3 flat goals, 4 goals, stop the top 16, the American women’s football team coached by Antonovsky left the worst record of the Young Pioneer Team History World Cup in Melbourne.
Moreover, this is the second time since the first World Cup in 1991, the American women’s football team has been blocked outside the top four of the world-class intercontinental competition.
American women’s football team was eliminated.
Coincidentally, the makers of these two Waterloo are the strong Swedish women’s football team. Seven years ago, the 1/4 final of the Rio Olympic Games was also the “Ruimei duel”. It was still the penalty kick war. The last laugh was the Nordic team wearing yellow battle robes.
The future of American football, 22-year-old Sophia Smith (above) and 21-year-old tentit Rodman (below).
For the American women’s football team, the second rescue of 21 shots with no results and a slight difference between Nehr seems to be classified as a matter of luck. However, in connection with former international Carly Lloyd’s criticism of the team’s attack line and the poor performance of the European team, who played three times in this World Cup, only scored one goal, the American women’s football team went home early enough to be regarded as a landmark negative node.
Such a disaster-like result was not only the first consecutive two Intercontinental competitions of the American women’s football team Young Pioneer team history, but also missed the finals, and there was no advantage in the five matches with European teams in the past two competitions (the record was only 4 draws and 1 loss), what’s more, the American women’s football team, which was “a string of five” against European giants in France four years ago, has already fallen into a trough that needs to be pushed back.
Tactical innovation in Europe
There is no doubt that the development center of the world’s women’s football is leaning towards Europe, where the league system is more developed and the technical and tactical ideas are more complete. Even if Germany and Italy unexpectedly capsized in the group match, however, the overall advantages of European teams are still clearly visible.
Before The opening of this women’s football World Cup, The Analyst, a sub-brand of The well-known data company OPTA, used a special model to give a ranking of odds for winning The championship: The United States led by 21.65 percent, england, which suffered from injuries, ranked second.
Different from the superstition and rigid tactics of American coach Antonovsky, it is difficult for several star players to form a linkage. Last summer, Weigman, the Dutch leader who sent England to the European Cup, it shows more advanced team formation ability and selection ideas.
After she was blocked at the beginning of the game, she changed the position of the four guards who were familiar with the road. She boldly started the 3-4-1-2 system that she had never dabbled in, which made the whole world see that 21-year-old Lauren James was omnipotent in the 10th position.
Incidentally, Weigman’s motherland Holland is one of the countries with the most coach output in this World Cup-there are also three Dutch coach Joan Kerr and Irish coach Vera Bao.
Sweden and France, which belong to Europe, have also contributed three headmasters to this World Cup respectively. The popularity of European head coach in women’s football world is evident.
The gears of the football industry began to rotate.
Look at the scale of participation of the European league and the team in this World Cup-the so-called “The future belongs to Europe” is by no means an empty talk.
In the list of teams contributing to the number of international players in this World Cup, the top ten teams are all from European football: Barcelona, 17; Chelsea, 16; Arsenal, Lyon, Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain, real Madrid, 13 people; There are also 12 people in Benfica, Juventus, Rome and Wolfsburg.
In short, the core framework of the world’s top women’s football has been controlled by the growing European forces. Many people who are used to it in the men’s football world will probably become the main picture of women’s football.
The so-called one country does not play two kinds of football, and the health of the men’s football industry and training system in one region often determines the upper limit of women’s football development here.
Therefore, Japan can “double kill” the Spanish team in the World Cup men and women Pure. Americans are no longer efficient in fighting alone, and the trouble Germany men and women pure encountered in the top arena does not seem to be a simple coincidence……
Of course, the Japanese team that defeated Norway 3-1 in the 1/8 final and the Nigeria team that defeated host Australia in the group match were one of the best non-European teams in this competition.
In the contest between the top eight and the women’s football team of England, the Nigeria team showed the best impact force and the ability to organize the defense line, which forced Lauren James to get out of control and get off the red card, there is even a chance to fight against the cold in penalty kick……
However, we should know that this Nigeria does not lack the “processing” of the European system-there are 16 players in the team, all of whom played in the European Women’s Football League last season.
From now to the future, the driving force emitted by European football is bound to further catalyze the transformation of women’s football in the world-if you stay out of it, you will only be left farther and farther.
