the US The national women’s national team suffered from its first loss in the era of Emma Hayes when it is more experienced and tactical Japan The Americans were defeated 2-1 to win Chipvis Cup The title of Wednesday night at Snapdragon Stadium.
The Japanese, who entered this game with eight goals in the first two games of the championship, came out hot and scored in the second minute. Man City Yi Hasgaoa You play Yuka Mumki From Leicester City, who won Emily Sonit And bombing a shot on the goalkeeper Jane Campbell. While Uswnt canceled Japan in the quarter -finals of the Paris Olympics last summer, this moment was a little Diga Fu of the 2024 Chevilvis Cup when Japan scored 30 seconds in this match in the semi -finals.
While the United States tied a few moments later in a beautiful kick by ALY SENTNOR, the Japanese regained their progress in the second half of a group piece. In the end, the Americans committed mistakes, and they had a lot of transformations and struggled to constantly finish in the last third.
“I fully understood the quality of the opponent that we will face tonight,” Hayes said after the match. “They are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the world with the players who are played very well, while the vast majority of them are in the middle of them [club] season. And I think that was shown in the game.
“It is okay to be disappointed. I told the players this. It is really important to remember like this and the learning we take from, and I look forward to the next opportunity, we are together to build on some of these progress and learn the most important things when you play a first degree opponent. I would like to do so now from later.”
Uswnt entered this window without at least five ordinary beginners. The “triple espresso” front line from Trinity Rodmanand Malory Swanson and Sofia Wilson It was not available to choose the menu. no Rose Laville no Naomi Jerma. plus, Alisa River She retired at the end of last year and Campbell got its tenth cover for Japan.
But the primary goal of Hayz in this camp-and on the extent of 2025-is to give opportunities for younger and less experienced players on the field against quality opponents in high pressure situations, so that when these players or other stars are not available, there is no noticeable diving in playing. Although the United States always wants to win, it is still the first days of the talent that has evolved.
The coach put the matter earlier in the week when I talked about the future growth of this team.
Hayes said: “The most difficult part of my position is that I cannot give them the things that it takes only time,” Hayes said. So, let’s say that you got ally Sentnor and Cat Macario. How many times have they played [together] before? Ally needs to know the cat’s tendencies, what Lindsey is, etc., etc. Chemistry is the one that comes with time.
“The triple espresso, their chemistry was very strong because they played together several times … it will take some time [to develop that chemistry]. But I really think a really good start for this year. “
Below is fast food from the match:
Play the game:
In the fourteenth minute, Makario won the ball in the midfield, where it turned and played a ball to Sentnor, which took one touch in the box and heard an ideal shot through a Japanese Japanese goalkeeper. Ayaka Yamashita.
“An incredible ball from the cat, it was an ideal pace on it and all I had to do was finish that,” Sinnour told the Broadcasting newspaper at the end of the first half. “If we can do more in the second half, we will be successful.”
Uswnt was unable to take advantage of the second half as Japan managed to manage the game. However, Sentnor quickly established itself on this first team. The 21 -year -old achieved the beginning of USWnt and scored two goals, with three contributions to this tournament.
“Ally showed her ascent through the national youth teams and in its first year of professionals [in the NWSL] Hayes said: “It has characteristics that can decide a game,” she said. “She definitely ends the minimum opportunities that you may get and this is what the best players have and I think she got it.
“I think it will build her confidence in obtaining this tournament and will be given a few games, somewhat from behind.”
turning point:
Japan regained the lead immediately after the end of the first half.
In the 50th minute, Japan got a free kick outside the box. The first strike of Hasegawa was rescued by Campbell, but TOKA Koga got a recovery and infiltrated into a shot after the US goalkeeper to give its team a 2-1 feature.
At this stage, USWnt found itself in a position that needs to score two goals to win the Sixth Chelef Cup title in a row as the neck tie prefers Japan because of the difference in the target.
Main statistics:
Japan has quickly registered registration against Americans.
In the opening match of the Shabpsus Cup last year, Kiko Sik scored in the first 30 seconds.
What is the following for USWnt?
Uswnt will not meet again until the next window in April two games against Brazil in Los Angeles and San Jose. This camp will include both adult teams and U-23, which will continue simultaneously, similar to how to do things in January.
It will be interesting to know the players who are called to join the elderly for the people who will retreat to play with the U-23 team. Hayes said he should not be considered a decline, however, if the player needs more time at a lower level. Instead, all of this is part of the strategy to ensure that the group of players’ gathering continues to develop the right path.
Hayes was asked if she now knew which players will train where. She said that the program has a “truly comprehensive process” in determining this, including inputs of senior employees and youth.
Hayes said: “We will work in the coming weeks, we do not believe that the best paths of progress will be for every player, and I feel that we are in a strong place in terms of that trip.” “I think it is through the risks that we bear now is the correct decision of the program.
So, it has now been run to the following steps and the great thing in this period is that we have a coming camp in April, then in May, then in June, I think we have a good period of time to determine our identity and [that’s] Something we look for strongly. “
