The Chinese women’s ice hockey team beat Poland 1-0 at Shougang park ice hockey stadium on the afternoon of the 3rd, which was also the first game for Swiss Colie G Jacob to coach the Chinese team. Colie G Jacob took over Chinese female ice a month ago. His first major action was to adjust the team group. Now the four groups have relatively balanced strength. In today’s match with Poland, the only goal was from the four groups of players Guan Yingying.
The ice hockey game is too intense, and the physical energy consumption of the players is very large. A team will be divided into several groups to rotate. Before that, most of the grouping rules of the Chinese team were that the strength of the first and second groups was relatively strong, while the strength of the third and fourth groups was relatively weak.
After Colie G Jacob came to the Chinese team, he quickly adjusted the grouping. “This is also one aspect of his success since he led the team. Now the strength of the four groups is relatively average, and each group has the chance to score. Today, our goal is the score of the fourth group of players. This was rarely the case before.” Zhang Mengying, vice captain of female ice, introduced that the national team was usually grouped according to strength. One group was responsible for scoring, the two groups were maintained as much as possible, and the three groups were guaranteed not to lose points, leaving physical recovery time for the first and second groups, “If only the first two groups, the physical consumption is really too large.”
At present, the national team members come from three clubs, and the training time is not long. Colie G Jacob’s requirement for the team is mainly defense, which is also supported by the players.
“What he has instilled most during this period is defense, focusing on good defense, and then attacking.” Zhang Mengying said that the team was concentrated late, and the running-in time was not very long. Only by doing a good defense can we wait for an attack.
In fact, for Chinese ice hockey, 65-year-old Colie G Jacob is no stranger. He has coached the Chinese men’s U20 ice hockey team before. It was also the coaching experience that made him recognized by China Ice Hockey Association. When talking about this topic after the game today, Colie G Jacob said that he could feel the progress of Chinese ice hockey in recent years. “China is a very potential ice hockey country with many excellent players. In fact, no matter with the men’s team or with the women’s team, they are all fighting for Chinese ice hockey.”
When asked about the goal of this world championship, Colie G Jacob said that he did not want to think too much about the result, “Our current job is to go step by step without considering the final result. We have finished every match, and finally we will see what kind of results we can get.”
