[New Tang Dynasty Beijing time August 25, 2021]The Chinese women’s volleyball team returned from a disastrous defeat at the Tokyo Olympics, and recently announced its withdrawal from the Asian Championships held in the Philippines at the end of August. According to public opinion analysis, there are many reasons for the Chinese women’s volleyball team to retreat, but the coach is undecided, and the player’s replacement may be the main reason.
The Women’s Volleyball Asian Championships will be held in the Philippines from August 29 to September 4. “Beijing Daily” reported on August 24 that the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team confirmed not to participate in this year’s Asian Championships.
The current Asian Championships were originally scheduled to be held in Jiangmen, Guangdong on October 1. Due to the outbreak of the epidemic in Guangdong, the competition was changed to be held in the Philippines, and the competition time was also advanced to August 29.
In the past, the Chinese women’s volleyball team usually participated in the Asian Championships to gain experience in training. However, this year’s women’s volleyball team decided to abandon this event. There are many reasons behind it, including the match date too close to the Tokyo Olympics, the impact of the epidemic, and the lack of attractiveness of the event.
According to the report, the current world ranking of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team can qualify for the World Championships, and there is no need to win the World Championship tickets by fighting for the top two Asian Championships.
In addition, after the Tokyo Olympics, the coach and players of the Chinese women’s volleyball team will usher in a big change. The volleyball needs a smooth transition, which is also the main reason for the women’s volleyball team to retreat.
At the end of July, the Chinese women’s volleyball team lost three consecutive games at the Tokyo Olympics and missed the quarterfinals. In the early morning of August 1, when the Chinese women’s volleyball coach Lang Ping was interviewed by state media at the venue, he choked with tears. She said that she did not play well, and she did not expect to be out so early, for which she was mainly responsible.
Lang Ping said that he is too tired and should rest.
On the afternoon of August 2, the Chinese women’s volleyball team defeated the Argentine women’s volleyball team, ending the Tokyo Olympics tour. After the game, Lang Ping once again mentioned that he wanted to “no longer coach” in an interview with reporters from the front of the Xinhua News Agency Tokyo Olympic Reporting Group.
She also said that the new coaches should be recommended by the Volleyball Management Center.
Although Lang Ping has repeatedly confirmed that he will no longer coach the Chinese women’s volleyball team after the Tokyo Olympics, so far, the new coach of the women’s volleyball team has not yet been finalized.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese women’s volleyball players will also have a “blood change”. Yan Ni, Liu Xiaotong and other veteran players will fade out of the game, and newcomers will join. The recovery of women’s volleyball leader Zhu Ting’s wrist injury has brought uncertainties to the women’s volleyball team.
In addition, the Chinese women’s volleyball team returned to China on August 4 and entered the quarantine period after the early exit of the Tokyo Olympics group stage. Due to the disastrous defeat, the women’s volleyball team is very low-key. Compared with other players’ live sharing on the Internet, the women’s volleyball players have no voice.
