In Chinese sports, badminton used to be a dream team just like table tennis. However, there has been a big gap in the development of the two projects in recent years. As China's national sport, table tennis still stands at the highest peak in the world, and it is still the dream team that makes the Chinese feel proud and proud. But badminton, especially the men's team, has long since fallen to the top of the world, and is no longer the cosmic team that won all the hardware in the London Olympics.
Not long ago, in the Tangyou Cup , which is very important in the badminton world, the performance of Guoyu , especially the men's team, can be said to make the fans sigh. It was under such circumstances that Zhang Jun , the leader of the Badminton Association, and Chen Yu, , the men's singles coach, also managed to make themselves hot search figures at that stage. Jun is even called by some fans that he is the fat man who doesn't understand the ball. After all, as a former world-class team, the current situation of Guoyu really disappointed the fans. Fans' doubts about Guoyu mainly focus on the men's team's backward style of play, and why the IELTS combination was dismantled in the first place.
Recently, Zhang Jun, who has become a hot searched person, confessed for the first time that he faced these doubts in the live broadcast connection. In the live broadcast connection, Zhang Jun, who is currently in the training base in Chiang Mai, Thailand, first talked about the issue of the dismantling of the IELTS combination. Zhang Jun first fully affirmed the strength of Fanchen combination and IELTS combination, and then said that Guoyu's coaching staff has actually been helping to improve the shortcomings in order to maintain sufficient competitiveness. The reason why the IELTS combination was dismantled at that time was also because of this reason.
Zhang Jun said: "Chen Qingchen/Jia YifanAlthough they missed the gold medal in the final of the Tokyo Olympics, their strength is still there. Of course, the problem of Chen Qingchen's serve and the strength of the offense, the coaching staff has already done it. I found their problems and are still helping them to improve.”
In fact, Guoyu’s mixed doubles partner “IELTS Combination” did encounter a bottleneck last year and performed poorly. Disappointed at the competition. Therefore, in the eyes of the coaching staff, this pair really needs new strength to activate it. Therefore, the IELTS combination was disassembled at the beginning of the year and matched with newcomers respectively. And now, this pair has also regained its original self. In the Thailand competition not long ago, Lectra defeated the Desha combination and won the championship.
Next, Zhang Jun supported the national team coach Xia Xuanze , saying that he also hoped that the fans could fully trust Coach Xia's ability. However, after saying this, Zhang Jun also directly said a word. Once this sentence is said, it means that the national badminton men's team may indeed change. Zhang Jun said: " Guoyu plans to invite an old meritorious coach to take the pulse of the men's singles ." And the style of play is behind. Obviously, this has a lot to do with the men's singles coach Chen Yu. This is why after Tang Cup was eliminated, Chen Yu's resignation became a hot topic. What made Chen Yu feel embarrassed was that in the subsequent Thailand match, the men's singles seemed to have undergone some major changes, whether it was Zhao Junpeng or Li Shifeng , there were obvious changes. Especially Li Shifeng, who made it to the final. However, at that time, it was not Chen Yu who was instructing from the sidelines, but Qiao Bin.
Now, what Zhang Jun said means that he really has doubts about Chen Yu's coaching of men's singles. However, Lin Dan , who had been very popular before, basically has no possibility of entering Guoyu because of Zhang Jun's words. After all, Lin Dan has just retired a few years ago. It does not meet Zhang Jun's requirements. Of course, Lin Dan himself does not have much interest in serving as Guoyu's coach. But no matter what, in the face of Guoyu's current backward situation, Zhang Jun has already started to act.
