The Chinese Volleyball Association announced the latest training roster. Amid the expectations of the fans, Zhu Ting unfortunately failed to be selected again, and veteran Zhang Changning returned smoothly. Overall, this training list is basically expected, and there are basically not many surprises. Next, let’s do a brief analysis.
Main attacker: Li Yingying, Zhang Changning, Wang Yunxiang, Wang Yizhu, Wu Mengjie, Zhuang Yushan
Secondary attacker: Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Gao Yi, Wang Wenhan, Yang Hanyu, Zeng Jieya
Second passer: Diao Linyu, Xu Xiaoting, Ding Xia
Support: Gong Xiangyu, Zheng Yixin, Duan Mengke
Free agents: Wang Mengjie, Ni Feifan, Xu Jianan
Zhu Ting's defeat was basically expected. Although many fans hope that she can return, the reality is cruel. Since the Tokyo Olympics ended and Director Lang left office, Zhu Ting has not returned to the Chinese women's volleyball team. First, he recuperated from his injuries, and then went abroad to fight. Whether it was on the training list or the main roster for the competition, Zhu Ting's name was never there. After being away from the national team for so long, Zhu Ting and other teammates have not yet had any running-in, so the tacit understanding is a big problem. Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu and others are all old teammates, so there is no big problem in coordination. However, now the setter is replaced by Diao Linyu, which requires competition to find out the feeling. There is still some time before the start of the Olympic Games. Although Zhu Ting was not selected for the training list, she still cannot completely rule out the possibility of returning. If he can come back, it will definitely help the team, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Zhang Changning’s return is also expected. Why do you say this? The reason is very simple, that is, Zhang Changning has already returned to participate in the Volleyball Super League competition. Although I didn't play much, this choice was obviously made in preparation for returning to the Chinese women's volleyball team. To be honest, Zhang Changning's return is a good thing, but she is not the life-saving straw of the Chinese women's volleyball team. After not competing or training for a long time, Zhang Changning's road to return is very difficult, and it does not happen overnight. And the most important thing is that as Zhang Changning gets older, especially after a serious injury, her competitive state and physical condition have declined significantly. In this return, Zhang Changning is more like the spiritual leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team, playing more of a role in helping young players grow up faster. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, and it may be able to act as a calming needle at critical moments.
There are many people on the training list, but there is basically not much suspense in the final list. The main force is still the Seven Fairies. Although Wang Yunxiang has always been controversial, his position is still relatively stable. He has won Cai Bin's trust and has basically secured his position as the second or third main attacker. In the secondary attack position, Gao Yi's chances are relatively high, and he has basically secured his position as the third secondary attacker. The most suspenseful thing should be the role of substitute setter. Should we choose the veteran Ding Xia or the younger Xu Xiaoting?
The two most critical players of this team are Li Yingying and Gong Xiangyu. The offensive status of these two basically determines the prospects of the women's volleyball team. At present, Li Yingying is relatively stable, but she is also the key to opponents. Gong Xiangyu now has a heavy task on the offensive end and his performance is not stable enough. If both people can fully open up, then the Chinese women's volleyball team will basically blossom more and the game will go smoothly. If Li Yingying only had a little bit of attack, this game would be very uncomfortable.
Before the Olympic Games begins, there may still be variables in the list. There is a possibility of Zhu Ting coming back, but it will only become smaller and smaller as time goes by.
