Five members of the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team were also selected into Cai Jiajun's new women's volleyball national team. This is also the province with the most women's volleyball players selected this time. These five players will prepare to participate in the vnl league and the Paris Olympics. So what will be the Olympic prospects of these five people? Let’s take a closer look.
Currently, 16 of the 22-person national team roster have been confirmed to participate in the Beijing training camp. Obviously, these 16 people are the players who will participate in the World League. The following is the list of 16 people:
main attackers include Zhang Changning, Li Yingying, Wu Mengjie, Wang Yunxiang, Zhuang Yushan, and Wang Yizhu; assistant attackers include Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Gao Yi, and Wang Wenhan; supporting players are Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin; setter is Diao Linyu , Xu Xiaoting; the free agents are Ni Feifan and Wang Mengjie.
Regarding Diao Linyu and Gong Xiangyu, they were already Cai Bin's disciples when they were in Jiangsu and have a deep understanding of his tactical concepts. As the main setter and supporter of the women's volleyball team, they are the core players of the team, so there is no suspense about being selected for the national team.
As an outstanding new generation player, Wu Mengjie has fully demonstrated her strength and value through a series of competitions and last year's Asian Games and Olympic qualifying matches. As a core player in the next cycle, she will definitely be selected.
As a player of the younger generation, Ni Feifan was once the best libero in the World Youth Championship. He joined the national team during the Lang Ping era at a young age. After years of training, she has grown into an excellent free agent. However, the current main libero of the national team is Shandong's Wang Mengjie. Due to years of fighting, her back injury is relatively serious. In the Olympic Games, physical health is an important factor, so Ni Feifan should have a certain degree of competitiveness. It is even possible to become the 13th man, ready to serve as Wang Mengjie's substitute at any time.
The last thing I want to talk about is Zhang Changning. As a double champion of the Olympic Games and World Cup, she was once again selected for the national team training list after her comeback. For Zhang Changning, the most important thing is to recover and improve physical functions to meet the requirements of the game. There is no problem with her playing ability, technical and tactical level, experience, etc. Moreover, she has played against almost all important opponents in the international arena. Therefore, Zhang Changning is one of the most important veteran players under Cai's guidance. Her rich game experience is extremely important to the team. The author believes that Zhang Changning should be one of the important members participating in the Paris Olympics.
