Recently, Li Yingying posted a set of photos of herself climbing and wrote a text to express her feelings. 24-year-old Li Yingying did encounter two choices in her career: first, stay in China to play in the league and the National Games for the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team; second, go abroad to play and open up a new chapter in her career. Even Duan Fang and Jin Ye were able to find clubs to sign and play abroad. Li Yingying has been trapped in China. Is this normal?
Domestic competitions have no training value for Li Yingying. Will Tianjin follow Jiangsu’s example and boldly use newcomers?
As you can see, with Li Yingying's level, her playing in domestic leagues and National Games actually does not help her improvement much. We don't see strong jumps like Vargas and Egonu, or high-level blocking in international competitions in domestic competitions. Zhu Ting was able to start her overseas journey after winning the Rio Olympics, and eventually became the world's number one attacker, because she went to play abroad.
If she has been trapped in the Henan team, then Zhu Ting's career development can only be regarded as an excellent main attacker, and she will not develop into an international superstar. At this stage, the same is true for Li Yingying. After two cycles of training with the national team in Tokyo and Paris, Li Yingying has become a very comprehensive attacker. If she wants to play abroad, she will not lack invitations. However, the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has a problem with its personnel thinking: to protect the championship or to train new players, Tianjin chose the former. If the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team lacks Li Yingying, the league championship and the National Games championship will most likely miss out.
But Li Yingying has been tied up in the country. Li Yingying’s heart is just like what she posted, she doesn’t know where to go? Also as a teammate of Tianjin, Wang Yuanyuan made it clear that she is very willing to go abroad and show herself in a high-level league. The Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team has always used an "all-China class" lineup in the league. Although it is difficult to win the league championship, their newcomers have grown. The Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team also has young players such as Liu Meijun, Chen Boya, and Wang Yizhu. While Li Yingying is tied to the country in order to protect the championship, the newcomers of the Tianjin team cannot actually grow. Many fans also question Cai Bin 's lineup to fight to the end, but isn't this the same strategy that Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team uses in order to protect the championship?
The peak period of a player is short, and Li Yingying has many injuries. Tianjin should respect her personal choice.
As the core figure of Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team, Li Yingying is sure that she will not take the initiative to go abroad to play. Her departure will have a very important impact on the performance of Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team. But for athletes, the peak period is too short. Zhu Ting's current decline has exceeded many people's imagination. Zhu Ting previously stated that she would play in at least three Olympic Games. Judging from her performance in Paris, her offensive ability is not as good as before. Li Yingying also suffers from various physical injuries. We cannot wait until she can no longer jump or play before letting her go abroad to play.
For Tianjin, what can one more league championship do? In this regard, Jiangsu is indeed more courageous. Furthermore, Li Yingying playing abroad is more helpful for maintaining her condition and improving her level. Isn't it a blessing for the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team and the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team that Li Yingying has become stronger? Li Yingying posted an article saying that she was confused, but she was actually struggling with her career choice. I hope the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has this courage and respects Li Yingying's personal thoughts.Do you think Li Yingying should go abroad to play ball?
