At present, the Chinese table tennis team is preparing to assemble at the Olympic Sports Center in Wenzhou, and they must wholeheartedly prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, USA in November this year. The Table Tennis Association announced the big list of participants in the training team a few days ago, and this list attracted the attention of many netizens for a while.
One of the focal points of attention by netizens is the issue of the head coach of Chinese women's table tennis, because on the one hand, it has been reported that Li Falcon has been hospitalized for treatment for heart problems, on the other hand, this meritorious coach has indeed bowed down for the national team and silently dedicated too much of his efforts and energy. Therefore, before this training, there were media predictions that Li Falcon may leave the position of national team coach before the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, and now he still appears in the list of coaching staff of the training team, which can only be said that Liu Guoliang and the Chinese Table Tennis Association are attached to him and refuse to easily let this old coach go to enjoy Qingfu!
However, after the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Li Falcon may really step down as the head coach of Chinese women's table tennis, so the question of his successor has always been a topic of debate among netizens. Some people suggested that Deng Yaping, the great demon king of the first generation of women's table tennis, take over, but Deng Yaping directly denied that she would sit in this position. So someone remembered Li Falcon's predecessor Kong Linghui, but Kong Linghui expressed his refusal with silent silence. Under such an environment, the Plan of the Chinese Table Tennis Association to invite world-class masters from the outside may be frustrated, and the remaining means are only to dig deep into the potential from the inside.
Who can be dug up inside?
Looking at the entire national team coaching staff, at present, it seems that these people can be competent: Ma Lin, Liu Guozheng, Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan is low-key, although he has the world table tennis experience of domineeringly guiding Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu to defeat the Japanese women's doubles Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina, but from the current seniority and personality characteristics, he does not seem to be in line with the position of "head coach". The only ones left are Marlene and Liu Guozheng, who is more suitable to take over the position of women's table tennis head coach?
Ma Lin, Chinese table tennis Olympic champion, world champion. Once had the reputation of Mr. "World Cup". After engaging in coaching work, he successively served as the head coach of the provincial table tennis team in Guangdong Province, and then transferred to the national team to coach the men's team yu Ziyang and other young newcomers, and after returning to the national team again, coached Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng and other key Olympic players.
During this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, Ma Lin served as the head of the mixed doubles coaching team of the national table tennis team, guiding Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen to win the silver medal in the mixed doubles of the Tokyo Olympic Games. His disciple Chen Meng performed well, winning the women's singles and women's team championships at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
On February 25, 2019, Ma Lin was appointed by the Chinese Table Tennis Association as the leader of the women's table tennis coaching team, and assisted Li Falcon in major competitions such as the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, the Asian Cup, and the Asian Championships of the national team, and completed the task of guiding the team members to win and win the gold medal.
Liu Guozheng is the Chinese Table Tennis World Champion. He once saved several match points at the World Table Tennis Championships, beating the Korean team and helping the Chinese men's team reach the final. Liu Guozheng was thus famous in the world, and was also shouted out by the people at that time the slogan of "marrying Liu Guozheng".
Liu Guozheng remained in the national team to work as a coach after retiring, he successively became the head coach of the national second team through competition. In 2018, he was appointed to lead the Chinese men's table tennis to participate in the team World Cup and the Halmsta World Table Tennis Championships, helping the Chinese men's table tennis to win the championship and achieve the goal of "nine consecutive championships" of national table tennis.
On February 25, 2019, Liu Guozheng was officially appointed as the head of the Chinese men's table tennis coaching team in the list of the national team coaching team officially announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association. Wang Chuqin, who was in charge of him, became a P card player at this year's Tokyo Olympic Games and went to Japan with the team to get an intuitive Olympic feeling.
By comparing the experiences of two excellent coaches, it is difficult to judge which of the two people is better? Ma Lin is active and resourceful; Liu Guozheng is bright and down-to-earth. It's really a moment of light, it's hard to distinguish between high and low!
It seems that Liu Guoliang has increased the trouble of happiness, and this trouble can only be given the most reasonable answer by him and the table tennis association he leads!
