There is no doubt that this is the result of their solid accumulation in a long period of training, and it is also the embodiment of the team's heritage. The ability to quickly enter the best state of play as soon as an athlete is in the unfavorable conditions of a serious lack of actual combat is really not something that every team has. In fact, if you look at the surprising performance of some popular players in other associations at the Olympic Games, you can see that the competition is not only athletes, but also teams.
The young storm of the Chinese team in 2021 is not only reflected in the Olympic Games, but also in the Sudirman Cup and Tang You Cup, a large number of our young players continue to have the strength of youth. In fact, the appearance of a large number of young players in these competitions will surprise me, although the Chinese team never spares the opportunity to give young players a chance in the team competition, but from the perspective of ensuring results, basically the lineup is still dominated by large players, supplemented by young players, and it is rare for new recruits to account for a large proportion like this year.
Looking back now, such a choice is somewhat helpless, the retirement of some main players, injuries and injuries have made young players "lucky" to qualify, but the opportunity is always left to those who have choices, and young players have proved their ability to assume the responsibility of the team with actual performance. Looking at the new faces added to our world championship list this year, and looking back at the choice of these team lineups, it really feels like there is a plan in the dark.
Of course, blockbusters are not what we need, what the team needs is continuous output, that is, when the young players fade their youth and momentum, whether they can be armed with absolute strength and maturity. At the End of the World Championships, the overall performance of the young players was a certain decline compared to the Su Cup Tangyou Cup period, which is that the young players are not strong enough and not stable enough. Badminton is not a hammer trade, but a protracted battle throughout his career. The improvement of protracted combat capabilities is what this young team needs to pursue in 2022.
To put it simply, I don't want to see too many "surprises" in the new year, but I want to see them put a bunch of gold medals in front of them and then say "routine operations only" lightly!
