On January 10, 2022, Beijing time, the latest news came from the selection of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the Chinese Volleyball Association announced the establishment of a leading group and expert group to open the selection of the manager to the public. It is worth mentioning that Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe, Lai Yawen and other women's volleyball heroes are involved, which also means that the possibility of Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe returning to the head coaching position is minimal.
After the Olympic Games, Lang Ping announced his departure on September 1, 2021, during which time, the selection of the Chinese women's volleyball team has been quiet. With the end of the National Women's Volleyball Championship and the Women's Volleyball Super League, the women's volleyball work in the 2021 season has all ended. Many fans said that the new coach has not yet been released, it is indeed a pity, because there are many hope stars in the league, if the new coach is in place, you can examine the young players for the first time.
In addition, the Paris Olympic cycle is only three years, the Chinese women's volleyball team next facing the Asian Games, the World Championships, the World Cup, the Olympic Games and a series of international competitions, the time is quite urgent, considering that our main opponents have basically determined the manager candidate, the Chinese women's volleyball team's coach selection work is indeed lagging behind. Just 4 months after Lang Ping left office, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally came with new news.
First of all, the selection of the coach is open to the public. The second is the establishment of a leading group and an expert group, the deputy leaders of these two groups include Lai Yawen, and in the column of expert group members, Lang Ping's name appears, including Chen Zhonghe, Shen Fulin, and Zhang Xin. As we all know, Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe, Lai Yawen are all meritorious figures of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Shen Fulin is also a famous resident in the domestic volleyball arena, and previously served as the temporary head coach of the Chinese men's volleyball team.
However, with Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe entering the coach selection expert group, the possibility of these two championship coaches returning to the head coaching position is very small, and they may participate in the construction of the women's volleyball team as consultants in the future. There is also a key point, for candidates, the official clearly proposed to understand the development situation of the women's volleyball arena, be familiar with the situation of domestic athletes, and have a wealth of training methods and means. Coupled with these conditions, the possibility of the Chinese women's volleyball team choosing foreign teachers is almost zero.
Candidates need to submit their applications before January 15, 2022, that is, the new coach may be released before the Spring Festival, and immediately after the Spring Festival, the training camp will begin and enter the preparation work of the new cycle. Looking at the local coach, An Jiajie has been learning from Lang Ping and has the opportunity to serve as the head coach, but there is also news that An Jiajie may return to the Shandong women's volleyball team. In addition, Wang Baoquan and Cai Bin, who have achieved good results in the league, may also have a chance, first of all, to see whether these coaches participate in the campaign work, and then the opinion of the expert group.
People's Daily said that the Chinese women's volleyball team has a special status, no matter who serves as the head coach, it will bear a lot of pressure, in the past, Chen Zhonghe and Lang Ping, there were fluctuations in the results of the team in the early stages, but in the end they all led the Chinese women's volleyball team on the right track. Therefore, for the new national team, we should hold a normal heart, focus on long-term development, and give the head coach enough time and space to play his ability and level!
