Recently, the national table tennis straight-pat famous Zheng Peifeng officially announced the transformation into a coach, many fans while happy for him, but also feel some regret: happy that Zheng Peifeng can quickly complete the transformation of the role, find a new direction in life, it is indeed gratifying; regret is that Zheng Peifeng announced his retirement at the age of 25, it is a little too early!
I have to say that the competition of the Chinese table tennis team is indeed fierce, and if it cannot achieve good results when you are young, it is difficult to achieve further development, and it is not easy to constantly endure the torture of injuries!
Born in March 1996, Zheng Peifeng is a relatively outstanding athlete among Chinese straight-pat players in recent years, once defeated world champion Ochalov in the International Open, faced European champion Freitas when injured and still did not quit, Lectra opponents for the glory of the country, so many people also affectionately call him the "tough guy" of national table tennis.
However, with the increase of age and the accumulation of injuries, Zheng Peifeng's state has been difficult to improve, coupled with the International Table Tennis Federation after the implementation of a number of reforms of the straight beat method is indeed difficult to achieve good results, the strongest Xu Xin has never been selected for the Olympic singles, broke into the men's singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships, Zheng Peifeng, who is much worse than Xu Xin, is naturally more difficult to emerge.
On October 11, 2021, Zheng Peifeng officially announced his retirement, ending his 13-year journey to play for the national table tennis, and he was only 25 years old at that time, and he did not even reach the age of the "veteran" that everyone defaulted to, so this news also made fans feel very sudden and regretful.
Through the dynamics of Zheng Peifeng in the months after that, we can see that he finally ushered in a rare leisure time and relaxed himself well. On January 10, 2022, Zheng Peifeng released a video and text again, and everyone finally knew the news that he had transformed into coaching.
In the past six months, more than a dozen athletes in the national table tennis have announced their departure from the national team, but many of them have "retired from the team and not retired", and still stated that they will compete in the battlefield of the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, but Zheng Peifeng has obviously decided to completely take off his shirt like Ding Ning, but the difference is that he has changed to a hand coaching whip: there is one less direct shooter in the table tennis arena.
Under Zheng Peifeng's dynamics, the national table tennis sharpshooter Matt left a message to interact with it - not long ago, Matt also announced his departure from the national team, but it is also "retired from the team and not retired". And no matter what kind of life choices the national table tennis athletes make, we must bless these heroes who have won glory for the country, and hope that their future road can be better and better: come on!
