In the past two days, the volleyball association is in the process of selecting a head coach. After the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally has to select a new helmsman and start again.
There are two pieces of information that come as a surprise. First, An Jiajie served as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team. This has been recognized by the Shandong Provincial Volleyball Sports Management Center. Second, Lang Ping served as a member of the "Leading Group for Selection and Recruitment Work and The Expert Group". Everyone believes that since Lang Dao is a member of the expert group, it is impossible to compete for the head coach. Chen Zhonghe, the former head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, is also a member of the expert group, and he is unlikely to compete for the head coach. Lai Yawen was the deputy leader of the expert group and became the leader of Lang Dao. She's also not going to compete for a head coach.
In addition, he has previously served as the head coach of the Shenzhen Zhongsai women's volleyball team, and Bao Zhuang, who has played in the Volleyball Super League, will not compete for the head coach. Several people related to Lang Dao did not participate in this head coach campaign.
Seeing that An Jiajie served as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team, it was quite unexpected.
An Jiajie has been Lang Ping's assistant coach since April 2014 and was an executive coach for a while in 2017. Together with Bao Zhuang, he became Lang Dao's right and left arm and assisted Lang Dao. They are also popular candidates for Lang Dao's successor. Unfortunately, they followed Lang Dao for seven or eight years, and they did not get the results of their hands, nor did they get everyone's approval. Therefore, the majority of netizens are not optimistic that the two can take over the lang guide.
Unexpectedly, before waiting for the day of the competition, the two found a club to coach, and naturally automatically withdrew from the national team coaching campaign. This is somewhat surprising. An Jiajie assisted Lang Dao for seven or eight years and was the assistant teacher who followed Lang Dao most closely. Whether Lang leads the team to train, or participate in the game, or go to various places to select players and observe the performance of the team members in the league, An Jiajie follows him and assists wholeheartedly. An Jiajie has hard work for the Chinese women's volleyball team, even if there is no credit. He is also seen as a strong contender for Lang's successor.
Just did not expect that the head coach competition work really began, An Jiajie took the lead step to become the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team. It may be that the Volleyball Association and An Jiajie communicated early, or it may be that An Jiajie had self-awareness and voluntarily gave up the campaign. Announcing an Election of An Jiajie as the head coach of the Shandong Women's Volleyball Team before the national team head coach campaign can also be regarded as saving face for him. If after the national team head coach is selected, everyone knows that An Jiajie was elected as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team, giving people the feeling that An Jiajie did not run for the national team head coach and retreated to the meaning of serving as the head coach of the Shandong team.
In fact, An Jiajie's role as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team is not a good thing. An Jiajie's voice in the hearts of the majority of fans is not high, and his ability has not been recognized by everyone. If you force yourself to serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, if it is a little uncomfortable, you will be criticized one-sidedly. Why would he have to be the head coach of the national team?
He has now become the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team, which is a good thing.
An Jiajie was originally from Shandong, a member of the former Shandong men's volleyball team, and was selected for the national team. He has not only served as an assistant coach of the national team, but also served as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team. He is still very prestigious in the Shandong women's volleyball team. If he can lead the Shandong women's volleyball team to achieve good results, he can also gain a good reputation. He is only less than 50 years old, and after a few years of tempering in the league and leading the team to achieve good results, the voice of the people will be much higher. If he still wanted to run for national team coach at that time, it would be easier and easier to lead the team to achieve good results.
There is also an advantage in the Shandong women's volleyball team, that is, it can save some doubts. During Lang Dao's tenure as the head coach of the national team, several members of the Shandong women's volleyball team were selected for the national team. It's just that most of these players have not established themselves in the national team. In addition to Wang Mengjie, who was a little more stable, he became one of the "Seven Fairies" of the national team. However, last year, Wang Mengjie was also questioned, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet, and even suffered from Internet violence. Yang Hanyu participated in the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup, but there were few games.
Many fans believe that these Shandong players went through an anjiajie's back door to be selected for the national team, otherwise they would not have entered the national team. In particular, the Shandong team is difficult to achieve good results in domestic competitions, which is more like a confirmation of this.
An Jiajie took the Shandong team a little better and achieved good results in domestic competitions, which can also break those rumors. Whether it is for the Shandong women's volleyball team, or for the Shandong women's volleyball team, as well as himself, it is good.
Therefore, I think that An Jiajie's return to Shandong women's volleyball team as the head coach is a good thing for him.
