The news of the international volleyball scene continues, and the Italian reporter Pacini revealed a bad news that the Chinese Volleyball Association has applied to the International Volleyball Federation in advance not to hold this year's World Women's Volleyball League Finals. Prior to this, there was news that the World League Finals were basically settled in China.
Last year, the World Women's Volleyball League was originally planned to be held in China, but due to the epidemic, it was changed to Italy. As the best training opportunity before the Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team went to Italy in two batches to compete. Helplessly, it was more difficult to participate in the competition during the epidemic, and the Chinese women's volleyball team not only did not reach the top four, but also had to isolate for a period of time to train normally after returning, which affected the preparation for the Olympic Games to a certain extent.
This time, the Italian reporter exposed that the Chinese women's volleyball team gave up hosting the World League, mainly because the Chinese Volleyball Association did not want to add unnecessary trouble. As can be seen from the Volleyball Super League, even if other events have been open to spectators, the Women's Volleyball League is still closed. The World Women's Volleyball League has up to 16 teams, and the athletes plus the team staff are close to 1,000 people, which is a test for the epidemic prevention work of the competition site.
Since the Chinese Volleyball Association has no intention of holding the finals, it is undoubtedly bad news for the Chinese women's volleyball team. Because the time of the Paris cycle is very short, the new head coach has not yet been in place, if you can't participate in the World League to train the new national team lineup, then what will the Chinese women's volleyball team compete for the Asian Games and the World Championships. What's more, the national team definitely needs to select a group of new people to participate in the training, and the World Women's Volleyball League is the best training opportunity.
Now if the finals are not held in China, once the sub-station competition is not played well, the Chinese women's volleyball team will not be able to participate in the finals. Missing the identity of the host for two consecutive times is indeed not conducive to the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Holding the finals is not without benefits, the Hangzhou Asian Games will be held in the second half of the year, if the volleyball stadium hall as the venue of the World Women's Volleyball League, not only can the venue be inspected before the game, the Chinese women's volleyball players do not have to travel a long distance to participate in foreign competitions, increasing the risk of infection. To know that the exercise significance of the finals is far greater than the sub-station competition, the original Chinese women's volleyball team lacked practical training, and now the opportunities have become less.
Although the Olympics just ended last year, this year's competition task is not easy. The Asian Games and the World Championships are the two major competitions of the Chinese women's volleyball team to strive for the championship, even if the World Championships do not win the championship, the Asian Games must also achieve the defense of the title. Since the defeat of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team urgently needs a major championship to stabilize the military spirit, so that the new golden generation will not end the glorious period prematurely. Although it is hoped that the Italian reporter will expose false news, but considering the situation last year, the Chinese women's volleyball team basically decided not to hold the World League Finals.
