Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation announced that the 2022 World Table Tennis Team Championships will be held in Chengdu from April 17 to 26, 2022. Three months later, another top competition in table tennis struck. The time of the game is set, everyone is naturally concerned about the national table tennis lineup, Liu Guoliang continues to exercise young people? Or do you give veterans a chance? In terms of comprehensive analysis, veterans such as Ma Long, Xu Xin, and Liu Shiwen have the opportunity to participate.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the determination of the national table tennis to train young people is very large, which has led to the decision to send young teams to participate in the single World Table Tennis Championships, and Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen are collectively absent from the single World Table Tennis Championships. Judging from the results, the national table tennis still has obvious advantages, but the young players have indeed encountered many challenges. The upcoming team world table tennis championships, if you consider the continued competitiveness of the national table tennis in the future, may still be dominated by young players, but the team competition is different from the individual event, these three reasons can not be ignored.
First of all, the team world table tennis championship is held in China, and the national table tennis should consider the feelings of the fans, and if they continue to give up the veteran, it may make the fans less satisfied. If there is no accident, the team World Table Tennis Championships will be open to the audience, considering the box office and market influence, the national table tennis can not easily give up Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu Guoliang.
Secondly, since it is held in China, the national table tennis must go all out to win the championship, although the home battle is the driving force, but the pressure is also very large, in this case, the need for veterans to press the team. In fact, the Olympic team competition is very valuable, especially the men's team, Fan Zhendong has encountered some challenges, but Ma Long and Xu Xin support him behind his back, which is very important. Today's Chinese men's table tennis still needs veterans to play the role of passing and helping, even if the veterans sit on the sidelines to watch, it will make young players more confident. To put it simply, national table tennis can bring veterans, but the protagonist of the competition becomes a young man, which is also a form of alternating between the old and the new.
Third, Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen made it clear that they would not retire and had resumed training, and after missing the individual World Table Tennis Championships, if they were not allowed to participate in the team World Table Tennis Championships, it would dampen their enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Of course, in the end, whether you can participate depends on the physical state and the state of competition, the upcoming Macau Star Competition is particularly important, if these veterans can achieve good results, there is no reason not to use them.
Combining the above three factors, the men's team's Ma Long and Xu Xin are extremely likely to compete in the team World Table Tennis Championships, and the women's team's Liu Shiwen will look at her physical state and competitive state, after all, the women's team competition is very fierce, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu are the absolute main force, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong is not willing to show weakness, and there are some variables in whether Liu Shiwen can get a team competition place.
In any case, the persistence of the veterans is worthy of recognition, just like Liu Shiwen said before, she will not give up easily, but in this process, she will help the young players grow and do their best in the process of replacing the old and the new!
