The new Chinese women's volleyball team is about to be formed, and the selection of the manager is coming to an end. At present, many fans have cheered for their favorite coaches, and based on the situation at this stage, Cai Bin, Wang Baoquan and others are the most mentioned coaches, in addition to Shen Qiong, Chen Youquan, Shi Hairong have also been put on the table.
However, what puzzles the author is that there is a meritorious veteran coach who seems to have been forgotten by fans, and he is Xu Jiande. Xu Jiande can be said to be one of the heroes of the women's volleyball team to win the Rio Olympic Games, although he did not serve in the Chinese women's volleyball team, but during his tenure as the coach of the national youth women's volleyball team, the U23 women's volleyball team and the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team, he cultivated many outstanding talents for the first team, and the 4 main forces were turned into gold by him.
Fans should be most familiar with Zhu Ting. When Zhu Ting had not yet shown her talent, Xu Jiande praised her in an interview. At that time, Zhu Ting's height was only about 185cm, so Xu Jiande wanted to cultivate her into a Zhou Suhong-style receiver. After being selected for the national youth, Zhu Ting soared in size and showed her volleyball talent, and Xu Jiande changed her mind and made her a heavy gunner of the team.
In addition to Zhu Ting, Gong Xiangyu's reception is also Xu Jiande's masterpiece. Gong Xiangyu was originally a substitute for guoshao, and after entering the national youth women's volleyball team, he was changed by Xu Jiande to receive it. I remember that in the 15-year Swiss Women's Volleyball Elite Tournament and the 15-year President's Cup, Xu Jiandeli ranked the crowd and let Gong Xiangyu, who had just changed to play for a long time, start, and also passed with Wang Mengjie. Gong Xiangyu, who won the support of Xu Jiande, did not live up to the expectations of his mentor and became the premier recipient in China.
After Zhang Changning returned to indoor volleyball, it was Xu Jiande who recruited her into the second team, replacing Li Jing, the league scoring king at the time, the Zhejiang women's volleyball team. Zhang Changning's outstanding performance in the second team attracted Lang Ping's attention and then entered the first team of the Chinese women's volleyball team; Ding Xia and Yan Ni were recruited into the second team by Xu Jiande when they were recruited into the first team and were retired. Through the guidance of Xu Jiande, the two doubled back to the first team and became the main force.
In the new cycle, veterans such as Zhu Ting, Gong Xiangyu, Zhang Changning, and Ding Xia have a good chance to continue to be selected for the national team. Xu Jiande, as their mentor, also knows the roots of this wave of players, and the players also have a lot of respect for him, and there will be no situation where the players cannot be suppressed. Ni Feifan, Mao Junyi and other newcomers have also been selected for the national youth women's volleyball team coached by Xu Jiande, and it can be said that no one in China knows this wave of team members better than Xu Jiande.
In terms of the conditions for the selection of the women's volleyball team, the provision of "international vision" may be a major obstacle for other domestic managers, but it is a plus for Xu Jiande. As the manager of the second team of the women's volleyball team, he has led the team to participate in the game independently for many times. For example, the Asian Games, the Swiss Women's Volleyball Classic, the President's Cup and so on. Looking at the record, Xu Jiande led the national youth to win eight games without losing a game to win the World Youth Championship, and led the team to win the U23 World Championship championship and the Asian Games silver medal.
Therefore, as far as Xu Jiande's qualifications are concerned, it is completely enough to become the new manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The only question is whether the 65-year-old can withstand the high-pressure and intense training atmosphere. In addition, Xu Jiande is a selfless coach, and his employment and selection of people pay attention to strength, not relationship. Although he is 65 years old, Xu Jiande is still struggling in the volleyball frontline and is currently working as a coach in Shandong. The author believes that if the veteran coach is willing to come forward as the manager of the national team, it is still more convincing.
