The 2022 WTT Macau Championship is about to kick off, and after arriving in Macau, the national table tennis team tennis team will enter the stage of adaptability training after a short rest. Judging from the scene of the venue, each player looked relaxed and smiling, without the slightest nervousness of the coming of the big game. Since the main force of the Macao National Table Tennis Championships is all out, it is no accident that the final quarterfinals, final four, semi-finals and finals will be evenly matched derby battles. From the perspective of preparation, everyone is a teammate who has been working together in the national team for many years, knows each other's roots, and there is not much work to prepare in terms of technology and tactics.
Many fans think that this Macau match is the peak showdown of several major players, but as everyone knows, in the case of various champions, everyone may be eliminated at any time. For the ownership of the three championship trophies of the Macao Championships, several coaches of the national table tennis also predicted with great interest. Although Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, did not personally lead the team, he still paid close attention to the performance of the players during the game. Especially the core players of the national table tennis Paris cycle, Liu Guoliang may review and guide them after each game.
For the gold medals in each individual event, Liu Guoliang has a fixed number in mind, in his view, young players can grow in a strong dialogue, more important than winning the championship. Men's team coach Qin Zhijian has been paying attention to the training of several main players in the stadium. He said in an interview that several veteran players such as Ma Long and Xu Xin no longer need the coach to personally supervise and accompany the training, and the preparation mode and training method of the game have long been familiar. And the veteran knows how to seize the opportunity to adapt to the venue, adjust his state to the most ideal stage, and talk about the situation of the Macau Championship.
Qin Zhijian said that the current strength of the men's team is in an upward period, and Fan Zhendong, who previously won the men's singles championship at the World Championships, has high morale and is also the biggest favorite to win the men's singles. Ma Long and Xu Xin have not participated in high-intensity international events for a long time, and whether they can find their status in the first leg of the season needs to be tested by the competition. In Qin Zhijian's view, this competition is an opportunity for Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin and others, in the context of Fan Zhendong's family, among several newcomers, who can become Fan Zhendong's best partner in the Paris cycle is the most concerned issue of the national table tennis coaching team.
Women's team coach Li Falcon also expressed his views on the women's singles championship, saying that Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng all have a chance to win the championship. The three of them almost won the heaviest titles last season, and the 2022 season debuted in Macau, and the opening red was crucial for them. In the Paris cycle, the national table tennis women's team is still a three-legged situation of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha. Li Falcon said bluntly, "I am very happy to see the women's team present a talent blowout situation, and reproduce the golden generation in which Zhang Yining and Wang Nan are located." The Macau Championship began on the 19th, can the prediction of the national table tennis coaching staff come true?
