Recently, the media issued invitations to some of the main players of the Chinese women's volleyball national team to write a letter to themselves in 2021, similar to a summary. Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia, Li Yingying, Liu Yanhan, and Wang Yuanyuan were all invited and talked about their psychological feelings.
Wang Mengjie, the main free agent of the Chinese women's volleyball team, was also invited.
As one of the original "seven fairies" of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Wang Mengjie was once treated like other teammates by the stars. But in 2021, somehow, Wang Mengjie's state is a bit sluggish. There was a sudden flood of skepticism on the Internet, and there was no shortage of fierce criticism. Wang Mengjie naturally knew this, and her heart was naturally very uncomfortable. But she never revealed it, but silently endured this pain. In particular, the national team defeated Dongying, Wang Mengjie's criticism reached its peak, and there was no shortage of various online violence.
Wang Mengjie took the letter paper and slowly read: "Mengjie in 2021, hello!" In fact, it is rare to use such a way to speak to yourself. It's okay to say to yourself, you can, calm down and start over. ”
Then Wang Mengjie said with a somewhat heavy heart: "You must have taken on a lot of pressure this year." The pressure of the Olympics, and the sudden variety of voices on the Internet. It must be a big blow and test for you. Especially during the World Women's Volleyball League and the Olympic Games, after returning to the room every day, I cheered myself up in the mirror. The encouragement of my teammates and coaches around me still gave me great support. I would like to say thank you to you here. The experience of the Olympic Games has made you grow a lot at once, but please don't give up on yourself, go with the flow, or start again for your dreams. Go and be the little cute guy on the field who is bouncing and emotionally aroused. ”
Wang Mengjie reviewed her experience in 2021 with more than two hundred words. 2021 is really a bad year for Wang Mengjie. During the 2021 World Women's Volleyball League, six main players of the Chinese women's volleyball team did not participate in the first three weeks, and only two main players participated in the first three weeks of the competition, namely Wang Mengjie and Zhang Changning. The Chinese women's volleyball team had poor results in the first three weeks, losing to the Japanese women's volleyball team, the Canadian women's volleyball team, the Turkish women's volleyball team, the Belgian women's volleyball team, and the Serbian women's volleyball team. Five of the nine games have been lost, and the Chinese women's volleyball team rarely has such a bad result. In particular, the loss to a Team Canada, which has never been lost, (that Canadian team can only be regarded as an amateur team) is difficult for the majority of fans to accept.
Among the two main forces, Zhang Changning scored high scores many times. Her abilities were recognized. Wang Mengjie has been criticized. At that time, it was also very strange that Wang Mengjie, who had performed very steadily in the past, did not play well in this World League, the defensive loopholes were relatively large, and the starting effect was not good. Some netizens believe that Wang Mengjie has the behavior of giving up the ball during the game, and when she sees the ball coming, she does not dare to pick it up, but "hides" and lets her teammates pick it up. Netizens therefore gave Wang Mengjie a nickname: Wang Hide.
Before the Chinese team went to the Tokyo Olympics, many netizens were firmly opposed to Wang Mengjie's entry into the Olympic list. When Wang Mengjie finally entered the Olympic list of the Chinese team, there were many malicious comments on the Internet. Some people asked Wang Mengjie not to harm the Chinese women's volleyball team, be self-conscious, and take the initiative to leave the national team. There are also many ugly words, which are really uncomfortable to watch, not to mention Wang Mengjie.
I don't know if Wang Mengjie usually looks at network information. If she occasionally browses the information that scolds her, how can she not feel uncomfortable in her heart, and how can it not affect her play?
The Chinese women's volleyball team performed poorly at the Tokyo Olympics and achieved the worst results in the Olympic Games. Many members of the national team have been criticized, and Wang Mengjie is the first to bear the brunt. Even after a few months, there was still a lot of criticism of her on the Internet. During the Super League, netizens found that Wang Mengjie had a plastic surgery and had double eyelids. Some people criticize Wang Mengjie on the Internet, not to put their minds on playing, but to put on their appearance, how can they play well?
From the World Women's Volleyball League in May last year, until now, the questioning and criticism of Wang Mengjie on the Internet has not stopped. It is nothing more than thinking that Wang Mengjie's ability is not good, he should not enter the national team, and he should not become the main force of the team.
So should Wang Mengjie enter the national team?
Wang Mengjie gave the answer. As Wang Mengjie said in the letter, when she was "hit", teammates and coaches gave her support. Teammates and coaches trust her, which shows that Wang Mengjie has been recognized by them.
Lang Dao believed in her ability. Wang Mengjie replaced Lin Li, who was not in good shape, at the 2018 World Championships and became the main force of the team. Since that game, Wang Mengjie has stood firm in the main position of the national team. In 2019, Wang Mengjie won the World Cup championship with the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Wang Mengjie was named the best free person. Wang Mengjie reached the peak of her playing career. At this time, no one doubted Wang Mengjie, but a wave of praise.
In fact, as early as 2016, Wang Mengjie was appreciated by Lang Dao. When determining the roster of the Chinese women's volleyball national team for the Rio Olympic Games, Lang Dao was a little hesitant in the position of free man, whether to choose Lin Li or Wang Mengjie. It can be seen that Wang Mengjie at that time had already been recognized by Lang Dao. I believe that Lang Dao's recognition of Wang Mengjie is mainly based on her ability, not other aspects. As for 2021, Wang Mengjie's state has indeed declined. But it wasn't just Wang Mengjie, all members of the national team had declined in status. Why do you have to stare at Wang Mengjie?
Then there is the inability to find a suitable replacement. At that time, the call for Lin Li to participate in the Tokyo Olympics was very loud. But Lin Li, who is older and has been playing national team games for a long time, cannot be compared with before. Last year's World League, Lin Li played a few games and did not perform well. How does director Lang have the confidence to let Lin Li participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games?
There are also people who hope that Ni Feifan can replace Wang Mengjie. Wang Mengjie had a good performance in the 2020-21 Season volleyball Super League. However, her time in the national training team is very short, the opportunity to cooperate with the members of the national team is relatively small, and the experience of the national team is even less. How dare Lang Dare to Let Ni Feifan participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games? Speaking of the recent volleyball Super League, Ni Feifan's performance is not very good. It can be seen that her technology is not stable enough, and her mind is not very mature. Lang Dao certainly did not dare to take this risk.
Regardless of Wang Mengjie's state at the time, she was more suitable for the Tokyo Olympics than other players. The national team has not performed well, there are many factors, and the responsibility cannot be blamed on a few players. The majority of fans still have to look at this matter rationally.
Wang Mengjie also has to put down her baggage and start over. As she said in the letter: "For the dream to go again, go to the field of the jumping, emotional little cute." 」 "The majority of fans should also have a sense of tolerance and rational treatment of all players who have contributed to the Chinese women's volleyball team!"
