With the arrival of 2022, although the new Chinese women's volleyball team has not yet been formed, the debut time has been basically determined. According to the 2022 Women's Volleyball World League sub-station arrangements announced by the International Volleyball Federation, the Chinese women's volleyball team will start to compete at the end of May and end a one-month overseas run until the beginning of July.
In the first week in Ankara, Turkey (May 31 to June 5), the Chinese women's volleyball team played against the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey and Thailand respectively; in the second week, the Philippines Pasay (June 14 to June 19), the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against the United States, Belgium, Canada and Japan; the third week (June 28 to July 3) moved to Ufa, Russia, against Brazil, Dominica, South Korea and Poland.
As far as this arrangement is concerned, if there is no accident, the 2022 debut of the Chinese women's volleyball team should be the match with the Netherlands on May 31. Although the Dutch women's volleyball team rose rapidly in the Rio Olympic cycle and won the fourth place in the Olympic Games, in the Tokyo cycle, they fell quickly, coupled with the retirement of the absolute core Sloterjes, the new cycle of the Dutch women's volleyball team is not a big threat to the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In addition to facing the Netherlands in the first week, it is also necessary to face italy and Turkey. These two games will also test the overall strength of the new Chinese women's volleyball team. Italy and Turkey have shown good strength in the Olympic Games, and the age structure of their teams is reasonable, and their lineup should not change much in the new cycle, and they will still use the Tokyo Olympic team as a team.
In the second week, the opponents that the Chinese women's volleyball team needs to pay attention to are the United States and Japan. The new cycle of the U.S. women's volleyball team is estimated to alternate between the old and the new, and some of the veterans of the team should temporarily leave the national team, but the momentum and technology of their young players are quite good, and the Chinese women's volleyball team cannot be lightly opposed; the Japanese women's volleyball team and China, like China, encountered Waterloo in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and their old coach Zhen Pot Justice in the new cycle will re-emerge and will lead the team to continue to move forward. In any case, the bottom line of the Chinese women's volleyball team is that it cannot lose to Japan.
The main opponent in the third week is the Brazilian women's volleyball team, and the rest of South Korea, Dominica and Poland are not a big threat to the team. The Brazilian women's volleyball team relies on a wave of veterans to win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and the new cycle is expected to alternate between the old and the new to examine young players. Brazil is a team with delicate technical style, which will also test the small ball series and back row guarantee of the new Chinese women's volleyball team. If we can beat Brazil, we can look forward to the future.
Regrettably, we were unable to play against Russia, Serbia and Germany in the race. The German women's volleyball team is weak, not the main opponent of the Paris cycle, Russia has not yet determined the manager, what kind of style and model they will adopt, it is still unknown. The Serbian women's volleyball team is coached by an Italian coach and is expected to integrate into Italy's playing style. If Serbia and Russia cannot reach the final of the World League, then the Chinese women's volleyball team can only play encounters with their opponents at the World Championships.
