Finally, yesterday, the Chinese Volleyball Association officially announced that Cai Bin will become the new head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he will lead the team to participate in many international competitions this year
In the case of not hiring foreign coaches and Lang Ping's coaching team and not participating in the election, perhaps Cai Bin's guidance and coaching is the best result at this stage, of course, in the post-Lang Ping era, Cai Bin needs to face too many challenges and pressures. Since becoming the head coach of the women's volleyball team in 2013, Lang Ping has led the team to participate in six "three major competitions", winning three championships (2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup, 2016 Rio Olympic Games, 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup), one runner-up (2014 Women's Volleyball World Championships) and one third place (2018 Women's Volleyball World Championships), the results are remarkable, but unfortunately in the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which was well-organized before the start of the competition and aimed to defend the title, encountered the biggest Waterloo, and finally failed to enter the quarterfinals. Creating the worst record in team history, it also makes Lang's departure full of regrets
After Cai Bin took office, the first thing that needs to be solved is the spiritual outlook of the current Chinese women's volleyball team, the last time the Chinese women's volleyball team appeared in the Olympic Games, after the defeat of Tokyo Chinese proud women's volleyball girls undoubtedly fell into a trough period, how to make the Chinese people rekindle confidence in the women's volleyball team, how to make the Chinese women's volleyball team continue to maintain competitiveness in the international arena, are Cai Bin guidance and his team need to make some efforts
Secondly, this year's tricky schedule problem, the Spring Festival has passed, soon the Chinese women's volleyball team will usher in the first assembly in 2022, in May, the World Women's Volleyball League will start, and in September, our local Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Women's Volleyball Championship held in the Netherlands have followed, according to the current stage of the goal, the main goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team must be to ensure the champion of the Asian Games women's volleyball team, and the World Championships is to strive for good results, the two sides choose at a glance, After all, the Asian Games women's volleyball team is from September 8 to September 16, and the World Women's Volleyball Championship is from September 23 to October 15, from such an intensive schedule we can also understand why the Chinese Volleyball Association has set the performance goal of the women's volleyball team this year
Finally, and most importantly, the personnel of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although the vast majority of players in the lineup left by Lang Ping's guidance can play until the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, as far as this year is concerned, the lineup problem of the women's volleyball team is very tricky. Yan Ni's retirement has made the Chinese team's secondary offensive position vacant, fortunately, Wang Yuanyuan's rapid growth has made up for this, and her partner with Yuan Xinyue is definitely the strongest configuration of the current national team; the second pass position is currently Ding Xia, Yao Di, and Diao Linyu have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it remains to be seen who will be used as the main second pass; the rapid decline of Wang Mengjie on the free side also makes the national team have to consider letting others take on this important position; and the most important main offensive position, zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, are currently in the injury recovery stage If Zhu Zhang and Zhang are really absent, then the youngster Li Yingying will carry the banner of the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and who will be the opposite of the personnel will make it difficult again, the current domestic excellent main attack is relatively rare, Liu Xiaotong has retired, Duan Fang, Wu Han, Zhonghui and other new stars are not dominant in the international arena due to height problems, and Wu Mengjie, Wang Yizhu and other new stars have not yet been able to cash in their talents. Who belongs to the other main offensive position needs Cai Bin and his coaching team to use their brains
