On February 4, 2022, South Korean table tennis star Zhu Shihe announced his retirement, ending his career, and ushered in a new identity, as the head coach of the South Korean men's team, Zhu Shihe's best career result was the world table tennis championships men's singles runner-up, he is also a chipper, but with the international table tennis federation to change the ball, the number of players who cut the ball is getting fewer and fewer, just last year, China's famous Liu Fei also announced his retirement.
Mention Zhu Shihe, I believe that many fans are not unfamiliar with him, once played a dark horse in the World Table Tennis Championships, and finally won the men's singles runner-up, creating the best result of the chipper in the World Table Tennis Championships in recent years, in fact, Zhu Shihe has been silent for a long time, until he recently returned to the field and participated in some professional leagues, this time he chose to end his career, ushered in a new identity, and served as the head coach of the men's team for the first time.
In the world competition, Zhu Shihe has achieved excellent results many times, he said that he is very reluctant to end his 34-year table tennis career, but the new challenge has begun, and he also hopes to show a better mental outlook in the future, leading the Korean men's table tennis team to continue to move forward, of course, how good Is Zhu Shihe's ability, or to see the results of his team, if the results are poor, it is likely to be replaced.
The head coach of the South Korean team is not good, as long as the team can not get the results in the competition, it will soon be adjusted, just last year's World Table Tennis Championships Zhang Yuzhen / Lin Zhongxun won the men's doubles runner-up, for this result they are not particularly satisfied, from then on to consider who to change next, and finally finalized That Zhu Shihe is responsible for the men's team, Wu Guangxian is responsible for the women's team, there are indeed not too many choices, Liu Nankui and other famous players have used.
It is true that Zhu Se-hyuk is an excellent table tennis player, but it does not mean that he is an excellent head coach, there are many similar examples, for Zhu Shihe, the problem is in front of him, need to rely on himself to solve, the current three main players of the South Korean men's team is Still Jung Young-sik, Lee Sang-so, Jang Woo-jin, last year Lee Sang-so performed the best, won the Asian Championship men's singles championship, when the national table tennis was absent.
The South Korean team is one of the main opponents of national table tennis, especially the men's team has strong competitiveness, now Zhu Shihe serves as the head coach, preparing for the team World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games, it is indeed not to be underestimated, to the new season, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, the earliest competition of national table tennis is carried out at the end of the month, the coaching team sends young players, signs up for the challenge held in Oman, and also hopes that they will get more exercise.
At present, the national table tennis is still on holiday, it is expected to assemble next Monday to start training, the new journey is about to begin, and finally hope that the national table tennis can achieve good results in the future competition, as for the results of Zhu Shihe's coaching, let time tell us the answer.
