On February 7, 2022, Beijing time, the Chinese Volleyball Association announced the criteria for entering the candidate pool of athletes of the women's national volleyball team, based on physical fitness, skills and body shape, based on the previous physical fitness test, and also referred to the dynamic data of the National Women's Volleyball Championship and the Women's Volleyball League. In the end, 71 people entered the talent pool, and many Olympic players were listed. It is worth mentioning that only 10 people were selected for the reception position, and the shortcomings were obvious.
Entering 2022, the Chinese Volleyball Association first announced the new coach candidate, and Cai Bin became Lang Ping's successor. Then, the Chinese women's volleyball team will set up a team, in order to standardize the selection of national team athletes, according to the national team's participation tasks and goals, convenient for the coaching team to select and transfer talents at any time, the Chinese Volleyball Association launched a talent candidate pool, the selection conditions are physical fitness, skills, body shape in line with the standard.
The Chinese Volleyball Association announced the minimum standards for each data, referred to the previous physical fitness test data and league dynamic data, and finally determined the list of the first phase of the talent candidate pool. Of course, there are other strict requirements for being selected into the talent pool, such as violations of team rules and discipline, doping violations, illegal participation in business activities, etc., which will be rejected by the national team.
The first phase of the talent pool candidate list has a total of 71 people, the main offensive position 21 people selected, is the position with the largest talent reserve, Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Li Yingying and other core players are among them. A total of 19 people were selected for the secondary attack position, including Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Yang Hanyu and other secondary attacks that Lang Ping focused on cultivating, as well as Liu Yu, Xue Yizhi and other secondary attacks that performed well in the league.
A total of 11 people were selected for the second pass position, led by Ding Xia and Yao Di, and Zhang Zihan, Mei Xiaohan, Xu Xiaoting and other potential second passes were also among them. A total of 10 free people were selected, including Wang Mengjie, Ni Feifan, Wang Weiyi and so on.
There are also 10 people selected for the reception position, indicating that our talent reserve in the receiving position is insufficient, which is a major shortcoming. Before, we have been discussing the problem of Gong Xiangyu's replacement or successor, that is, there are too few excellent domestic receivers, which is a problem that Cai Bin needs to solve. The young players such as Chen Peiyan, Wang Yindi, and Chen Boya who have been selected for the list are all worth cultivating, and at the same time, we must continue to explore new talents.
Overall, this list basically includes the core players of the national team and the stars of hope, and some young players who have performed well in the league have also entered the talent pool, I believe that Cai Bin will give young players a lot of opportunities to fully exercise young players!
