On the occasion of the Spring Festival, all the volleyball teams have released New Year's greeting videos to thank the fans and hometown fathers and elders and send New Year wishes. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team, which has always attached importance to publicity work, is naturally also involved. Captain Gong Xiangyu began to offer his blessings to the fans through a New Year's message that began with 1-10. Through the New Year's greeting video of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, we also discovered new changes in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team. These new changes may also indicate that in the new year, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will be further improved.
In the 2021-2022 women's volleyball league, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team made large-scale adjustments to the main lineup. Wu Mengjie replaced Zhang Changning, who was absent due to injury, and Two young generals, Yang Jia and Wan Ziyue, replaced Wang Chenyue and Zhou Xinyi. Veteran Wang Chenyue has always insisted on playing with injuries, and it is not surprising that he chose to retire after the National Games. But it is puzzling that the outstanding Mesozoic player Zhou Xinyi was excluded from the main squad. However, from the New Year's greeting video of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, we not only saw Zhou Xinyi among the players, but also found Zhang Changning's brother Zhang Chen in the coaching team. It is regrettable that Zhang Changning did not appear in it.
The appearance of Zhou Xinyi and Zhang Chen undoubtedly indicates that in the new year, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team will be further improved from the lineup to the coaching team. And Zhang Changning's absence may indicate that she has made a choice about her future. As we all know, under the premise that Zhang Changning is injured and married, the news that Zhang Changning will retire after the Tokyo Olympic Games has been widely circulated many years ago. When a reporter asked this question, Zhang Changning only gave a plausible answer, making the answer to this question more confusing.
With the holding of the Tokyo Olympic Games, this rumor has also been gradually forgotten by fans, and after the Tokyo Olympic Games, the focus of fans is not on the reasons for the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team, or on the selection of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although there were repeated injuries, surgery, and weddings in Zhang Changning during the period, few fans were associated with previous retirement rumors. However, if you string together these things that happened to Zhang Changning, you will find that things seem to be developing in the direction of Zhang Changning's retirement.
Although Zhang Changning has not yet made a clear statement. But it can be learned from a program not long ago that Zhang Changning's recovery speed after surgery is quite amazing, and in less than two months, Zhang Changning, who is "bone surprised", has returned to a normal state. Although Zhang Changning himself said that it was still far from the athlete's requirements, fans believed that the time for Zhang Changning's return was not far away. However, at this time, Zhang Changning, who has basically recovered, did not appear in the New Year's video of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, which had to make fans wonder whether Zhang Changning had chosen to retire.
At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team is facing restructuring, and it is precisely the time to employ people. If Zhang Changning chooses to retire, it will definitely be a loss for the Chinese women's volleyball team. But if Zhang Changning has already made up his mind, even if the fans do not want to see such a result, it will not have the slightest impact on Zhang Changning's choice. Moreover, Zhang Changning, who has been basically cured, did not appear in the Jiangsu women's volleyball team's New Year's video, which may mean that Zhang Changning has made a decision to retire. The current variable is that Cai Bin has been elected as the manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and it seems that he has no way to keep Zhang Changning.
