The Chinese men's volleyball team has announced the list of elite training camps in 2022, led by Wu Sheng, who led the team to win the bronze medal in the Asian Championship, and Zhang Jingyin, Yu Yuantai, Li Yongzhen and other main players were all shortlisted. However, it is regrettable and surprising that 4 famous players lost the training camp, they are Liu Libin, Peng Shikun, Rao Shuhan and Zhang Zhejia.
The strength of these 4 players can be said to be at the top level among the domestic men's volleyball players, especially Peng Shikun and Zhang Zhejia are the top three players in the secondary attack position. In fact, Peng Shikun and Zhang Zhejia did not have a chance in the training camp. First of all, Peng Shikun is now participating in the Japan Men's Volleyball League in Japan, so it is difficult to return to the team for training. As a new star of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the new cycle, Peng Shikun is also the main force on the men's volleyball team's vice offensive line even if he does not participate in the training camp.
Zhang Zhejia's failure to participate in the training camp is mainly due to injuries. Zhang Zhejia has always been the closest world-class player to the Chinese men's volleyball team, but unfortunately his physical condition does not allow for high-intensity training, so many men's volleyball coaches have not included him in the training list. Although Zhang Zhejia does not participate in the training camp, the author believes that if he plays an international competition, if zhang Zhejia is recruited to play, he will still return to the team to participate in the competition, such as the previous Olympic qualification tournament and the Olympic defeat.
Compared with the lack of Peng Shikun and Zhang Zhejia, the exit of Liu Libin and Rao Shuhan has triggered discussion among fans. The author feels that the exit of these two people is not a surprise. Liu Libin debuted with Jiang Chuan and called the men's volleyball twin stars, also went to the Japanese league to play and achieved good results, is the main offensive player of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the last cycle. However, Liu Libin did not show his strength in the second half of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, but was repeatedly plagued by injuries.
Whether it is the Olympic qualification or the Olympic defeat, Liu Libin's performance is not satisfactory. Wu Sheng also gave Liu Libin a chance after taking office, but he did not seize the opportunity, but was surpassed by the younger Zhang Jingyin, Yu Yuantai, Yuan Dangyi and others. The main task of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the new cycle is to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games, so it is understandable that the team chooses relatively more potential newcomers. If Liu Libin wants to return to the national team, he should still be more proactive, not play two games in the league and two games, and get injured at every turn.
Rao Shuhan is a secondary attack that the Chinese men's volleyball team focuses on in the cycle, and has partnered with Chen Longhai. The reason why Rao Shuhan did not have the opportunity to train camp, the author believes that the situation is somewhat similar to Liu Libin, that is, the new generation of secondary attacks has emerged one after another, squeezing to Rao Shuhan's position. The strength of Li Yongzhen, Peng Shikun, and Jiang Zhengyang of the new generation of secondary attacks is stronger than that of Rao Shuhan, especially in terms of net blocking ability, so it is not surprising that Rao Shuhan was abandoned.
In 2022, the Chinese men's volleyball team will face two tasks, namely the Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships. For the men's volleyball boys, the Asian Games at home should strive for medals, and the World Championships should have a learning attitude and dare to fight hard.
