February 16 is the opening day of the women's volleyball training camp. With the arrival of the new coach Cai Bin and the team members participating in the training camp in Beilun, more news about the women's volleyball team appeared in the media. Among them, Chen Youquan, the former head coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, has arrived in Beilun and entered the national team coaching composition as a foregone conclusion.
Chen Youquan came out of the mountain
Chen Youquan became the assistant coach of the Tianjin women's volleyball team in 2001 and assisted the gold medal coach Wang Baoquan for many years. Since 2010, Chen Youquan has been the head coach of tianjin youth women's volleyball team, and in 2015, he became the head coach of China youth women's volleyball team. In 2016, Chen Youquan served as the head coach of the second team of the Chinese women's volleyball team and led the team to win the women's volleyball Asian Cup championship that year. In 2017, he took over Wang Baoquan as the head coach of Tianjin women's volleyball team. At the end of 2019, due to the poor results of the Club World Cup, Chen Youquan resigned as the coach of Tianjin and has been idle ever since. At this moment, Cai Bin invited Chen Youquan to go out of the mountain again, with at least two purposes.
Chen Youquan knows Li Yingying best
First, practice and use Li Yingying well. In the absence of core players such as Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, for the new Chinese women's volleyball team, using Li Yingying is the key. As Li Yingying's mentor, Chen Youquan holds Li Yingying's instruction manual. In this case, inviting Chen Youquan out of the mountain is Cai Bin's clever move. With Chen's guidance and training, Li Yingying will make faster progress, improve more, and the strength of the women's volleyball team will be stronger.
Chen Youquan is good at cultivating new talents
The second is to help select new talents. In view of the fading out of veterans such as Yan Ni, Liu Xiaotong, and Zeng Chunlei, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning cannot return to the team for the time being, and the replacement of the new and old in the women's volleyball team has become inevitable. This reality also determines that the new national team coaching team must pay attention to the cultivation of new talents and tap reserve forces. Chen Youquan has long been engaged in the head coach of the young women's volleyball team and has a unique vision for the selection of new talents. Many active players in the Tianjin women's volleyball team were trained by Chen Youquan from the youth team. This reorganization of the national team naturally requires Chen Youquan to help in the selection of new talents and to be discerning.
Chen Youquan is dedicated and conscientious. Having such a powerful assistant will greatly reduce the pressure on coach Cai Bin. The train runs fast, all thanks to the headband. After the new women's volleyball coaching team is in place, I believe that it will definitely lead the women's volleyball team to continue its glory. Let's look forward to it!
