The schedule of the 2022 World League has been released, and the first match of the Chinese women's volleyball team will be played on June 1, against the Dutch team, and this is also the debut after the new coach Cai Bin has coached the Chinese women's volleyball team again. At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team is preparing intensely, although there are still about three months before the start of the World League, but it is certain that Zhu Ting is about to undergo surgery on the wrist, and the absence has become a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Changning's wedding date is in conflict with the World League, and will not be able to participate in this event. The two core players are absent at the same time, so the debut of Cai Bin's guidance is not easy, and Li Yingying, who has high hopes, will usher in a test.
This year, the Chinese women's volleyball team has a very heavy task, after the end of the World League, it will successively usher in the challenges of the Asian Games, the Asian Cup and the World Championships, of which the only goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Asian Games is to stand on the highest podium, so it seems more reasonable to use the World League to run into the lineup and drill play, after all, head coach Cai Bin has just taken office, and he needs to test the training results through actual combat. Moreover, although on the surface, there are currently as many as 67 members in the Chinese women's volleyball training camp, the absence of several main players will be greatly affected by the platoon deployment and on-the-spot adjustments directed by Cai Bin.
The "seven fairies" of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning's absence from the World League has no suspense, Yan Ni has retired, whether Ding Xia can participate, but also to put a big question mark, and the number one substitute Yao Di in the second pass position, also because of injury reasons, did not participate in this training camp, the former "third main attack" Liu Xiaotong, also bid farewell to the field. This means that the main attack, the secondary attack and the second pass of these three positions, Cai Bin guidance to tear down the reconstruction, especially the Chinese women's volleyball team is a team that mainly plays the No. 4 position, the two core players are absent at the same time, Cai Bin guidance can only pin hopes on Li Yingying's body, and the World League poster released by the International Volleyball Federation, on behalf of the Chinese women's volleyball team on the poster, it is Also Li Yingying, which shows that in the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, Li Yingying has become the most appealing and influential star player of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Indeed, as a young player born after 00 years, Li Yingying's progress in recent years can be seen by the naked eye, from the strong attack and weak defense when she first entered the national team in 2018, to the current offensive and defensive, Li Yingying's skills are more and more comprehensive, especially the improvement of the first pass and the defensive link, so that she has entered the ranks of "all-round main attack". However, before Li Yingying represented the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in international competitions, most of them participated as substitutes, even if it was the first field, there were Zhu Ting or Zhang Changning "bottom", so the pressure would be much less, and this time Li Yingying led the team as the core, her play will have a decisive impact on the final results of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and at the same time, this is also a "big test" on her career path for Li Yingying personally.
In addition to the main offensive position, Cai Bin's guidance will be forced to use a new combination, and the personnel arrangement of the second pass position will also test the coaching wisdom of Cai Bin's guidance. Although Ding Xia signed up for this training camp, at the same time, Ding Xia also applied for the position of volleyball project coach for outstanding retired athletes in the Liaoning Sports Bureau, which means that Ding Xia, who is over thirty years old, has entered the countdown to retirement, and even if Ding Xia can participate, her state has long ceased to be brave. For Cai Bin's guidance, what is worse is that Ding Xia's number one substitute, Yao Di, missed this training camp due to the impact of injury.
Of course, some people may say that Ding Xia and Yao Di are not there, Cai Bin guidance and Diao Linyu can be used, and during Cai Bin's guidance and coaching of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, Diao Linyu is the absolute main force of the team, so Cai Bin guidance is very familiar with Diao Linyu's technical characteristics and playing style, and Diao Linyu has long adapted to the tactical play style guided by Cai Bin. However, after all, Diao Linyu has not participated in the international competition as the main force in the national team, and the second pass is a position that involves the whole body, lacking the escort of Ding Xia and Yao Di, whether Diao Linyu's performance can meet expectations is probably still unknown.
Therefore, due to the variables in many positions, the World League, as the first international competition after Cai Bin coached the Chinese women's volleyball team, no matter what kind of results it finally achieves, it is within an acceptable range, and the outside world should also give him room to make mistakes and trials and errors to avoid repeating the mistakes of the last time he coached the national team.
