In fact, it can be seen from the recent promotional films of the national table tennis that Chen Meng can still match the current Fan Zhendong. Although Chen Meng's current ranking is surpassed by Sun Yingsha, and it is also surpassed by Wang Manyu in the gold content of the competition. But it seems that this is not affected by anything, whether it is fans or Liu Guoliang, they are very optimistic about Chen Meng's Grand Slam prospects.
It seems that the more Chen Meng loses to Wang Manyu, the higher the fans' expectations of Chen Meng. Even now Chen Meng's world ranking has been surpassed by Sun Yingsha, and many fans are not in a hurry at all. Because in the eyes of these fans, although Sun Yingsha has become the world's first, she is not the strongest one at all.
But when Chen Meng was in the first position in the world, these fans did not think so. In the eyes of these fans, only Chen Meng's world first is truly deserved. It seems that these fans are affected by inertial thinking, and it is difficult to jump out of that inherent thinking mode, so it is not surprising that these fans have such logic.
Within the scope of the last Tokyo Olympic cycle, the strategy cultivated by the national table tennis coaching team was to focus on veterans. But judging by the final performance of the Tokyo Olympics, the role played by the veterans was not as great as that played by the young athletes. However, at that time, the national table tennis told the fans that the veterans had game experience, and many fans still believe that the reason why the veterans stayed in the national table tennis was because they had game experience.
However, when Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin, who have experience in the game, lost to the combination of Ito Mishimachi and Mizutani Hayabusa, the coaching team no longer insisted on such a view. Because Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, were not affected by the so-called competition experience. On the contrary, because they did not participate in the Olympic Games, they did not have such a big psychological baggage, and they played very well.
This caused some fans to reflect, and with the end of the Olympic Games, after entering a new cycle, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu participated in the big competition consecutively, and the championships won were all won. This shows that young players already have the strength to succeed the veterans, and now when it comes to the contribution to national table tennis, the role of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu is undoubtedly greater than that of the veterans.
Fans just start from a personal emotional point of view, wanting Chen Meng to achieve a Grand Slam. But these fans should not look down on these young national table tennis players as the main goal, if there is no Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu to participate, can Chen Meng reach the women's singles final four? If the next World Table Tennis Championships does not have the participation of these two young players, will the national table tennis have the strength to win the championship in singles?
Therefore, many fans still underestimate the role of these young players such as Sun Yingsha, sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu can never be a stumbling block for Chen Meng, but are the helpers of Chen Meng's championship. Some fans of Chen Meng, only seeing Wang Manyu beat Chen Meng in a row, did not think that if Wang Manyu did not participate in the singles competition, Chen Meng would be in danger of encountering a chipper.
If Wang Manyu had been defeated by Chen Xingtong or the chipper at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, would Chen Meng have been able to reach the women's singles final? Therefore, fans still have to look at the problem dialectically, and do not think that all the players are obstacles to Chen Meng. Although the coaching team and Liu Guoliang have been carrying out the layout of national table tennis, whether they can achieve the effect still needs time to be verified.
In the Olympic Games, Liu Guoliang originally wanted Liu Shiwen to win two championships in the team competition and the mixed doubles competition. At the beginning, the idea was to let Liu Shiwen, a veteran, lead Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha to compete in the team competition. Before the game, Liu Shiwen also confidently believed that Sun Yingsha and these players had no competition experience, and she needed her to lead such a big competition in the Olympic Games.
Of course, the final result was unexpected by Liu Guoliang, and Sun Yingsha perfectly replaced Liu Shiwen's position and completed the responsibility of the leader of the team competition very well. Although Liu Guoliang did not declare Sun Yingsha to be the leader of the national table tennis, Sun Yingsha played the role of the leader.
So now, although Liu Guoliang really wants to make Chen Meng a Grand Slam player, it is still a question whether he can achieve the final effect. Now Chen Meng's technology and age are short, and waiting until the next World Table Tennis Championships to win the championship singles is indeed more difficult than last year's World Table Tennis Championships. Although it seems that Chen Meng can play a decisive game with Wang Manyu, fans should also see that chen Meng does not have much advantage in the face of Chen Xingtong's match with Wang Yidi.
In fact, now it is not to say that the national table tennis does not have a sister problem, but in the minds of Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis coaching team, under the influence of traditional inertial thinking, I have always wanted to let the older players be the leading players of the national table tennis. This can also be understood, after all, let the young players be the leading players, then the existence of the veteran in the national table tennis is unnecessary.
Recently, many fans think that Liu Shiwen should retire, because there is no Liu Shiwen, the national table tennis has won the championship, and Liu Shiwen's role in the national table tennis is not as obvious as before. The reason for this phenomenon is that ito Mimako and other foreign opponents are too strong and can always pose a foreign war threat to the veterans of national table tennis.
Therefore, Chen Meng's road to a grand slam still depends on Chen Meng's performance against foreign players. If Chen Meng's performance in foreign competitions is still excellent, there is still a possibility of becoming a Grand Slam player. Including Liu Shiwen, if Liu Shiwen can now beat Ito Andema and Hayata Hina, there is still a possibility of participating in the next Olympic singles competition.
Therefore, for Chen Meng, it is still necessary to strengthen his own technical and tactical strength and strive to fight foreign wars. Liu Guoliang and the coaching staff have always attached great importance to the cultivation of veterans, which is beyond doubt. Whether they can achieve a grand slam depends on the efforts of the players themselves. I don't know how the majority of fans and friends look, welcome to leave a message to discuss. Pay attention to the Erlang Shenkan ball, bring you the purest table tennis thinking.
