A few days ago, the Chinese women's volleyball team closed training has entered the second stage, head coach Cai Bin said in an interview that the main job of the coaching team is to help the main players improve their status, and dig more new people to enhance the depth of the team's bench. The 2022 Women's Volleyball National League will be the first appearance of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris Olympic cycle. Zhu Ting, the captain of the Tokyo Olympic cycle, has gone abroad for surgery and will miss the first half of the season, while Zhang Changning is preparing for his wedding. In this case, who will be the captain of the team has become the "oldest problem" for the whole team.
In the current batch of training players, Yuan Xinyue, Ding Xia and Gong Xiangyu are the three Olympic champions, and Li Yingying is the offensive core of the team, how will the coaching team choose? This season, the entire Team of the Chinese women's volleyball team has carried out "blood exchange" work, former head coach Lang Ping handed over the coaching whip to Cai Bin, and the assistant coaches Who had been following Lang Ping for many years, An Jiajie and Bao Zhuang, also returned to their respective provincial teams, the former serving as the head coach of the Shandong women's volleyball team, and the latter was previously the manager of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team. Among the team members, Yan Ni, Liu Xiaotong and Lin Li have retired, and other team members are also recovering and adjusting after experiencing the painful lessons of the Tokyo Olympics.
Not surprisingly, the upcoming National Women's Volleyball League, Yuan Xinyue, Li Yingying, Gong Xiangyu and Ding Xia are the absolute core of the team. Head coach Cai Bin also revealed that the position of captain will most likely choose among these players, so who do you think should be the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris cycle?
Although Li Yingying is the strongest and the core of the team's attack, she is the least likely to be the captain. In the past two years, Li Yingying has made significant progress in technical links and mentality, but there is still a certain gap between the competition experience and Yuan Xinyue, Ding Xia and others.
Moreover, once the responsibility of the captain is shouldered, it may not be conducive to Li Yingying's play on the field. Judging from the requirements of the Chinese women's volleyball captain, Ding Xia and Yuan Xinyue are equally divided. Both are Olympic champions and one of the starters, and who will be the captain will need to be consulted by the coaching staff. Ding Xia is getting older, and her playing opportunities are not as good as Yuan Xinyue,and Yuan Xinyue is the first in the whole team in terms of game temperament. Gong Xiangyu is also one of the candidates for captaincy, but from the perspective of scoring ability, her attack at key moments is more average, and it is difficult to use strong attacks to help teammates boost morale.
Therefore, among these four players, Yuan Xinyue and Ding Xia are likely to become the new captains of the Chinese women's volleyball team. It is worth mentioning that after the Rio Olympics, Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Yuan Xinyue, Ding Xia and Gong Xiangyu were the "old players" of the team. After Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning's absence from the 2022 National Women's Volleyball League, people such as Yuan Xinyue, Ding Xia and Gong Xiangyu need to bravely stand up and lead everyone to continue to move forward. Who do you think should become the new captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team?
