On the afternoon of March 17, Beijing time, the drawing ceremony for various Asian volleyball competitions in 2022 was held at the headquarters of the Asian Volleyball Federation in Bangkok, Thailand, including the group drawing ceremony of the Asian Cup women's volleyball tournament that has attracted the attention of Chinese fans. The Chinese women's volleyball team, which was finally divided into group A, was grouped with rival South Korea and the host Philippines, Iran and Australia. The other two teams, Japan and Thailand, were divided into Group B with Vietnam, Chinese Taipei and Kazakhstan.
In the 2022 annual competition of the Asian Volleyball Federation, Chinese volleyball gave up this year's men's volleyball Asian Cup and the men's volleyball Asian Club Cup competition, and only participated in the women's volleyball Asian Cup in the adult competition, and the remaining competitions were the Asian Youth Championship and the Asian Junior Championship of the men's and women's volleyball team. However, due to the overlap between the 2022 Asian Cup women's volleyball tournament and the more important women's volleyball world championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games women's volleyball tournament, in the face of the Asian Cup, the Asian Games and the World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team is also likely to divide the troops.
It is reported that in the face of the women's volleyball Asian Cup, The Asian Games and the World Championships three major competitions almost seamless situation, because the Asian Games and the World Championships are the key events of the Chinese women's volleyball team with performance indicators, the General Administration of Sports has issued a hard target for the Asian Games to win the championship and the World Championships to strive for good results, in order to ensure the results of the Asian Games and the World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team will definitely send the strongest lineup to participate. In this way, the Asian Games and the World Championships basically determined a team composed of the main squad led by coach Cai Bin to compete.
The Asian Cup itself has no performance requirements, and it is expected that the team will send young and potential players to participate, not only to feel the atmosphere of international competitions, but also to get exercise through competitions, which will help improve their technical level. Therefore, the Chinese women's volleyball team will organize a second-tier lineup to participate in the Asian Cup women's volleyball tournament. For the national women's volleyball training team, which has gathered as many as 67 outstanding players, it is fully equipped to compete in different competitions in two ways from the personnel reserve.
Women's volleyball head coach Cai Bin will lead the team to participate in the Asian Games and the World Championships, while the head coach of the second team is most likely to be Played by Tianjin famous coach Chen Youquan, who will lead the second team to participate in the Asian Cup. Chen Youquan's coaching ability is also quite good, he has led the Tianjin Women's Volleyball League to win the championship, especially he single-handedly cultivated a talented player like Li Yingying, which shows his excellent professional ability. Moreover, he is low-key and pragmatic, a good helper and assistant of Cai Dao, and hopes that the second team he leads can also play a good result.
The Asian Cup women's volleyball team group revealed, the famous coach Chen Youquan or lead the team to compete, from the strength of the composition, the second team is definitely not as good as the first team of the main force, most of the second team players should be potential young players and women's volleyball national team fringe players, such as Wang Yifan, Chen Xintong, Xu Jianan, Wang Yizhu, Xu Xiaoting, Hu Mingyuan, Chen Peiyan, Meng Zixuan, Zheng Yixin and others! Among them, three powerful new stars are expected to shine and realize themselves through the Asian Cup.
These three new stars include the much-watched young player Wang Yifan, born in 2005, who just turned 17 years old, and Wang Yifan, who is 1 meter 88 tall, has played the main attack of the Guangdong Evergrande women's volleyball team for two seasons, and has a good performance in the Volleyball Super League and the National Championship. The other is the increasingly mature "genius girl" to meet Chen Peiyan, tall and strong, she has outstanding dunk power, belongs to Cai Bin's preferred strong receiving type, and is expected to succeed Gong Xiangyu. And Shanghai's outstanding young second pass Xu Xiaoting may be reused by Chen Youquan. Xu Xiaoting, a 24-year-old second-passing rising star with a height of 1.85 meters, is a tall second-passer with outstanding strength.
In the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team will encounter challenges from South Korea, Japan and Thailand! The Japanese women's volleyball team led by Masayoshi Makoto, the Thai women's volleyball team with a fast and changeable style, it is not easy for the second team to beat them! However, in 2018, the Chinese women's volleyball team faced the same test, when Lang Ping led a team to participate in the Asian Games and the World Championships, the national youth women's volleyball bishop Lou Shi Hairong led the second team to participate in the Women's Volleyball Asian Cup, and finally the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship at the Asian Games, the World Championship won the third place, and the second team also won the Asian Cup. This time, I believe that the famous coaches Cai Bin and Chen Youquan can also withstand the test and achieve good results in the three major events.
