On the evening of March 31, Beijing time, the national table tennis once again broke a sensational news, and Wang Hao, the head coach of the men's singles world number one Fan Zhendong, posted a long article on his personal social platform to refute the rumors, confirming that he had not left the national team. Wang Hao said that with the series of competitions in WTT Oman, Singapore Grand Slam and Qatar coming to an end, the task of national table tennis has also come to an end temporarily. Because the whole preparation stage was very hard, Wang Hao also expressed his gratitude to the people who cared for and supported him.
Previously, the news about Wang Hao's departure from the national team was boiling over on the Internet, and some people speculated that he was the third coach to leave the national team after Liu Guozheng and Chen Xuan. Some fans are also very idealistic, believing that Fan Zhendong is the core figure of the national table tennis in the Cycle of the Paris Olympic Games and shoulders the heavy responsibility of winning gold in the Olympic Games. Wang Hao is Fan Zhendong's head coach, and if he announces his withdrawal from the national team at this time, it may be a result that everyone does not want to see. In the midst of doubts and speculations, Wang Hao finally let the truth come out.
He explained to everyone that he saw rumors spread on the Internet about "Wang Hao is leaving the national table tennis team", and at that time he felt that this rumor was boring, and did not want to occupy everyone's public resources during training and competition, so he did not want to respond. After the end of the national table tennis key event, Wang Hao also chose to respond at the right time. From Wang Hao's point of view, this meritorious figure in the history of national table tennis will not choose to leave the national team. In particular, his beloved apprentice Fan Zhendong has not yet won the Olympic men's singles gold medal.
Coincidentally, Wang Hao returned home in all three Olympic men's singles finals and passed by the champion. Not winning the Olympic singles championship in his career has become Wang Hao's biggest regret. After becoming Fan Zhendong's head coach, Wang Hao pinned his hopes on Fan Zhendong. Not surprisingly, Fan Zhendong will represent the national table tennis in the singles and team competitions of the Paris Olympic Games, and if he can win the championship, Wang Hao will become another Olympic champion coach of the national table tennis.
Earlier, he had said in an interview that he and Fan Zhendong had established a deep friendship in the field from teammates to mentors and apprentices. If Xiao Fat can win the men's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games, it is also the result he wants most. As Wang Hao personally published an article clarifying the facts, the speculation on this topic was finally revealed. It is expected that Wang Hao and Fan Zhendong can fight side by side and realize their dreams in 2024.
