Yesterday, the FIVB announced that the Fiat Women's Volleyball League Finals are scheduled to be held in Ankara, Turkey, in mid-July, which attracted everyone's attention!
World League Finals
Recently, due to the international volleyball federation introduced a new Paris Olympic quota to obtain the method, highlighting the importance of VNL (World Women's Volleyball League) points, since then the status of the World Women's Volleyball League has risen significantly, for the Chinese women's volleyball team that has always used the World Women's Volleyball League as a training, it must be paid attention to in the future, because it is related to the quota of the Paris Olympics!
According to the new regulations, in addition to the host, the 2023 Olympic qualification tournament can get the Olympic name, due to the cancellation of the intercontinental tournament Other teams want to go to the Olympics to fight for the world ranking, and the level of the world ranking is contributed by the points of the World Championships, VNL, intercontinental, and the new regulations highlight the importance of VNL, its points are second only to the World Championships, but higher than the Intercontinental Championships, and VNL is every year, unlike the World Championships, which is once every four years. Therefore, VNL can be said to be the key to determining whether each team can enter the Olympic Games, and each team will take the World League seriously!
Chinese women's volleyball team
But for the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is not good news: the Chinese women's volleyball team has never attached importance to the win or loss of the World League, but only used it as a stage for training new people and substitutes! In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, especially last year's World League, the Chinese women's volleyball team sent the second team to participate in the World League, played very generally, and the result did not enter the finals, while the old rival United States Brazil won the championship and runner-up!
In the last Rio cycle, the Chinese team engaged in this kind of virtual and real arrangement to win the Olympic championship, the three strongest teams in this cycle Serbia, Italy and China all engaged in this tactic, the result of the team state is worse than one, in fact, if you look carefully, the Chinese team won the championship in the last cycle really did not rely on the hidden preparation method to win, the preparation for the Olympic Games is actually very unsuccessful, fortunately, the state is spelled out behind the team, plus Lang Director's wonderful substitution and god-level tactical command. I hope that in the Paris cycle, the Chinese team will not engage in these hidden things again!
Cai Bin
On the other hand, the United States and Brazil made full use of the World League to run into the main lineup, and as a result, they played better and better at the Tokyo Olympics, and finally won the championship and runner-up! In fact, it is worth our deep thinking that now there are fewer world games, and the world league competition is to run into the lineup to improve the state, look at last year Yao Di, Wang Yuanyuan and other second-team players in the world league to play generally, but the state is out, so in the future Olympics on the contrary state is better than the first team! Therefore, Cai Bin's guidance should pay attention to: in the World League, the focus is on strengthening the squad early, properly training new people, and improving the status of the whole team!
