Not long ago, the two main rivals of the national table tennis women's team, Shan Xiaona and Yu Mengyu, revealed their sad experience of playing abroad in a wired program, among which Singapore's world champion Yu Mengyu once received death threats from fans because of a serious shoulder injury in 2017, while Shan Xiaona was excluded by her German teammates, questioning when she left the team to retire and why she squeezed the quota. The seemingly beautiful overseas corps is actually not smooth sailing abroad, and many players have conflicts with the head coach, teammates and fans, and will quickly "fall out of favor" without the guarantee of achievements.
The Singapore women's team is one of only two teams to pick out the Chinese women's team so far in this century, the 2002 Asian Games North Korea team defeated the Chinese women's team 3-1 to win the championship, and in 2010, the Singapore women's team defeated the Chinese women's team 3-1 to win the World Table Tennis Championships women's team championship. After experiencing the glory of the London Olympic cycle, the hero Feng Tianwei was also suddenly terminated by the Singapore Table Tennis Association, because her achievements were no longer outstanding, and there was also a saying that Feng Tianwei advised head coach Jing Junhong, who took the lead in provoking things to be excluded from the Singapore national team.
Another Singapore women's team's main player Yu Mengyu is not much stronger than Feng Tianwei, although it was only a substitute in the 2010 World Table Tennis Championships that picked up a world championship title, but Yu Mengyu in the Tokyo Olympic Games Lian Ke Zheng Yijing and Ishikawa Jiachun reached the women's singles semifinals, but also showed the true color of the dark horse. Yu Mengyu suffered a serious shoulder injury in 2017, participated in the game and lost consecutive battles, and was directly shouted by fans "how not to die".
German veteran Shan Xiaona once won the European Championship team championship and the runner-up of the women's singles, is a straight board fast attack player, during the German national team because of the long-term occupation of the main position, tragically excluded by teammates, once questioned her "when to leave, why to occupy their quota", as early as the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the German team's local players are very dissatisfied with the overseas corps, even the head coach is the former national player Shi Jie, Han Ying and Shan Xiaona have participated in the Olympic Games for 2 consecutive years, a total of 3 places and 2 Chinese, naturally dissatisfied.
Not all Chinese players are in a weak position after joining foreign teams, South Korea's sister Tian Zhixi is very strong, in the Tokyo Olympic cycle quickly became the number one main force of South Korean women's singles, currently ranked 11th in the world, she is the only one in the Korean women's team, is currently the most stable player in the international arena, although there is no world championship medal, but it does not hinder her position as the main force in South Korea No. 1. The contradiction between Tian Zhixi and head coach Liu Nankui intensified before the Tokyo Olympic Games, tian Zhixi secretly recorded and corrected Liu Nankui, resulting in the Dismissal of the South Korean Olympic hero, and the Korean Table Tennis Association compromised with Tian Zhixi for the achievements of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and everything was important for the Olympic Competition.
Overseas corps seem to be strong in other associations, can be the main force to participate in many consecutive World Cups, World Championships and Olympic Games, but their situation is not ideal, often suffer unfair and indecent treatment, once can not represent other countries to achieve certain breakthroughs and achievements, I am afraid it will soon be abandoned, often foreign associations for these Chinese players the requirements and standards are more stringent.
