On April 16, Beijing time, the new Chinese women's volleyball team officially opened a closed training camp in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. Previously, after 3 sessions of the national women's volleyball training camp activities, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin, selected 20 players and entered the final national team training list, and li Yingying, Ding Xia, Gong Xiangyu, Yuan Xinyue and other world champions and Olympic champions were successfully shortlisted. According to reports, the main goal of this closed training in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, is to prepare for the 2022 World Women's Volleyball Championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games. The upcoming National Women's Volleyball League will be the debut of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Olympic cycle in Paris.
Head coach Cai Bin said that the team will use this tournament to fully train new people. After the Tokyo Olympic Games, the original team of the Chinese women's volleyball team was disbanded, and the main deputy attack Yan Ni, the main attack Liu Xiaotong, the free man Lin Li and others bid farewell to their volleyball careers. Zhu Ting needs wrist surgery and is still in the recovery stage; Zhang Changning is preparing for her marriage, and as for whether she will continue to play for the national team in the future, she needs to play a question mark. In this case, how to rebuild the framework of the main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team is a huge problem for the new head coach Cai Bin.
After some training some time ago, head coach Cai Bin also finalized the Chinese women's volleyball team roster for the Paris Olympic cycle. In terms of main attack, after the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, the young general Li Yingying singled out the beams, although Wang Yizhu, Jin Ye, Wang Yunhua, Wang Yifan and Wu Mengjie and others had great potential, but it was impossible to make rapid progress in a short period of time. Deputy attackers Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan and Yang Hanyu are the main players, and Yang Hanyu's strength is slightly inferior. In the position of receiving the second pass, Gong Xiangyu is still the main force of the Paris Olympic cycle, while Chen Peiyan and Miao Yiwen will compete for a substitute seat.
Ding Xia did not perform well at the Tokyo Olympics, and Diao Linyu and Cai Yaqian had high hopes for Cai Bin. In this closed training camp in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, the coaching team will also focus on the candidates for the second pass. In terms of free people, Wang Mengjie's unexpected failure to be selected in the domestic volleyball arena has caused a lot of controversy, and head coach Cai Bin said that he hopes to focus on cultivating young players, Ni Feifan, Xu Jiannan and Wang Weiyi all have good strength, but they lack the opportunity to experience the competition. The closed training of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris Olympic cycle has officially begun.
In the 2022 season, the team's two most important tasks are the Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team is the defending champion, and the goal is to get the gold medal at the doorstep. As for the World Championships, the team needs to go all out and impact the good results. Talking about what technical and tactical systems and lineup combinations will be formed by the Chinese women's volleyball team in this closed training, Cai Bin revealed that in general, the team members need to be more comprehensive, play as fast and powerful as possible in attack, and cater to the mainstream playing style characteristics of the top women's volleyball teams in the world today.
