Recently, the Chinese women's volleyball team close to the Japanese women's volleyball team held an online press conference, the Japanese women's volleyball coach Nakata Jigami and the national team players appeared together, from the photos can also be seen, the Japanese women's volleyball head coach Nakada Kumi looks much older, which compared with two years ago, Nakata Kume's changes are visible to the naked eye, and four years ago just took over the Japanese women's volleyball team when the mood is more than a big difference. Nakata Kumi said frankly at the meeting: Due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games, considering that some famous players chose to retire, they have felt unprecedented pressure in the past year, fortunately, young players have made great progress this year, and now we have to strengthen their abilities and give full play to their potential, which is also the focus of our training during this period.
Nakata Kumi said that the retirement should be the core of the Japanese women's volleyball team New Pot Risa suddenly announced retirement last year, this technical comprehensive reception of the second pass is one of the core players of the Japanese women's volleyball team, once helped the Japanese women's volleyball team to win the London Olympic Bronze Medal of the new pot Risa was entrusted with heavy responsibilities after Nakata Kumi took office, but the Japanese women's volleyball team failed to achieve good results in the 2018 Women's Volleyball World Championships, 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup, the Japanese women's volleyball team up and down have been questioned, the new pot Risa naturally did not survive, Perhaps because of the fact that his state can not bring more help to the Japanese women's volleyball team, the new pot Risa announced his retirement in June last year. As the core, the retirement of the new pot Risa naturally has a certain impact on the Japanese women's volleyball team, but with the improvement of Nagaoka Wangyou, the new pot Risa has actually become dispensable, which may be the main reason why Nakata Kumi pinned her hopes on young players.
Nakata Kumi feels great pressure is also very normal, although the Japanese women's volleyball team is not good, but they in Japan to receive attention is not comparable to other sports teams, Tokyo Olympic Cycle, the results of the Japanese women's volleyball team are very bad, in 2018 the Japanese women's volleyball team relied on favorable groups to barely reach the top six, and finally the team failed to squeeze into the top four, the 2019 women's volleyball World Cup, the Japanese women's volleyball team only won the fifth place, objectively speaking, with the existing strength of the Japanese women's volleyball team, the team to obtain such results is actually good, It's just that Japanese fans have too high expectations of the team and inevitably be disappointed. In addition, the Japanese women's volleyball team always sets the goal very high before the game, which makes the Japanese people have unrealistic expectations for the team, to put it bluntly, the Japanese women's volleyball team adds unnecessary pressure to itself, of course, this is not a unique phenomenon after Nakada Kumi coached the Japanese women's volleyball team, the previous real pot justice coached the Japanese women's volleyball team, before each competition, the goal of the Japanese women's volleyball team is to win medals or even gold medals.
After Nakata Kumi coached the Japanese women's volleyball team, Japanese fans have high expectations for her, Nakata Kumi is known as "Japanese Lang Ping", the player period Nakata Kumi is a world-class celebrity, she was the main force of the team at the Asian Championship at the age of 18 to help the team defeat the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the championship, in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, Nakata Kumi led the Japanese women's volleyball team to the third place, she is also known as the "genius of the second pass". Because of the achievements of the player period, Nakata Kumi was placed high hopes by Japanese fans after taking office, but the results she led the team to achieve were obviously not as good as the Rio Olympic cycle, which also made the outside world doubt Nakata's coaching ability, in the 2017 Women's Volleyball Champions Cup, With Chinese women's volleyball head coach Lang Ping personal relationship Good Nakata Kumi confided in Lang Ping, Nakata Kumi told Lang Ping that he was under great pressure. In the following competitions, Nakata Kumi repeatedly wept in front of reporters because of the loss of the Japanese women's volleyball team, and judging from The various actions of Nakata Kumi, her pressure is indeed very large, which is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The Japanese women's volleyball team under the leadership of Nakata Kumi will fight with the Chinese women's volleyball team in a few days, which will be an important opportunity to test the strength of the Japanese women's volleyball team, and in the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Japanese women's volleyball team is saddled with the heavy responsibility of winning medals and even gold medals, but the current strength of the Japanese women's volleyball team, can they fulfill their wishes? As you can imagine, The pressure on Kumi Nakata at the Tokyo Olympics will be even greater.
