The World Women's Volleyball League is fine-tuned

The 2022 World Women's Volleyball League, which is the first international competition faced by the new manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team, although its importance is not very high, it is still the focus of attention of the majority of fans. Moreover, the World Women's Volleyball League is one of the reform measures of the FiVB, and the points of the World Women's Volleyball League are being linked to the qualification for the Paris Olympic Games, which is to force the teams to pay attention to the World Women's Volleyball League. As a result, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which takes the Olympic Games as the core of its preparations, has to pay enough attention.

On April 16, 2022, fivestivity updated the detailed schedule of the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship. People noticed that some details, especially the timing of the game, had changed. This year, 16 teams will participate, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will participate in the corner competition of Ankara in Turkey, Pasay in the Philippines and Sofia in Bulgaria, encountering 12 teams in addition to Serbia, Germany and Bulgaria.

Sofia, Bulgaria, replaced Ufa, Russia, and after hosting the third week of the sub-station competition, the opponents of the Chinese team in the third week of the match remained unchanged, but the order of the game and the tee time were adjusted. In the first week of Ankara, Turkey, the Chinese team will face the Netherlands at 23:30 Beijing time on June 1, the Turkish team at 0:00 Beijing time on June 4, the Italian team at 21:00 Beijing time on June 4, and the Thai team at 18:00 Beijing time on June 5. In the second week of the Philippines Pasay station, the Chinese team will play against belgium at 19:00 Beijing time on June 15, Against Canada at 15:00 Beijing time on June 17, against the United States at 19:00 Beijing time on June 18, and against Japan at 19:00 Beijing time on June 19.

Face off against a number of world teams

Whether it is the Chinese team, or other teams, will not exert their full strength in the World Women's Volleyball League, but the strength of each team will still be objectively presented. For the Chinese women's volleyball team, this is the debut of a new team after all, and training is on the one hand, but if it is not played well, it will still be criticized by all parties. Just in the 2021 international arena, even if the famous coach Lang Ping leads the team, the Chinese women's volleyball team that has not played well has still been criticized by many fans and the media.

The world's strongest teams have entered the cycle of the Paris Olympic Games, which is also the stage for the new coach Cai Bin to observe the changes in opponents. In the first game in Ankara, Turkey, the opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team is not weak. The Dutch team has always been tough, and the Turkish team not only has Kara Coulter, but also a number of rising stars, and their strong serves must be a huge impact on the Chinese team's unstable one-pass system. With the retirement of the "golden generation" of the Thai women's volleyball team, the whole team has completed the replacement of the old and new, Aye Chala Phong, Cha Chu Ang, Pingpi Chaya, Popon, Hataya, Tadao have taken over, the Thai team's defense and small, fast, and spirit characteristics are still outstanding, and whether the Chinese team can adapt to the fast pace of the opponent is also a highlight. Speaking of the italian team that won the championship, the famous star Egnu was in the sky, and a number of new stars such as Nwacarlo emerged.

In the second week of Pasay in the Philippines, the Chinese team will meet the Japanese women's volleyball team. Nakata Kumi has stepped down, and the 58-year-old Masayoshi Makoto has once again come out of the mountain to regain control of the Japanese women's volleyball team. The Japanese women's volleyball team Koga Sarina, Ishikawa Masayuki and others are in the year of the fight, and Masayoshi Manabe will also introduce new players to join the Japanese women's volleyball team. The Japanese team is still the favorite to win the Asian Games, and the showdown between Masayoshi Makoto and Cai Bin is also expected. Moreover, in the second week of the competition, the Chinese team will encounter the Tokyo Olympic champion American women's volleyball team, the famous coach Kirari has renewed the United States team, determined to create a new era of the United States women's volleyball team, Sino-US showdown is definitely the highlight. In the third week of Sofia, Bulgaria, the Chinese team will also meet the strong team Brazil, Brazil is the strongest opponent in the half of the Chinese team at this year's World Championships, and the collision between China and Pakistan will not be calm. Moreover, the number one star of the South Korean women's volleyball team, Kim Soft King, gradually faded out, Lee Jae-young and Lee Do-young are still banned, and the strength of the new South Korean team is unknown.

Quickly and comprehensively multi-possible

How to determine the existing main lineup of the new Chinese women's volleyball team, what technical and tactical play will Be given to the team by Cai Bin who is out of the mountains again, and the existing players do have a variety of rapid and comprehensive technical and tactical play styles.

There is a big premise here, that is, Zhu Ting, a killer with a hammer ability, needs to recuperate because of wrist surgery just finished, and she cannot return to the team for a long time this year, even if she returns to the team, it is difficult to quickly reach the peak state, and even if it reaches the state of international competition, from the perspective of protecting players, no coach dares to use Zhu Ting easily. At the same time, Zhang Changning, the former main attacker, is still in the adjustment stage and cannot return to the team for the time being. If you count the former excellent deputy attacker Yan Ni has retired, in fact, the Chinese women's volleyball team will inevitably change in technical and tactical play.

Li Yingying must be the absolute main force of the main offensive line, but her diagonal main attack is one of the biggest suspense, and it is also the focus of the struggle of many main attackers. Even Li Yingying, in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, is basically a substitute, the new combination of main offensive lines is related to the Chinese team's front-of-the-net attack. Just without The world's top attacker like Zhu Ting, the main offensive line of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the future, and even the main attack, secondary attack, and second pass of the whole team, will inevitably have to do enough in terms of technical comprehensiveness and speed, so what is finally prominent is one word: change.

Jiangsu Nova's main attack on Wu Mengjie is outstanding, but the ability to pass is currently insufficient, and she will inevitably need free people such as Ni Feifan, Xu Jianan and Wang Weiyi to make up for Wu Mengjie's deficiencies and support half of the back row security system. It can be seen that the tactical system involves the whole body.

Looking at the secondary offensive line, Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Yang Hanyu, Gao Yi, and Zheng Yixin are also regulars of the national team, and zheng Yixin, who can absolutely attack the weakest and the shortest body, is worth looking forward to. If the whole team can cooperate with tacit understanding and play the speed volleyball lethality, Zheng Yixin, who can switch back and forth between the secondary offensive line and the two positions, is a variable. Similarly, Gong Xiangyu, Chen Peiyan, and Miao Yiwen, who are quite effective, can run in the position of the matching position and attack.

Of course, there is another position that is more critical, that is, the core second setter of the organization. The world's best second setter Ding Xia needless to say, Diao Linyu is more known for speed, now I am afraid that not many people are familiar with Cai Yaqian from Shandong, she was once the world youth champion second setter, and pay attention to the rapid organization of attacks in sports battles.

Cai Bin said that the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning is the current actual situation, he hopes that the new Chinese women's volleyball team will play team volleyball, try to do more blossoming, and hope that the second setter will mobilize all the attackers on the field. "Overall, I still want to be comprehensive, try to be as fast as possible on the basis of comprehensiveness, we will formulate tactics for the characteristics and playing styles of different opponents, and we will not remain static." Only in 2022 to lay the foundation for the future Paris Olympic Games cycle tactical system prototype, then when Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning and others return, it will be like a tiger.
