Cai Bin is leading the new Chinese women's volleyball team to actively prepare for the World League that starts at the end of May. As far as the training screen is concerned, Cai Jiajun's starting lineup has been preliminarily determined, so this newly formed women's volleyball team only has one last suspense left, that is, who will succeed Zhu Ting as the new captain.
From all indications, Yuan Xinyue is expected to take over the captainship position, and she has led the team to appear 3 times. The first time was at the inaugural meeting of the women's volleyball training camp, Yuan Xinyue spoke on behalf of all the participating athletes; the second time was during the beilun training team running, Yuan Xinyue appeared as a vanguard soldier; the third time was in Zhangzhou training, Yuan Xinyue stood in the front when the team was in line. Such frequent leading appearances also show her position in Cai Bin's heart and the importance of the new women's volleyball team.
In fact, Yuan Xinyue's promotion to captain is not surprising. First of all, Yuan Xinyue's national team qualifications are the deepest of these players. When Lang Pinggang coached the Chinese women's volleyball team, Yuan Xinyue was selected for the national team, and now it has been 9 years, while other competitors such as Ding Xia and Gong Xiangyu have only been in the team for about 6 or 7 years.
Then compared to the honor, Yuan Xinyue was also no less than that. She has olympic champions, World Cup champions, league champions and National Games champions, although there is no gold medal in the World Championships, Yuan Xinyue has a silver and a bronze; in the end, Yuan Xinyue's momentum is good, and she can inspire her teammates on the field. Yuan Xinyue did not score a point on the field, she would shout loudly, and Zhu Ting was also hurt by her high pitch. The shouts sound harsh, but it's a good way for intense young players to drive the atmosphere on the pitch.
In the current national team training lineup, there are only 3 people who can compete with Yuan Xinyue, namely Ding Xia, the captain of the Liaoning women's volleyball team, Gong Xiangyu, the captain of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, and Li Yingying, the rising star of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Compared with Yuan Xinyue's perfect qualifications, these 3 people as captains have their own disadvantages. Although Ding Xia is the oldest in this women's volleyball team, she has now retreated to the second line, and Cai Bin uses Diao Linyu as the main force. If you are a substitute captain, you have to assign a new captain on the field, which is slightly redundant.
Although Gong Xiangyu will continue to play the main force in the new cycle, her personality is too dull and not suitable for driving the atmosphere on the field; Li Yingying is because her qualifications are too shallow. Although she is the core of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, she has never played the main force in the national team, and the international honor she has won is only one World Cup champion, so it is difficult to convince the public. Compared with the 4 veterans, Yuan Xinyue is the best candidate.
In the new cycle, yuan xinyue in addition to serving as the captain, she will also form a new trident with Li Yingying and Gong Xiangyu to help the Chinese women's volleyball team continue to compete for gold and silver in international competitions. Yuan Xinyue's back fly will be the most important scoring weapon in the new cycle, and it is also a weapon for the team to survive the two-point offensive round. I hope that Yuan Xinyue can stand up to the vacancy left by Yan Ni after retiring.
