A few days ago, the Chinese men's volleyball team is currently conducting closed training in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, in preparation for the Paris Olympic cycle. It is reported that the national team training will end in mid-to-late May, in addition to the need to complete the physical fitness test, head coach Wu Sheng will complete the main squad selection work. At the time of the closed training of the national team, a rumor about the cancellation of the Chinese Men's Volleyball Super League in the new season has not gone away on the Internet. According to Italian media reports, Italian stars Lanza and Vitoli, who originally participated in this year's Chinese men's volleyball league, have returned to Italy, or confirmed that the tournament has been cancelled.
Previously, the Chinese men's volleyball league has repeatedly made postponement decisions due to the impact of the epidemic. However, the official platform of the Chinese Volleyball Association has not yet issued a notice on the cancellation of the event. There are still two years to go before the Paris Olympic Games, Wu Sheng, head coach of the Chinese men's volleyball team, said in an interview that the overall state of the team is relatively stable, the main lineup is a new and old combination, and the most important thing at the moment is to polish the players' technical ability and rich game experience and adjust their mentality. The rules of the 2024 Paris Olympic Men's Volleyball Team ticket competition have been announced, which is extremely unfavorable to the Chinese Men's Volleyball Team as a whole.
But head coach Wu Sheng stressed that no matter what, the team will go all out, even if it can't catch up with the Paris Olympics, it will lay the foundation for the Los Angeles Olympics. Earlier, the International Volleyball Federation announced on its official website that the Chinese men's volleyball team will replace the Russian men's volleyball team to qualify for the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League. The Chinese men's volleyball team will compete in Brazil's Brasilia station, the Philippines' Quezon station and Poland's Gdansk station. The debut of the Chinese men's volleyball team will be on June 8, Beijing time, and the opponent is the Asian powerhouse Iran men's volleyball team.
Considering that there is only one month away from the World Men's Volleyball League, the Chinese Men's Volleyball League may only choose to make way for it. Some fans said that although the Chinese Volleyball Association has not officially issued a notice, from the perspective of the tightness of the game time and schedule, the domestic men's volleyball league is likely to be cancelled. Originally this event was for the Chinese team not to participate in the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League warm-up training service, and now it has regained the ticket for the competition, and the training value of the domestic men's volleyball league is definitely not as good as the higher level of the World Men's Volleyball League. The reason why the Chinese men's volleyball team chose to participate in the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League is that on the one hand, the absence of the Russian men's volleyball team has led to vacancies.
On the other hand, the team needs to get more opportunities to compete with the world's top teams in the international arena to prepare for the 2022 Men's Volleyball World Championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games. In the eyes of the vast majority of fans, the cancellation of this year's Chinese Men's Volleyball Super League is a wise move, which can save athletes' physical fitness and energy, prevent injuries, and make the national team recharge and fully prepare for the battle, and strive to create good results in the World Men's Volleyball League. Some people even joked, "The Volleyball Association finally has the posture of vowing to promote the Chinese men's volleyball team to the world's first-class list"!
