Recently, the Chinese badminton team hired foreign coaches Jiang Jingzhen and Liu Yongcheng, and recalled senior coach Li Mao. Badminton star Han Jian said in an interview with Malaysian media about this matter, "When the Chinese team invites foreign coaches, the Chinese team can return to the peak." ”
Han Jian, born in 1956 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, is a Chinese male badminton player who has the title of "cowhide candy" in the badminton world because of his unique stubborn defensive playing style; in the 1980s, he was also known as the "Four Heavenly Kings" of Chinese badminton along with Yang Yang, Zhao Jianhua and Xiong Guobao. During his time with the Chinese national badminton team, Han Jian won the Men's Singles World Badminton Championships and the Badminton World Cup twice, and was a major member of the Chinese team to win the 1982 and 1986 Thomas Cups. After retiring, he was the coach of the Malaysian national badminton team for eight years, during which time he led the Malaysian team to win the 1992 Thomas Cup.
After leaving the Malaysian national team, Han Jian is currently the head coach of the Malaysian Badminton Training Center, dedicated to cultivating and training a new generation of badminton players.
Han Jian believes that the Chinese badminton team has long been the king, and the innovation ability will become worse, because the victory covers up many problems, "and the globalization of badminton has developed rapidly for decades, and many Chinese, Indonesian, and Korean coaches have moved around the world and exchanged." ”
At the same time, Han Jian also recalled what happened to the Chinese national team many years ago, when he had talked to the coach of the women's team about some technical problems, which Han Jian thought was not reasonable. The coach's answer was "I've practiced like this and won."" At that time, Han Jian replied that it was because the opponent was too weak to see the problem. You are currently in the lead is not that you run fast but you run first, if one day everyone is on the same starting line, the same conditions can see who is good and who is bad, of course, they can't listen. Because 7 of the top 8 women's singles in the UK that year were from China. They also proudly say it's like a national competition in China. ”
Huang Zonghan
At the same time, Han Jian also broke the news that the Chinese badminton team had previously contacted Huang Zonghan to become a coach, "I remember that last year, when Zonghan (Huang Zonghan, the current head coach of Da Ma Yu) went to chat in front of Yu Zong, I said that if the Chinese team invited foreign coaches, that is to say that China can regain its strength." Zonghan was surprised to say that the Chinese side had contacted him to go to China as a coach. ”
Han Jian feels that Chinese badminton is seeking change, and Li Mao's return will bring new ideas to the training of Chinese badminton teams, "which shows that China has recognized the problem." In search of change. This change is positive and makes people happy. Li Yu has been coaching in South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia, and his arrival is sure to bring new opportunities to traditional Chinese training methods. Whether Li Mao and the South Korean coach can help the Chinese team achieve good results in the Olympic Games. But this historic change, coupled with the original system, will make China a badminton power again. ”
