After the 16-man list of the Chinese women's volleyball team to compete in the World Women's Volleyball League came out, Wu Mengjie, the star of hope, did not enter the list. Wu Mengjie is a very good new star in the league, and the fact that she did not enter the world league list this time is not a lack of strength, but it reflects Cai Bin's long-term thinking of using good steel to choose a degree on the blade.
Although Cai Bin served as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the beginning of the Paris Olympic cycle, due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games for one year, the time left for Cai Bin in the entire Paris Olympic cycle was actually less than three years. Time is pressing, Cai Bin not only needs to get the Chinese women's volleyball team out of the shadow of the failure of the Tokyo Olympic Games as soon as possible, but also to cultivate new talents for the Paris Olympic Games as soon as possible.
The 2022 World Women's Volleyball League, as Cai Bin's debut to re-coach the national team, Set a goal for himself, that is, to reach the quarterfinals and enter the finals. According to Cai Bin, it is necessary to maintain certain achievements and cultivate new talents. At present, due to the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, the main offensive line has become a weak link in the whole team, and it is particularly important to choose a suitable diagonal main attack for Li Yingying, which will determine the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the World League.
Looking at the main offensive candidates currently available in the Chinese women's volleyball team, in addition to Li Yingying, whether it is Wang Yunhua, Jin Ye and Wang Yizhu, their performance in the league is not as good as Wu Mengjie. Wu Mengjie has a very good potential, whether it is bouncing or arm span is the best among the women's volleyball players, and is considered to be the player who most resembles Zhu Ting. However, Wu Mengjie has not been good because of her injury in the National Games, and if she throws herself into a fierce competition too early to cause new injuries, it will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, Cai Bin made a trade-off between the results of the World League and the health of the players, in order to give Wu Mengjie more time to recover, Cai Bin finally chose Wang Yunhua, Jin Ye and Wang Yizhu, three players to partner with Li Yingying. Although there is almost no exercise in this way, it takes care of Wu Mengjie's health and is equivalent to protecting the newcomer. After all, Wang Yunrui, Jin Ye and Wang Yizhu are basically transitional players, and Wu Mengjie can find her place at any time after recovering.
The fact is also like this, Cai Bin also has long-term plans without Wu Mengjie. Because in 2022, Chinese women excluded the World League, there are also two competitions, the Asian Games and the World Championships, and Cai Bin also focused on the Asian Games and the World Championships. In particular, the World Championships are the touchstone that determines whether the new Chinese women's volleyball team can climb the peak again, and Cai Bin will focus on the World Championships. In the case of whether Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning can participate in the World Championships without success, the Chinese women's volleyball team must have a blockbuster flashpoint if it wants to make a breakthrough, and Wu Mengjie is the most explosive potential among the active players. The so-called good steel is used on the blade, Cai Bin did not choose Wu Mengjie to compete in the World League, just to let her better compete in the World Championships.
In fact, although Wu Mengjie did not enter the 16-man list of the World League, Cai Bin gave an explanation that there was another game task. This shows that Wu Mengjie is not unsuccessful, but hidden. As for what is the game mission? Including, of course, the World Championships.
