On the evening of July 23, Beijing time, the WTT Championship officially came to an end, the women's singles, Wang Manyu won the championship, Wang Yidi lost Yu Rong and won the second place, and Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng won the third place. Compared with the big victory of the national table tennis women's team, the national table tennis men's team lost to Budapest, and all 4 players who participated in the championship tournament lost, and Lin Gaoyuan missed 6 match points in the final, losing the men's singles championship, and after the game, he was even more tearful.
This championship is the highest level international event after the Grand Slam in March this year, and four players from the men's national table tennis team have been invited to participate, namely Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan. Fan Zhendong, the world number one in the men's singles world, did not participate, staying in China to prepare for the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships in September, Fan Zhendong's absence also added variables to the prospects of the national table tennis men's team in this championship.
Before the national table tennis team was sent to Budapest, Qin Zhijian, as the head coach of the national table tennis men's team, said: "Despite Fan Zhendong's absence, the goal of the national table tennis men's team to enter the European summer series is still to win the championship. At this time, looking back at Qin Zhijian's bold words before the game, there was indeed a feeling of punching his face.
The European Summer Series is divided into three events, namely the Star Challenge, the Side Line Tournament and the Championship Tournament, its Chinese men's table tennis team Wang Chuqin won the Star Challenge Championship, Lin Shidong won the side event championship, but the national table tennis men's team lost the championship in the highest level championship, which is indeed a pity. Among them, Wang Chuqin lost 2-3 to Swedish veteran Carlson in the first round, suffering a round of travel; Malone lost 2-3 to German veteran Francesca in the quarter-finals, the first time the Dragons lost to Francesca in their careers; With four match points in the quarter-finals, Liang Jingkun lost 2-3 to Chinese Taipei's Zhuang Zhiyuan. It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned 3 eliminated national table tennis players are all guided by Qin Zhijian.
So far, the 4 people invited to participate in the national table tennis men's team are only Lin Gaoyuan to advance to the final four of the championship, and everyone has given high hopes to Lin Gaoyuan, and it is in the men's singles final on the evening of the 23rd, presumably all fans know the result, Lin Gaoyuan led 3-0 in the big score, and even in the 6th set to lead 10-5 and 9-4 in the decider, finally let Zhang Benzhihe complete a shocking reversal and lose the men's singles championship.
The rout of the national table tennis men's team in the championship, as the head coach of the national table tennis men's team, Qin Zhijian is indeed responsible for the main responsibility, and many fans have questioned that Qin Zhijian has no passion in the guidance process, and it is difficult for the national table tennis players to play an emotional mobilization role. It should be known that when Liu Guoliang was the head coach of the Chinese men's team, as long as the national table tennis players won a point, Liu Guoliang would wave his fists and roar to cheer for the disciples, which to a certain extent could indeed make the team members increase their excitement in the game, and Qin Zhijian did do a long way from Liu Guoliang in this regard.
Qin Zhijian is 46 years old this year, in fact, his performance in the athlete period is very average, the most prominent achievement is to win the 1994 Table Tennis World Cup men's team championship, in the singles did not take the results. When he retired as a coach at the age of 29, Qin Zhijian achieved average results during his time as an athlete, and it was also the place where he was criticized by the outside world after he became a head coach. However, after Qin Zhijian took over the national table tennis men's team, Ma Long became the dinghai god needle among the men's team, and the young Fan Zhendong gradually matured, which also made Qin Zhijian's position very stable.
Now in this championship match, the problems of the national table tennis men's team have been exposed at a glance, Ma Long's age has gradually increased, the stability has gradually weakened, fan Zhendong is absent, the national table tennis men's team still lacks a person who can stabilize the military's heart, so that Qin Zhijian's call for class is getting higher and higher. It should be known that in the men's singles final of the championship match, Dong Qimin, as Zhang Benzhihe's off-field coach, is Qin Zhijian's former teammate, and Zhang Benzhihe's strong victory also made Dong Qimin famous in one battle, and Dong Qimin and Qin Zhijian formed a sharp contrast.
In fact, the loss of the national table tennis team is not terrible, but when the team members encounter the match point many times and cannot win the game, it explains a lot of problems, and at this time, the huge role of the coach is reflected, so for the current Qin Zhijian, the national table tennis men's team defeated Budapest, which has sounded the alarm bell for it.
