On July 30, former world champion Guo Yan revealed that Liu Guozheng, the head of the coaching team of the national table tennis men's team, had left the coaching team and gone to Tsinghua University as a teacher.
Liu Guozheng, as the leader of the national table tennis coaching team, is the second person in the men's team coaching team, during the "fluctuation" of the national table tennis coaching team from 2017 to 2018, he was responsible for the national table tennis men's team, dedicated and conscientious, did not let the champion of the competition fall by the wayside, and made important contributions to the national table tennis.
After Liu Guoliang returned to take charge of the Table Tennis Association, the coaching team changed, Qin Zhijian returned as the head coach of the men's team, Liu Guozheng "retreated to the second seat", was the leader of the coaching team of the men's first team, at the same time, the main player in charge, Wang Chuqin, was once banned for his disciple wrestling.
At present, the national table tennis is training in Chengdu, preparing for the world championship team competition that starts in September, at this time, Liu Guozheng left his job, really quite suddenly.
When the national table tennis prepared for the Paris Olympic Games, Liu Guozheng chose to leave his job, which really made people feel very surprised. After he left the coaching staff, the men's team in addition to Qin Zhijian, there are Wang Hao, Liu Heng, Cui Qinglei, etc., a huge national table tennis team, on these coaches, it is difficult to meet the needs, look at the championship Qin Zhijian guidance full of white hair, chairman of the table tennis association Liu Guoliang, it is time to exert force.
Enriching the coaching staff early should be a "must-answer question". The manager generally does not directly supervise a certain disciple, and after Liu Guozheng left under the guidance of Liu Guozheng, Wang Chuqin became a player without a coaching team. Looking at the previous experience of Liu Shiwen, Sun Yingsha and other players, there is no special head coach, which is a serious disadvantage that outweighs the benefits.
Wang Chuqin, don't be free-range! From the Paris Olympic Games, two years, the national table tennis coaching staff coach is unstable, change a new coach, the players need to adapt to a period of time, frequent changes, which is not friendly to the overall preparation, is not a friendly existence.
Since 2019, due to various reasons, the national table tennis coaching team has been constantly changing, Chen Bin, Zhang Qin, Guo Yan, Huang Haicheng, Chen Xuan, Liu Guozheng, etc., have left their posts, making the coaching team that was not rich in the original more stretched.
Rumors about Liu Guozheng and Wang Hao leaving the coaching staff were as early as March, and later, Wang Hao came out to refute the rumors, while Liu Guozheng did not speak out, during the Weihai training, Liu Guozheng guided and participated with the team, during which he also personally wrapped rice dumplings and spent the Dragon Boat Festival.
The coaching staff of the national table tennis men's team needs to be supplemented and improved. Next, Chairman Liu of the Table Tennis Association should exert his wisdom and talents to accelerate the construction of the strengthening of the coaching team.
