There is still more than a month to go before the start of the World Championships, the preparation of the Chinese women's volleyball team has also entered the countdown, after the inspection and run-in of the World Women's Volleyball League, the main lineup in Cai Bin's guidance mind has also begun to take shape. However, in the position of free man, whether it is Wang Weiyi or Ni Feifan, the performance during the World League is not a small gap with expectations, in this case, the main free man of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the last Olympic cycle, Wang Mengjie, the main free man, the call for return to the national team is getting higher and higher, once Wang Mengjie returns, this will mean that Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan, only one person can stay in the national team.
In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, in the position of a free man, Lin Li gradually lost the main position, and was replaced by Wang Mengjie, who was in the year of the fight. Realistically speaking, Wang Mengjie had a highlight moment in the national team, especially in the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team was able to win the championship with an unbeaten record of 11 consecutive wins, Wang Mengjie is one of the main heroes of the team, and she also undisputedly won the best free person in this event. However, since then, Wang Mengjie's state has taken a sharp turn, including last year's World League, and the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Mengjie has not been able to play the standard during the World Cup, and she has also been questioned a lot.
After Cai Bin took office, although Wang Mengjie was selected for the first national team training list, he did not enter the world league lineup, and the explanation given by Cai Bin's guidance was that Wang Mengjie's state in training did not reach the best. Cai Bin's guidance chose Wang Weiyi, Ni Feifan and Xu Jiannan in this position. In addition to the newcomer Xu Jiannan, who was selected for the national team for the first time, during the World Women's Volleyball League, Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan both got a large number of opportunities to play, but from the actual effect, the performance of the two in the World League was not as amazing as in the Volleyball Super League, especially when playing against the strong team, Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan's ups and downs on the field were relatively large, and did not play the role of the sea god needle in the league.
Although the World League is a stage for Cai Bin to examine the team members and run-in lineup after taking office, the performance of players on the field is also an important reference for him to formulate the world championship list. Because the format of the World Championship is completely different from the World League, the victory or defeat of each game will have a decisive impact on the promotion situation, so for each team, the room for error is relatively small, in this case, the Chinese women's volleyball team needs to make adjustments in the position of free people, using Wang Mengjie, who has more experience in international competitions, is more logical, although in the national team downturn for a period of time, it cannot be denied that At this stage, Wang Mengjie is still one of the top free people in China.
Once Wang Mengjie returns to the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin's guidance needs to choose between Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan. From the perspective of the play during the league and the world league, Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan can be said to be indistinguishable, and it is difficult for Cai Bin to make a choice through the play of technical links. However, from the perspective of cultivation value, Wang Weiyi was born in June 1995, the same age as Wang Mengjie, and Ni Feifan was born in 2001, it is obvious that Ni Feifan is more dominant in age, because Wang Weiyi's players of this age group, the technology has been completely fixed, it is difficult to have obvious improvement, and Ni Feifan still has a lot of room for progress, and the future training value is higher.
And more importantly, Ni Feifan is a young player who was pulled up by one hand during Cai Bin's guidance and coaching of the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, so Cai Bin guidance is more familiar with its technical characteristics, and it will be more handy to use, and Ni Feifan also has a better understanding of the tactical play style guided by Cai Bin. Ni Feifan's biggest problem now is that in the face of a strong jump serve, it will appear more flustered, there is no too good way to deal with it, which is also related to the lack of players with strong jumping technology in China, after all, in the volleyball super league has not encountered a strong jump serve, to the international arena, to adapt in a short period of time, it is indeed a bit difficult to be strong.
