On September 23, the 2022 World Women's Volleyball Championship will kick off in Poland, and the Chinese women's volleyball team in Beilun will have a "gender war" with the Zhejiang men's volleyball team on September 15 to make the final warm-up for the expedition. With the end of this warm-up game, the main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team is also basically determined, and Wang Mengjie, a free person who missed this year's national league, not only returned to sight, but also if there is no accident, it will once again enter the main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team. At the same time, the FIVB launched the top 7 stars worthy of attention at the Women's Volleyball World Championship on September 13, and Li Yingying of the Chinese team was listed among them.

The FIVB pushed 7 stars, and Li Yingying was on the list

On September 13, the FIVB updated the schedule of the Women's Volleyball World Championship and launched the top 7 stars worthy of attention at the World Championship, led by Italian star Egnu.

According to the schedule, the opening match of the Women's Volleyball World Championship will be held at 6 p.m. local time on September 23 (00:00 Beijing time on September 24) in Arnhem, the Netherlands, and the two sides will be Poland and Croatia, one of the hosts. Two hours later, another host, the Netherlands, will host a match against Kenya. The first match of the Chinese team will start at 8 pm Beijing time on September 25, against Argentina from South America.

Li Yingying, recommended star of the FIVB

The Chinese women's volleyball team is divided into Group D, and the opponents in the same group are Argentina, Colombia, Japan, Czech Republic and Brazil in chronological order. From the perspective of opponent strength, there is no doubt that the first team is the Brazilian team, followed by the Japanese team, and the other three teams are normally under the Chinese team. Since a total of 4 of the 6 teams in the group can advance to the second stage of the competition, that is, the round of 16, so with the strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there is no suspense in the group, and if there is no accident, the ranking is most likely to be the second or third in the group.

In fact, for stronger teams, the group stage of the first stage can basically be called "warm-up game", and everyone can find the feeling of the game through the group stage on the one hand, on the other hand, to hone the lineup and prepare for the next higher level of competition. In the eyes of the FIVB, the World Championship is not only a stage for the strong teams to show their strength, but also a platform for related stars to show their abilities. The first noteworthy star promoted by the FIVB World Championship is Italy's Egnu. In fact, it was at the last World Championships in 2018 that Egnu began to show his strength and eventually led the Italian team to runner-up.

Egnu, the number one concern

The FIVB has launched a total of 7 stars worth paying attention to, with Li Yingying from China on the list. This is not the first time that the FIVB is optimistic about Li Yingying, after this year's national league, the FIVB has written an article saying that Li Yingying will become a new star in China's main position. The other five stars recommended at the same time as Egnu and Li Yingying are Serbia's Boskovic, Brazil's Gabi, The United States' Drus, Turkey's Karakurt and Japan's Koga Sarina.

The Chinese women's volleyball team will go out and Wang Mengjie will return

After the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Mengjie once disappeared from people's sight in the criticism, and this year's women's volleyball national league, which appeared in the position of free man, was also Wang Weiyi and Ni Feifan. However, on September 15, the warm-up match between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Zhejiang men's volleyball team, the one who appeared in the position of the main free man, has become Wang Mengjie. In fact, about Wang Mengjie, the outside world should say that there are many misreadings, after the fiasco of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, many people pointed the spearhead at Wang Mengjie. As everyone knows, the defeat of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Tokyo can be said to be the result of the joint action of many factors, and the play of many players can be said to have not reached the normal level. In such a context, it is unfair to point the spearhead of criticism too much at Wang Mengjie. You know, just in the 2019 World Cup, Wang Mengjie is still the best free person, and his ability can be said to have been tested by the competition. Therefore, from this point of view, Wang Mengjie, after a period of silence, returned to people's attention and appeared in the main lineup again, which is also expected.

Wang Mengjie, back in sight

Due to the absence of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, it has been decided that the Chinese women's volleyball team cannot compete in this year's World Championships with the best team. For head coach Cai Bin, this is also a reality that he has to face. And, if nothing else, this will even be a dilemma he will have to face for a long time. Regarding the absence of these two star players, the current reasons are concentrated on injuries, but there are various indications that injuries may not be all the reasons for the two to be absent from the national team for so long. Hopefully time can dilute everything and solve everything.

Judging from the warm-up of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Zhejiang men's volleyball team, Cai Bin's main offensive thinking with Li Yingying as the core will not change, and Wang Yunruo, who has undergone the baptism of the national league, will become the diagonal of Li Yingying. At the same time, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu, two star players who have experienced the rio and Tokyo Olympic Games, will remain the "main backbone" of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Because of her age, Ding Xia has gradually given way to the young Diao Linyu and become the main force of the Chinese team. Wang Yuanyuan, who played up and down during the national league, will still be fully trusted in terms of her value and role in front of the net. Wang Mengjie's return to the free man position may change the unstable problem of the Chinese women's volleyball team exposed during the national league.
