The Women's World Volleyball League is about to start, and in the next month, the Chinese women's volleyball team will have 12 games. The first is to help the subsequent Olympic qualification and Asian Games adjust the status, and the second is to try to ensure the world ranking and strive to directly get the Paris Olympic spot. From this, it is enough to see that this World League needs full attention. However, in the officially announced World League squad, there is still no Zhu Ting, and she once again refused to return to the national team, what is the intention?
According to Xinhua News Agency and other official media reports, the reason why Zhu Ting did not return to the national team to participate in training was the impact of a wrist injury, and in order to better recover, she temporarily did not return to the national team. At this time, the Serie A club Scandicci she joined just officially announced the renewal of her contract. In this contrast, Zhu Ting began to be questioned a lot. We all know that the Chinese women's volleyball team is different from the past, the strength of each position is obviously declining, several people in the main offensive line have obvious shortcomings, and fans have been looking forward to the return of Zhang Changning and Zhu Ting for a long time.
At present, Zhang Changning is basically on the verge of retirement due to personal problems, but he still gets a lot of verbal criticism. Now, Zhu Ting can still and Scandicci, the salary once again set the Chinese women's volleyball record in the ocean, proving that she has enough competitive level on the field, naturally can not escape the "trial" of public opinion.
So why is Zhu Ting delaying her return? Can't even train with the team? On this issue, I would like to share with you a few points.
First of all, whether it is Zhu Ting's personal statement, or the public statement of the Chinese Volleyball Association and Cai Bin's head coach, it is all to express Zhu Ting's willingness to return, but the injury to her wrist makes her have to choose to delay her return. From this point of view, although it seems to be polite, it can also be clear that Zhu Ting is not avoiding returning to the national team.
Secondly, from the perspective of status, Zhu Ting has won MVP in Serie A for many games, and her strength is good, which makes her complete the contract extension. However, throughout the season, Zhu Ting's form has been up and down, and injuries have definitely had an impact. And observing meticulous friends, it was also found that Zhu Ting's smashes would adopt a fist posture, and she was indeed intentionally protecting her wrists, and it can be said that she has been showing injuries all the time. From this point of view, Zhu Ting's wrist injury is a fact.
Looking at it, from the perspective of the intensity of the game, Scandicci Club is not Zhu Ting's alone, and her pressure is not as great as in the national team. Moreover, the Serie A schedule is very spaced, which allows Zhu Ting to easily adapt and recover the intensity while playing. On the other hand, on the national team's side, not only the schedule is tight, but also the training intensity is greater, and two or three training a day is what will happen.
Finally, the biggest question, since there is an injury, why can't you rest easy and wait for a complete recovery before playing? This may be due to the maintenance of status. The peak of an athlete's career is actually a few years, and after that there is no shop in this village. As a result, the world's top athletes seek to maintain the feeling of play. Zhu Ting should also have this consideration. In addition, athletes are now different from the past, no longer give up everything for the national team, you can consider yourself a little more, Zhu Ting has reached the end of her career, choose to reduce the burden on her body, maintain a longer career, it is understandable.
In short, it is still that sentence, Zhu Ting cannot return to the national team immediately, which is indeed a pity. However, athletes have their own choices and must be respected, and whether there is a contradiction with the volleyball association is now only a "conspiracy theory" speculation. Let's talk about a cruel fact, even if Zhu Ting returns, it will be difficult for the current Chinese women's volleyball team to have much breakthrough results. It is better to give up illusions, let more new people get exercised, and reserve more hope for the future.
