World League highlights in the Netherlands: Li Yingying led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win 3 consecutive victories How competitive is the Dutch new team

At 14:40 Beijing time today, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the Netherlands, the third opponent of the World League. The Chinese team is in high morale after losing Brazil and Germany in succession, and against the Netherlands, which have not yet won a game, it is normal to achieve three consecutive wins. The battle between China and the Netherlands mainly has two major highlights: first, whether the Chinese women's volleyball coach Cai Bin will give the substitutes more opportunities to fight; The second is how competitive the Dutch women's volleyball team is after the change of coach and lineup.

Compete with the Netherlands, the strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team is superior, whether the substitute players can win more opportunities

The Chinese and Dutch teams have performed very differently in this year's World League. China won two consecutive defeats against Brazil and Germany, and the Netherlands lost three consecutive battles to Germany, Brazil and Dominica. Judging from the performance of both sides in this World League, the overall competitiveness of the Chinese women's volleyball team is obviously better than that of the opponent, and it is not difficult to achieve three consecutive wins.

As the first team among the top to start the national team training, the main lineup in the minds of Chinese women's volleyball coach Cai Bin is very clear. In the first two games against Brazil and Germany, China sent the same starting lineup, and Germany did not change the whole time in the second game. Given the Netherlands' average competitiveness and a bitter battle with hosts Japan on Sunday, the match against the Netherlands is an opportunity for a moderate rotation of the Chinese squad.

Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, commanded on the spot

Whether in the club or the national team, Cai Bin has always been stubborn in the use of personnel, often playing a set of lineups to the end. Against the Netherlands, I think the Chinese team will not easily make adjustments in the starting lineup. The author believes that it is good that the main framework of a team is stable, but it is also necessary to give the substitutes opportunities in moderation. After the team has taken control of the game, it is necessary to take the initiative to try more personnel combinations, especially the players who implement key tactics should experience in actual combat.

Whether it is Xu Xiaoting and receiver Zheng Yixin, who bear the heavy responsibility of "two points for three points", Du Qingqing, the main attack as the main candidate for the change, or Zhonghui, the main attack who has not yet had the opportunity to play, they all need to undergo the polish of actual battle. Without enough actual combat accumulation, it is also difficult to blindly ask the substitutes to turn the tide of the battle at critical moments. After the main team is getting better, as long as the conditions allow, it is still necessary to provide the substitutes with opportunities to play as much as possible.

Can the Dutch easy coach stop the decline The main offensive line adjusts the "left-handed" Marin to take the position

Since the Tokyo cycle, the performance of the Dutch women's volleyball team has been declining, and both Morrison and Salinger Jr. have failed to lead the team to the desired height. The Netherlands changed coaches again this year, with former German women's volleyball coach Koslovski replacing Salinger Jr. who was physically ill. Following the retirement of Sloteyes, deputy De Cruyff and Berrien's farewell to the national team, captain Buigis also said that he will not play in the national team this year. Today's Dutch squad is unrecognizable from its peak. For new coach Koslovski, leading the team to halt the decline will not be easy.

In the absence of Buygis and Dahldrup, the Netherlands have made changes to their main attacking line in the first week of this year's World League. H. Jasper started the first match against Germany with Konolema, while the match against Brazil and the Dominican Republic was played by Marlene and Konolema. It is worth noting that the "left-handed" main attack Marin has shown good development potential. In the battle with the Netherlands, the Chinese team should give her priority care.

The Chinese women's volleyball team of the World League played well in the first two games, and the hair extensions and overall acceleration have improved significantly compared with last season, and the main players such as Li Yingying have also shown a better competitive state. Competing with the Netherlands, looking forward to the team achieving three consecutive wins, it can also create more practical opportunities for the substitutes!
