Recently, the coaching staff of the national team summarized the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, and Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, put forward new requirements for the development of the national table tennis team. Although the specific summary content has not been announced to the public, the summary work definitely includes scoring and evaluation, and we can know one or two about the recent performance of National Table Ping.

For national team managers, there are definitely three aspects that need to be considered: major results, on-field command and team building.
The first is the results of the competition. The World Table Tennis Championships won all five championships, which can be said to be generally in line with expectations. If there are any matches that are not satisfactory, there may only be two, one is the women's singles 1/4 final, Wang Yidi lost to Japanese rising star Hina Hayada; The other was the women's doubles semifinal, in which the "seafood combination" Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu were swept out 0:3 by the South Korean pair Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin. Although the defeat of the two foreign battles did not affect the overall battle situation, it also made everyone feel that the national table tennis is not invulnerable.

The second is on-the-spot command. Take the above two games as an example. Wang Yidi outwhelmed her opponent Hina Hayata in the world rankings and past records, but failed to win with 9 match points during the match, in addition to the adjustment of competitive status and mentality, the guidance of off-field coaches is also an important factor. In the women's doubles competition, the seafood combination ranked first in the world, the opponent is weaker, and the 0:3 sweep is a matter of condition or preparation, and the coach has a greater responsibility.

The third is team building. At present, the Chinese men's and women's teams can be said to be full of talent. The combination of old, middle and young men's teams, veteran Ma Long sits, Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun of the middle generation are already worthy of the big task, and the new generation of Wang Chuqin has shown strong stability. The women's team has some problems, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are three-legged, in addition to Shasha's hot state, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi have all experienced ups and downs, and the results of recent matches have fluctuated greatly. And the world's sixth player Qian Tianyi of the middle generation is actually facing a situation where there is no ball to play, large competitions cannot be participated, and small competitions are not registered, such echelon construction is inevitably worrying.

It can be seen from the above three aspects that all the contradictions are in the women's team, and all the spearheads are pointed at one person: Marlene! As the head coach of the women's team, the two foreign games were lost in the women's team, and both games were directed by Ma Lin on the spot, and the echelon construction was also led by Ma Lin.
The "era" moment
In addition, a series of turmoil before and after the game also gave Marlene a headache. In the ITTF WTT match before the competition, Sasha was deeply caught in the rumors of letting Chen Meng give the ball. And Chen Meng's intra-team love scandal broke out at the beginning of the World Table Tennis Championships. After the game, the eliminated Wang Manyu said "I don't know" in an interview, which set off a huge storm. Just a few days ago, the news that Qian Tianyi quit the team and went abroad spread all over the place.
It can be imagined that Coach Ma must be under pressure now, and it is especially unknown whether he can get through the difficulties.

Do you think Marlene will always be the head coach of the women's team during the Paris Olympic cycle?
