The 2023 Women's World Volleyball League is in full swing, seeing her former teammates, good sisters Li Yingying, Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuying, etc., all heroic, lively, and passionately competing in the arena, killing all sides and winning consecutive battles. At this moment, after half a season of playing soy sauce in the Serie A Women's Volleyball League, failed to renew her contract, is returning to China to adjust her recuperation and leisure at home, and has no ball to play, the former national women's volleyball beauty second setter Yao Di must be empty in her heart, and a little helpless.
Then see her senior sister, Wei Qiuyue, the former Chinese women's volleyball captain who is also the second setter of the beauty, is carrying out volleyball promotion activities in Hong Kong as an Olympic champion, a well-known successful star, and a volleyball professional, guiding Hong Kong men's and women's volleyball and teenagers to play ball hand-in-hand, and cheering on the spot to help the Chinese women's volleyball team in Hong Kong to match with strong players, Yao Di must be full of reverence and envy, and he is somewhat lonely in his heart.
Many fans who love to support the beautiful Yao Di, especially the fanatical fans of her hometown Jinyu, are very looking forward to it, and have issued an online appeal that Yao Di can be called up by head coach Cai Bin to join the Chinese women's volleyball team again, play on the field with her teammates and sisters, play for the country together, and strive for glory.
So, can the beautiful setter Yao Di get the favor of "Little Zhuge" Cai Bin, put on the national team shirt again, and compete in the world women's volleyball arena with a sassy and heroic posture?
Based on the current situation of Yao Di himself and the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is basically safe to say that the possibility of Yao Di joining the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Cai Bin is almost impossible, and the probability of joining the team is basically zero.
At the root of this, this outcome is mainly determined by Yao Di's own decisions, the needs of the team and the room for development improvement, and the possibility of change is infinitely close to zero.
First, put yourself in the wrong position, have a negative attitude, and will no longer be treated by the exclusion association.
After the defeat and disbandment of the women's volleyball team at the Tokyo Olympics, Cai Bin was appointed as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Paris Olympic cycle, and began to reorganize the new national team. The Chinese Volleyball Association and head coach Cai Bin issued invitations to all athletes in the current training and selection. However, Yao Di followed the pace of world-class big-name star Zhu Ting and others, and on the grounds of recovering from injury, he tactfully rejected the sincerity of the volleyball association and head coach Cai Bin, and did not sign up for the training selection. This is actually her own choice to give up the opportunity to join the new national women's volleyball team.
Unlike Zhu Ting's irreplaceable and indispensable, capital and the Volleyball Association and Cai Bin's head coach to wrestle wrists and negotiate conditions, Yao Di's personal decision is obviously wrong to overestimate his own value, put it in the right position, and is irrational and wrong.
Originally as the main setter substitute during the "Lang Family Army" period, and with the help of the absolute core of the current "Cai Family Army", superstar Li Yingying, and the two main deputy attack Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuyi is a club teammate, many years with the advantage of skilled tacit understanding, Yao Di's selection into the national team may be a choice that the Volleyball Association and Cai Zhi can not refuse, but Yao Di has a negative attitude and takes the initiative to give up, then it is no wonder that the Volleyball Association is not welcome, Cai Bin head coach just pushes the boat along the water, do not choose to use. It can be said that Yao Di's own unwise decision, he closed the door to enter the national team, and he really couldn't complain about others.
Second, the passing rate is slow, the technical characteristics are incompatible with the current national team, and it is difficult to re-enter the head coach Cai Bin's "legal eye".
After head coach Cai Bin took charge of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the tactical play emphasized "fast-based", requiring attackers in all positions to speed up, seize the rhythm, and according to the principle of "the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken", disrupt the opponent's blocking and defensive deployment through rapid attack, strive for the initiative, and win the victory. Therefore, when selecting players, under the premise of comprehensive basic skills, emphasis is placed on both height and speed and flexibility.
As the "middle frame brain" of the team, the core of command and dispatch of on-the-spot operations, setters have a more important and prominent role in the "fast-based" tactical system. To pass the ball fast and with a flat arc, it must also be in the right position and stand firmly with the ball head.
Therefore, even if Diao Linyu's stability is slightly poor at the beginning, her passing rhythm is fast, and she mostly uses jump pass arc flat. It is not because of the relationship with the head coach, but the need for the tactical play system, which naturally becomes the main setter of the first lineup.
Through the first stage of the competition, it can also be seen that after nearly two years of intensive training and competition tempering, Diao Linyu gave the main attacker Li Yingying and Wang Yunlu the second and fourth positions to open flatly, and the adjustment of the difficult ball, the fast pace is obvious, and basically in place, while the ball fed to the second position Gong Xiangyu significantly lowered the arc and accelerated the speed, so that the attacker can use speed to grab and cleverly avoid the opponent's high blocking, effectively making up for the weakness of insufficient strength to catch the ball. Especially with the speedball cooperation of the deputy attack Wang Yuyi, it is even more eye-catching, almost like entering the realm, so fast that it is dizzying and beautiful to the eye. In the four games, Wang Yuyi repeatedly raised and fell with her hands and moved the enemy without blood, becoming another offensive scoring blade in addition to the Chinese women's elimination of the big killer Li Yingying.
On the other hand, Yao Di's technical characteristics, although after many years of club and national team combat tempering, good passing stability is her advantage, but the passing speed is slow, the arc is large, most of them are standing and passing the ball, which is also her technical characteristics, which can play a role in the national team and Tianjin team with high and high super strong main attack and reception, because of the existence of Zhu Ting, Li Yingying, Vargas these world-class attackers, even if the national team at that time was mainly Zhang Changning, substitute Liu Yanhan, Liu Xiaotong can also play high points and slow pace strong attacks. Without emphasizing speed, the offensive scoring role of the secondary attack in the Tianjin team is not high or much.
Now that the national team, including Li Yingying, has carried out and successfully completed the suitable transformation in accordance with the "fast-oriented" tactical system of head coach Cai Bin, Yao Di obviously has no position, and it is difficult to appear in the sight of Cai's guidance and selection of generals.
Third, the age is older, the advantage is no longer, there is no room for improvement, and the door of the national team cannot be opened again.
Diao Linyu is 29 years old and Yao Di is 31 years old, obviously in the case of their own technical characteristics and can not be integrated into the team's tactical system, Yao Di, who is older than the main setter, is selected to join the team and serve Diao Linyu as a substitute, which is obviously not in line with the interests of the team and is not conducive to the development of the women's volleyball team. Therefore, head coach Cai Bin chose Xu Xiaoting, who is 25 years old, 1.83 meters tall and also has the characteristics of fast passing, to join the team as a substitute setter, which is also the right age to serve as the main setter of the women's volleyball team at the Los Angeles Olympics in five years. Judging from Xu Xiaoting's performance on the bench several times, especially the effect of matching with the attacker's pass, it proves that she is a good candidate, a young and excellent setter with a lot of room for development and great training value.
To sum up, Yao Di can no longer enter the national team, there are both his own reasons and the objective requirements of the team, there is no "regional theory" and "cronyism"!
It is hoped that all fans of the national women's volleyball team will abandon prejudice, stop "regional black", and jointly cheer for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
I wish the beautiful Yao Di a happy and more beautiful life!
I wish the second stage of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Hong Kong, successive victories, and greater surprises for Chinese fans and more joy in watching the game!
