No new recruits! The lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team in South Korea remains unchanged, and the team is trained with the World Championship + Olympic champions
On June 26, the Chinese women's volleyball team announced the list of 14 players to compete in the South Korean stage of the Women's World Volleyball League. Compared with the previous two stations, the lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team has not changed this time. The Chinese women's volleyball team will face the world champion Serbia and the Tokyo Olympic champion the United States in South Korea, and temper the team by playing against strong teams.
From June 27 to July 2, the 2023 Women's World Volleyball League will play in the third week of Suwon, South Korea. In this competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against Serbia, Dominica, South Korea and the United States. According to the latest 14-member list released by the Chinese women's volleyball team, there is no difference from the lineup of the previous two stations. Among them, the main attackers are Li Yingying, Wang Yunwei, Zhonghui, Du Qingqing; The secondary attacks are Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Yang Hanyu, and Gao Yi; Received Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin; second setter Diao Linyu, Xu Xiaoting; Free people: Wang Mengjie, Ni Xuanwei.
In the previous two matches of the Women's World Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranking fourth. In the last two matches, the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered consecutive defeats. The team's performance was affected by various factors and they were unable to perform at the level of the first stop. Head coach Cai Bin said in an interview that many people in the team are now injured. Including Li Yingying, Gong Xiangyu and Wang Yuanyuan, all have injuries.
When the outside world believed that the Chinese women's volleyball team would make some adjustments in the lineup of the Korean station, including recruiting Wu Mengjie and Duan Fang into the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's volleyball team still chose to use the original team to continue to compete in the Korean station. Compared with the previous two stations, the opponent's strength has been enhanced, and the lineup is more neat. Among them, the world champion Serbia women's volleyball team did not send the main team to play before. Coming to the third stop, the Serbian women's volleyball team recalled a number of main players, including the best main attacker Boskovic. The U.S. women's volleyball team also brought Robinson, Bayema, Plummer and Thompson back. This is basically the main lineup of the US women's volleyball team to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
On the one hand, the Serbian women's volleyball team needs to ensure the qualification of the World Women's Volleyball League Finals, and the US women's volleyball team also needs to train the main team through the competition; On the one hand, the Chinese women's volleyball team still hopes to temper the existing lineup through the competition. The Chinese women's volleyball team will also play in South Korea when its strength and state are not as good as that of the Serbian women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team. In the case of unbalanced power balance between the two sides, the Chinese women's volleyball team can calm down and train the team through the competition to find the gap with the world's strong teams. It is believed that this is also the goal of Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The schedule of the Chinese team at Suwon, South Korea, is as follows:
June 28, 18:00 Chinese women's volleyball team VS Serbia women's volleyball team
