Editor's Words
Every athlete who wins glory for the country deserves our respect, and the coach is also an indispensable contribution and a hero in the sports world! But Wei Jizhong is an exception to this. He is the "father of the Olympic industry" among the population, but also the "sports villain" among the population.
Forced Chen Zhonghe away, squeezed out Lang Ping, and suppressed Liu Guoliang. Today, at the age of 87, he is still active in the world of sports, leaving people with controversy and conflict.
He himself also claimed to have been working in this industry, but he did not know that his name had already become a joke in the mouths of netizens, and they shouted: "Why is he still alive?" ”
It used to be an idol in everyone's mind
He has held important positions in the International Volleyball Federation, the Asian Volleyball Association and the Chinese Olympic Committee. It was thanks to the joint efforts of him and his colleagues in the Olympic Committee that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games were successfully held.
From this point of view, Wei Jizhong can be said to be an idol in everyone's mind, but in his later years, he was notorious, and the reason why he ended up like this in the end must start with the women's volleyball team and the national table tennis.
The six major players of the Chinese women's volleyball team must be able to say their names without thinking, Lang Ping, Zhu Ting, Hui Ruoqi, etc., these people have witnessed the glory that the Chinese women's volleyball team has experienced.
But the game is very brutal, no one, no team can be at the top all the time, there will always be times when it falls into the trough.
Among the many factors that contributed to the downturn, some human factors are even more infuriating. In the long development of Chinese sports, although Wei Jizhong is a veteran figure of Chinese sports, netizens are critical when mentioning this name.
Forced Chen Zhonghe away
The Chinese women's volleyball team has been much worse than before since 01, and in order to reverse this situation, the Chinese Volleyball Association has made a major decision. The appointment of Chen Zhonghe as the head coach of the women's volleyball team is strongly supported by the fans.
Chen Zhonghe is the perfect candidate in the hearts of fans, and they have always felt that Chen Zhonghe understands the spirit of the women's team and believes that he can bring the declining Chinese women's volleyball team back to the top.
Since he became coach, various reforms have also begun to be implemented drastically, and he has decided to remove some veterans who cannot continue training and are not as flexible as before, and bring in some players with passion and ability.
Chen Zhonghe's reforms also caused a lot of criticism at that time. Even a small group of fans who had been optimistic about him began to wonder if they believed him too much. But most people still believe in his strength and see the deep meaning behind his reforms.
When everything was getting better and better, and he was about to get on track, Chen Zhonghe suddenly left. And this was because Chen Zhonghe inadvertently offended Wei Jizhong .
Out of selfishness, he wanted to squeeze Chen Zhonghe away. But at that time, Chen Zhonghe was immersed in training the women's volleyball team, and he didn't know anything about Wei Jizhong's idea.
Chen Zhonghe devoted himself to training, and after Chen Zhonghe's training and the unremitting efforts of the players, he led the women's volleyball team to win the international championship in his first year in office.
This achievement is enough to prove Chen Zhonghe's strength, and it has also made the outside world's doubts stop a lot, but Wei Jizhong is the exception, he is not optimistic about Chen Zhonghe, Wei Jizhong even said: "As long as there is still a place for Chen Zhonghe in the Chinese sports world, it will not be good!" ”
His remarks pushed Coach Chen into the limelight. And at that time, Chen Zhonghe had already proved his strength with the women's volleyball team championship, so no matter what Wei Jizhong said, Chen Zhonghe's strength was obvious to everyone.
Chen Zhonghe also has a scale in his heart, and he knows very well that a championship is not the end, and when to win the championship of the three major competitions, so that everyone can completely rest assured of themselves.
He continued to lead the team to train, and the Chinese women's volleyball players during that time could really make people test the figure of the old women's volleyball players. The spirit of not giving up every ball, not sticking to the last minute, reappeared in them.
The victory of the women's volleyball competition in 03 seems to tell everyone that the once proud women's volleyball team really returned, and then in the Athens final in 04, it reversed and won, and it really announced to the world that the Chinese women's volleyball team is back to the top of the world.
Therefore, fans call them the "golden generation", which is enough to show their excellence. Achieving success is a relatively easy thing, but it is very difficult to stay successful and stay ahead of the curve. At that time, the team was still facing a lack of talent, and core players were frequently plagued by injuries.
Last time, Wei Jizhong did not succeed in squeezing out Chen Zhonghe, and for a long time after that, Wei Jizhong has been looking for opportunities. Until the competition of the Beijing Olympics, Wei Jizhong gave a reason to play on the topic.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the domestic women's volleyball team was very optimistic and felt that they were very likely to win the championship again. However, it lost to the US women's volleyball team led by Lang Ping in the game and won the third place.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Chen Zhonghe did not lead the women's volleyball team to the championship, once again pushing him to the cusp. The momentum was so great that uninformed people thought that Mr. Chen seemed to be exhausted.
Wei Jizhong also took this opportunity to obstruct him, and was bound to remove Chen Zhonghe's position. In order to let his fellow countryman Cai Bin do this position, Wei Jizhong even said to Chen Zhonghe: "Cai Bin will definitely play better than you."
Under the recommendation of Wei Jizhong, Cai Bin was successfully elected as the new head coach of the women's volleyball team. Chen Zhong and the meritorious coach had to leave the stadium sadly in 2009.
I thought it would be a new beginning, but I didn't expect it to be the darkest moment of the women's volleyball team.
The women's volleyball team, under the leadership of Cai Bin, directly fell to the trough in the trough, and also broke the lowest point in the history of the women's volleyball team, losing four important games in a row, and even creating the worst result in history at the Grand Prix, the fifth in the world, becoming the top three.
How bad is the women's volleyball team under his leadership? Simply put, you can lose four by playing five games. Netizens couldn't sit down on this phenomenon, and commented one after another: "Hurry up and invite Chen Zhong and Coach Chen back!" ”
Wei Jizhong also sensed that the development of the momentum was a little beyond expectations, and was afraid that he would really invite Chen Zhonghe back, and he bore the brunt of Cai Bin's siege: "The current results may be a little unsatisfactory, I can understand everyone's mood, our purpose is to let the women's volleyball team return to the peak, but there must always be a process, I hope everyone can give Cai Bin two years to adapt and grow, and there will be results after two years." ”
But netizens don't buy his account, Chen Zhonghe can bring out the golden generation, to Cai Bin here is so bad. Discerning people know how to choose as soon as they see it.
Cai Bin was also frightened by the various objections of netizens, and before others could take action, he took the initiative to resign as the head coach of the women's volleyball team.
From this time to 2013, including Cai Bin, the women's volleyball team changed three coaches. At this time, the women's volleyball team once again belonged to the leadership of no coach, but they did not degenerate, but fell into a tense environment.
At this time, Wei Jizhong proposed to the volleyball association to invite foreign coaches to train the women's volleyball team, and the volleyball association was obviously not optimistic about this, and they wanted to invite Lang Ping, who was a women's volleyball coach in a foreign country, back.
This idea is also the result of many considerations in the volleyball association, after all, Lang Ping also retired from the women's volleyball team, it can be said that she knows the women's volleyball team better than others, and also knows what kind of training to use can be twice as effective with half the effort. After many comparisons, it was concluded that it was the best choice to ask Lang Ping to return to China as the head coach of the women's volleyball team.
Squeeze out Lang Ping
In fact, Lang Ping had been invited to be a coach before, but some people obstructed it, so they didn't do it. In order to live, Lang Ping can only go to the United States to work as a women's volleyball coach.
After receiving the invitation again, Lang Ping accepted it without hesitation, because she has always missed the motherland in her heart.
The Chinese women's volleyball team also ended the dark period when Lang Ping returned to China. Under the leadership of Lang Ping, the Chinese women's volleyball team once again broke through the siege, regained its position at the top of the world, and won the championship many times.
When Lang Ping led the women's volleyball team to the final in a competition, Wei Jizhong threatened: "It is difficult for Lang Ping to get results in this competition!" ”
For a while, everyone's focus was on Lang Ping, wanting to see how she responded to this, but everyone's expected counterattack did not happen, Lang Ping responded with silence throughout the process, resisting the pressure from the outside world and allowing the women's volleyball team to play better.
At the Rio Olympics, Lang Ping once again led the women's volleyball team to win the championship, and responded fiercely to Wei Jizhong's previous disapproval with strength.
Later, Lang Ping, the more fierce the war, directly led the women's volleyball team to win three consecutive Olympic championships, and directly blocked Wei Jizhong's mouth. I thought that Wei Jizhong would stop there.
Seeing that Lang Ping's contract expired, Wei Jizhong came out again to play on the topic, saying: "Lang Ping is already very old, there must not be much energy to manage these things", "The women's volleyball team is also older, and needs to replenish some fresh blood, so let Lang Ping take a break." ”
For the various reasons found by Wei Jizhong, the volleyball association vetoed them all, and everyone has always felt that only Lang Ping has the strength to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team further and higher.
For Wei Jizhong's constant interference in the affairs of the women's volleyball team, netizens have long been dissatisfied, and they all began to attack Wei Ji: "You also said that Lang Ping is old, why are you still pointing fingers here when you are over 80?" ”
In the face of the verbal attacks, Wei Jizhong also stopped. But after this matter was known by more people on the Internet at that time, some of Wei Jizhong's previous things would definitely be picked up by netizens. Among them is Wei Jizhong once suppressed table tennis head coach Liu Guoliang.
Suppress Liu Guoliang
Liu Guoliang, presumably everyone is no stranger, the mainland's table tennis is gradually moving to the world's first place under his leadership.
When he was an athlete, as long as he competed, whether it was singles or doubles, gold medals were almost always won by him.
At his peak, he went to coach, but because he was too young, people doubted his ability. However, under the protection of Cai Zhenhua, Liu Guoliang still successfully assumed the position of head coach.
Unlike Cai Bin, he has never lost a major championship during his tenure. Later, Liu Guoliang even used his strength to prove that Cai Zhenhua's choice was not wrong. Liu Guoliang also said, "The last thing the national team lacks now is the championship. ”
But Wei Jizhong turned a blind eye to Liu Guoliang's achievements in winning three Olympic championships with the men's table tennis team, and even said bluntly:
"Coach Liu has worked hard, now it is the world of young people, and young people should be given more opportunities."
But Liu Guoliang was in the limelight at that time, and ignored Wei Jizhong's words, but not long after that, Liu Guoliang announced his resignation, and fans were very shocked and searched the Internet for what the reason was.
It turned out that after Wei Jizhong said something last time, seeing that Liu Guoliang did not reply, he directly suggested to the Table Tennis Association to cancel his position as head coach and head coach.
He believes that the head coach has too much power, which can easily have a bad influence and even breed corruption. Following his suggestion, the General Administration of Sports and the Table Tennis Association began to reform the national table tennis team, canceling the head coach and head coach, and retaining only the coaching staff.
Liu Guoliang also became the captain of the coaching staff, and after comprehensive consideration, Liu Guoliang decided to resign.
In this regard, the athletes brought by Liu Guoliang were all angry for him, and even some team members publicly spoke out on their social media in order to protest the decision of the Table Tennis Association, and even Ma Long and Xu Xin and many other players directly abandoned the game to protest.
This kind of behavior, needless to say, not only was he punished, but also smeared his former coach Liu Guoliang.
After Liu Guoliang left, China's table tennis performance has been unstable and declining, coupled with Liu Guoliang's mass influence is very large, countless people have repeatedly emphasized that Liu Guoliang cannot retreat, he is the most suitable coach.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the association decided to re-invite. But the public did not let Wei Jizhong go, and under the pressure of public opinion, Wei Jizhong could only give an explanation.
He said to the public: "Liu Guoliang has been working for so many years, he has never had time to accompany his family, and he has missed home. "But people obviously didn't believe it.
With the exposure of these things, Wei Jizhong's image in the minds of the public has completely changed.
It is undeniable that he has indeed contributed to the development of Chinese sports, but it cannot be ignored that he hindered the development of volleyball and table tennis in China.
What do you think about things in Wei Jizhong? Do you like this discredited volleyball veteran?
