"Pack up and leave! The national team doesn't need you! ”
"Did I disgrace the country when I won the world championship?" Her tears couldn't stop flowing.
This scene happened to Pi Hongyan, who had just won the world championship. So why exactly did a world champion get abandoned?
Because of his short stature, he was eliminated by the national team
Pi Hongyan was born in a small village in Sichuan Province, when she was a child, she was very thin, but her small body contained great energy, and her father was worried about Pi Hongyan's physical fitness, so he wanted his daughter to strengthen her physique by playing badminton.
Unintentionally, I didn't expect my daughter to love this sport. The father was also very pleased, so when Pi Hongyan was 6 years old, he taught the child some tips for playing badminton.
Every time her father rested, Pi Hongyan would pestered her father to play badminton with her.
After learning the basic techniques and some small skills, Pi Hongyan has improved more and more in playing badminton. Even playing is very personal.
Although petite, Pi Hongyan is particularly flexible, and she is very good at attacking, and she is no less impressive against her father.
The father was busy with work and had no way to play ball with his children all the time, so the sensible Pi Hongyan went to find neighbors and classmates to play badminton together, and over time, the neighbors knew that there was a little girl who was very good at badminton.
Later, when the father played with his daughter again, he found that his daughter improved rapidly, showed extraordinary talent, and her skills were also perfect.
So after discussing with his daughter, he sent the child to a professional institution for training.
The coach also believes that Pi Hongyan is a rare good seedling, and under the professional guidance of the coach, Pi Hongyan's advantages are excavated and infinitely amplified. Even according to Pi Hongyan's personal characteristics, she was given one-on-one special guidance.
Due to her flexible footsteps and extremely lethal smashes, Pi Hongyan stood out among many students and was also favored by the Sichuan badminton team.
In this way, Pi Hongyan entered the provincial team.
Pi Hongyan is invincible and invincible in the original small place. This made her feel that she was not afraid of the sky at a young age. I even thought that I basically had no opponents.
However, what Ling Pi Hongyan did not expect was that there were people outside the world.
Entering the provincial team, Pi Hongyan was very frustrated, she did not expect that she would fail again and again.
Pi Hongyan was devastated, but it didn't take long to cheer up.
Instead of being immersed in sadness and self-doubt, she became more and more frustrated.
Every time she fails, Pi Hongyan carefully summarizes and repeatedly asks her opponent for advice. Not only that, but also strengthen their basic skills training, and practice themselves more.
Everyone got up at 6 a.m. to run and practice, and Pi Hongyan got up at 5 a.m. to start practicing. Others finish at 10 p.m., and Pi Hongyan practices until 12 p.m.
Pi Hongyan is particularly demanding of herself. Under such high-intensity training, Pi Hongyan has advanced by leaps and bounds. It soon became the bearer of the provincial team.
In this way, Pi Hongyan successfully entered the national team.
Heaven paid off, and Pi Hongyan's efforts finally paid off. In her second year with the national team, Pi Hongyan represented China in the world competition.
With her years of hard training and solid ball skills, Pi Hongyan has passed five levels and six generals along the way, and in the United States, she has highlighted the siege, defeated many fierce opponents, and won the championship in one fell swoop.
After winning the US Open championship, Pi Hongyan's name gradually came to the public's vision. Many people are very optimistic about this girl.
Just when Pi Hongyan thought that she could make a big show in the badminton world, coach Wang Junjie's words made Pi Hongyan completely stunned, and Pi Hongyan's fate changed.
"You're too short, one meter six four still want to play badminton? Simply impossible! ”
The coach's words were like sharp daggers, piercing into Pi Hongyan's heart. Relying on her own strength, she walked to the national team step by step, originally thought that after winning the championship, she could get the appreciation of the coach, but she did not expect that it would be such a blow.
This made Pi Hongyan frustrated, but Pi Hongyan had to pack her things. She passed the training room, where she spent more than a dozen hours a day, where her dreams began and where her dreams ended.
People go high, water flows low. Athletes have always been promoted from provincial teams to national teams, and rarely from national teams to provincial teams. This made Pi Hongyan's heart difficult to accept for a while.
But the national team really couldn't stay. The coach's words were like an ultimatum, and Pi Hongyan could only leave.
Relegation to the "provincial team", hard work but ignored
Before leaving, Pi Hongyan turned back three times step by step, and only she knew how much sweat and tears she had paid to enter the national team. She secretly swore in her heart that gold would always shine and she must come back again!
The national team is full of talents, and may not be the best, but when it comes to the provincial team, at least the ability is also one of the best, and you can have more opportunities to play.
However, Pi Hongyan never expected that when she arrived at the provincial team, it was simply the beginning of a nightmare.
The coach of the provincial team did not give Pi Hongyan any professional help, but kept saying that Pi Hongyan's playing style was not formal. This made Pi Hongyan incomprehensible, but it was with this "informal" style of play that she won the world championship.
The coach's "guidance" makes Pi Hongyan a little difficult to understand, although there is a scientific way of playing, but everyone has their own habits and characteristics, can not blindly train according to only one mold.
Because Pi Hongyan was "downgraded" from the national team, the coach believes that the probability of Pi Hongyan being able to return to the national team is very low, and the training value is not high, and he loves to ignore Pi Hongyan.
But Pi Hongyan's heart still has hope for returning to the national team. She firmly believes in speaking with her own strength, and one day, the national team will still have her place.
Returning to the national team means playing more games and getting more awards. This not only did not frustrate Pi Hongyan, but made Pi Hongyan feel very excited.
Because she wants to prove her ability with competitions, she also likes the feeling of giving her best in competitions.
However, no matter how outstanding and excellent it is in daily training, the coach turns a blind eye. Instead, she paid more attention to those team members whose professional skills were worse than her and their techniques were not very proficient.
Competitions were held again and again, but there was almost no visible figure of Pi Hongyan, as if it had disappeared.
She felt that the future was bleak. Desperately trying to enter the national team, it turned out that in the end, not only was he "relegated" to the provincial team, but there was no way to stand on the field again.
After my father found out, he couldn't bear to see her hanging her head like this, and he was very distressed. Fathers know that there is too much pressure on their children, but they still love the badminton team from the bottom of their hearts and don't want their children to give up like this.
So, after lunch, the father offered to have another discussion with his daughter.
Pi Hongyan hesitated, she wanted to give up badminton, she didn't want to pick up the racket again, every time she picked it up, she thought of what the coach said to him.
But her father's insistence made Pi Hongyan waver, because of the heavy training tasks, Pi Hongyan was rarely able to return home to accompany her parents.
So, I picked up a racket and fought with my father for a while.
After training, Pi Hongyan's skills have been greatly improved, and her father at that time was no longer Pi Hongyan's opponent.
After the fight, my father enlightened Pi Hongyan seriously.
"The first time, I handed you the racket in my hand. You became interested in badminton. This time, I will hand you the racket in my hand again, hoping that you will not be afraid of difficulties and bravely pursue your dreams. Dad will always have your back. ”
Her father's teaching made Pi Hongyan's heart suddenly feel a lot more relaxed.
She knew that her father hoped that she would not give up lightly, and would strive for whatever she wanted.
So, he returned to the training ground, regained his strength and began training.
But her efforts were not recognized much, and Pi Hongyan was overwhelmed because the coach did not treat her and rarely gave her the opportunity to participate, resulting in Pi Hongyan becoming a bench player for a while.
Each time, she could only sit on a cold bench offstage, waiting for the opportunity to know when it would be her turn.
But how can Pi Hongyan be willing to go on like this, she trains more desperately, works harder, and hopes that the coach can give her a chance to play.
But wait and go, wait until the sentence "You are not suitable for cultivation at all, stop dreaming!" ”
The coach's words made Pi Hongyan completely cool her heart. The flame burning in her heart was instantly extinguished by this sentence. Pi Hongyan also thought about giving up badminton, returning home and locking herself in her room. She didn't know if she would want to stick with it.
Seeing that all roads were impossible, Pi Hongyan felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, the coach of France reached out to her and wanted Pi Hongyan to continue playing in France.
Pi Hongyan is very excited in her heart, she wants to continue to fulfill her dream, but she also wants to win glory for the country. Although she can continue to pursue her dream of becoming a world champion in France, she will have to go to another country to become an athlete in another country.
This made Pi Hongyan very entangled in her heart. At first, Pi Hongyan wanted to shirk and didn't want to leave just like that.
However, if you stay in China, if you continue to stay, not only will you not be able to play, but even in the future, food and clothing will become a problem. Because she not only has to support herself, but also has elderly parents to take care of.
Parents are old and can't let them work anymore because of themselves. Pi Hongyan also wants to let her parents live a good life through her own efforts. However, the current situation is not good for me.
Moreover, the absence of a chance to emerge means that there is no way to appear on the world stage again, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to an athlete's career.
All the efforts and efforts that used to be in vain, Pi Hongyan's heart was very tired.
Transferred to Europe, Pi Hongyan killed all sides
She feared that her career would end and that she would no longer be able to pick up a racket and go to the field.
At this time, thinking about it, Pi Hongyan decided to take the initiative to leave the team. Switch to the European battlefield.
There is no hope of staying in the provincial team, because Pi Hongyan was 20 years old at that time, and if she stayed in the provincial team at this age, she would never enter the national team again in this life.
Pi Hongyan was unwilling to admit defeat. From the European Championship to the World Championship, her efforts were finally seen by the world, and her talent was finally on stage.
In the end, she represented Europe, and it was a cruel thing to fight against her former compatriots in the arena, but he had to exert all his strength in order to win the world championship.
On the field, a match attracted the attention of many people, that is, Pi Hongyan vs. Zhang Ning.
When the former companion becomes today's opponent, Pi Hongyan is also very sad.
When wearing the uniform of the French national team, Pi Hongyan had mixed feelings in her heart.
And this also caused doubts and abuse from the audience. Every time she competes, Pi Hongyan is told to turn her elbows out and do something that doesn't help her country. Betrayal of one's own country for their own benefit! What a shame!
In fact, when Pi Hongyan made the choice to leave, she was already mentally prepared. However, when everything really comes, Pi Hongyan will still feel sad in her heart.
Although she stopped at the final four, everyone can still see her dedication to badminton from her competition.
After the game, Pi Hongyan also said that her naturalization of French nationality was not a betrayal of her motherland. She will always love China! It doesn't matter if you lose this competition, it can be regarded as clearing the way for the Chinese team to enter the world championship.
In fact, why doesn't Pi Hongyan want to stand on the podium wearing a five-star red flag, wearing a shiny gold medal and singing the national anthem?
She also wants to be able to do something big with her own efforts, but the reality is often not satisfactory. The more you want to gain something, the more you lose something.
It turns out that Pi Hongyan's choice was the right one.
After Pi Hongyan entered the Danish team, she became a key training target, with a special coach and a professional physiotherapy team serving her alone.
Pi Hongyan also lived up to expectations, winning a number of competitions in Europe. With her own efforts, she made a world of her own.
Pi Hongyan's ability made the French team see the eyes, and the French team invited Pi Hongyan many times, and Pi Hongyan was invited to come to France again. With her arrival, the French team brought hope for life.
Previously, the French team's badminton was recognized as the worst in the world, basically the bottom in the world. And the arrival of Pi Hongyan reversed this situation.
Pi Hongyan herself is also well-known in Europe, winning gold medals again and again, totaling fourteen. This is no small achievement for Pi Hongyan, and she can finally shine in her favorite field.
In just two or three years, French badminton has created a succession of achievements on the world stage. French badminton also became the top three in the world. The arrival of Pi Hongyan also made French badminton shine again.
In France, Pi Hongyan's career was smooth, but due to physical reasons, she also had to take a back seat and no longer compete. He retired in 2012 and became a badminton coach.
I also met my lover, gave birth to two lovely children, and had my own family.
Although she settled in France, she also often returned to China with her family of four to visit her parents.
When asked, will you stay in China for a long time?
Pi Hongyan smiled and said nothing.
Among them, there is too much sadness and helplessness, only Pi Hongyan herself knows.
