"Why don't you die when you're 87 years old?"
It is no one else who is cursed, it is Wei Jizhong, who "everyone shouts and fights" in Chinese sports.
Table tennis and volleyball are both sports that mainland people and athletes are proud of, but both of these sports almost "died" in the hands of Wei Jizhong.
Forced away Chen Zhonghe, squeezed out Lang Ping, almost strangled the Chinese women's volleyball team in the cradle, suppressed Liu Guoliang, and almost made Chinese table tennis a laughing stock in the world.
From the "father of the Olympic industry" who desperately promoted the successful bid for the Beijing Olympic Games, to being cursed by all netizens for "dying", Wei Ji was to blame for not guaranteeing everything!
Chinese table tennis almost became China's "laughing stock"
In 2002, Liu Guoliang officially retired and began his coaching career.
At this time, he was ranked number one in the world, and this achievement gave him the confidence to bring out another team of "world No. 1" table tennis players.
The Athens Olympics are about to begin, and Liu Guoliang resolutely undertook this arduous task under this strong pressure.
But at this time, Wei Jizhong made a series of incomprehensible moves.
Not only did he belittle Liu Guoliang's ability in public many times, but he also advised Liu Guoliang in front of him many times that "opportunities should be left to young people."
I don't know what calculations were playing in the Wei Ji Center at that time, but Liu Guoliang did not let him succeed, but put more energy into training the team members.
In the end, Liu Guoliang ignored the influence brought by Wei Jizhong and led the national table tennis team to win the men's team championship of the 47th World Table Tennis Championships.
In the following years, from the single competition to the team competition, from domestic to foreign, the team led by Liu Guoliang "Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, God blocks and kills God", playing his ability with a momentum like a bamboo, and also smashing Wei Jizhong's face.
However, Wei Jizhong was like being caught in an evil spirit, and he was relentless in pursuit of Liu Guoliang.
After Liu Guoliang won the third gold medal with his team at the Beijing and London Olympics, Wei Jizhong actually suggested that the position of head coach be abolished and Liu Guoliang be the head of the coaching staff like a "madman".
This seems to be a promotion for Liu Guoliang, but in fact it is to empty Liu Guoliang's power and make him unable to stay in the team.
Liu Guoliang naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and submitted his resignation on the spot.
But how could the Table Tennis Association give up this gold medal coach?
Moreover, at that time, Wei Jizhong was already unpopular, and as soon as the news of Liu Guoliang came out, not only all netizens who paid attention to sports events blew up the sky, but Liu Guoliang's disciples Ma Long, Zhang Jike and other main players also stood up to protest.
The sports world has always been about strength, Wei Jizhong naturally cannot "say white into black", and in the end, it is Liu Guoliang's strength that makes the Table Tennis Association support him to continue to serve as the head coach.
After this battle, Wei Jizhong promised not to interfere in the Chinese table tennis affairs again, and netizens stopped cursing him.
Star players such as Ma Long and Zhang Jike protested Wei Jizhong by abandoning the game, and after this incident, more netizens knew about Wei Jizhong '-stirring stick" in the sports world.
But what netizens don't know is that Wei Jizhong almost destroyed not only Chinese table tennis, but also the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Defeated the Chinese women's volleyball team single-handedly
Today's Chinese women's volleyball team is the pride of the Chinese people and a key for China to open the door to the world.
But this signature campaign was almost "destroyed" twice in the hands of Wei Jizhong.
In 2013, Lang Ping was invited to return to China to serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but was opposed by Wei Jizhong .
In fact, the two have not dealt with each other for a long time, and it can be said that they have a deep personal grudge, but Wei Jizhong "declared a personal vendetta", and preventing Lang Ping from assuming the position of head coach made many people scoff.
Sports events are about national honor, and Wei Jizhong not only did not have a belly, but also did not put the honor of the motherland at ease, such a move naturally did not have the support of the masses.
Lang Ping's smooth appointment has injected fresh strength into the Chinese women's volleyball team, once upon a time Lang Ping was a gold medal player of the Chinese women's volleyball team, after serving as a coach, Lang Ping explained what is called a "gold medal coach".
As of 2021, when Lang Ping announced his resignation, a series of reform plans for the existing players of the Chinese women's volleyball team after Lang Ping took office have worked significantly.
The Olympic Games, the World Cup, and the World Championships have yielded a lot of rewards every time.
However, Wei Jizhong did not seem to see Lang Ping's ability, and during Lang Ping's tenure, he repeatedly obstructed Lang Ping from implementing his training plan, proposed to replace Lang Ping, and openly undermined the confidence of the players, as if he could not see the progress of his country's players.
Fortunately, Wei Jizhong's plan did not succeed, and the Chinese women's volleyball team is getting better and better, but Wei Jizhong's behavior is worthy of being charged with "deliberately sabotaging China's sports industry".
Because this is not the first time that Wei Jizhong has targeted the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Before 2001, the Chinese women's volleyball team almost disappeared on the stage of major events in the world, until the appearance of Chen Zhonghe revived the Chinese women's volleyball team.
After Chen Zhonghe took over the Chinese women's volleyball team, he immediately carried out drastic reforms, and the selected students were also very potential fresh blood.
In terms of training methods, he also dares to learn and borrow, and has injected a lot of effort into the physical enhancement of team members.
From 2002 to 2004, under the leadership of Chen Zhonghe, the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in its own short flowering period.
The reason why it was short was because Wei Jizhong obstructed it.
As if he had been "lowered his head", he did not give Chen Zhonghe a good face, and more than once questioned Chen Zhonghe's coaching ability in public, and let Chen Zhonghe step down in and out of his words.
Wei Jizhong, then president of the Chinese Volleyball Association, said these words with great weight, and many people even indiscriminately supported the removal of Chen Zhonghe.
Maybe someone complained about Chen Zhonghe at that time, but his arm couldn't twist his thigh, and even if Chen Zhonghe brought the Chinese women's volleyball team back to life, he still couldn't resist Wei Jizhong's deliberate difficulty.
Until now, we don't understand what motive Wei Jizhong is to repeatedly challenge the bottom line of the people of the whole country.
After Chen Zhonghe was forced to step down, Wei Jizhong brazenly promoted his cronie Cai Bin to the post, but Cai Bin was completely overwhelmed, and the results of the women's volleyball team regressed one after another, almost being scolded to death by the fans.
In the end, the Chinese women's volleyball team could not even rush out of Asia under the leadership of Cai Bin, and Wei Jizhong, who single-handedly promoted Cai Bin's ascension, not only did not recognize the mistake, but also shamelessly defended Cai Bin as a "transition period".
But how can such a "sparse" achievement be justified, under the pressure of public opinion, Cai Bin had to leave the field with his tail between his legs.
But Wei Jizhong still "shy with an old face" to dictate the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and later the state invited Lang Ping to return to China to teach, and Wei Jizhong also obstructed in every way.
Many netizens suspect that Wei Jizhong is a descendant of Wei Zhongxian, otherwise why did he become "in crisis" as soon as he intervened?
Although Wei Jizhong's current reputation has plummeted, and many netizens have cursed him for "dying quickly", it cannot hide that he has dedicated his life to Chinese sports.
What is the opportunity that made Wei Jizhong from a hero who tried his best to promote the success of Beijing's Olympic bid, to what he looks like now?
Wei Jizhong who judged the two before and after
In fact, Wei Jizhong's life is really difficult to evaluate, he was a hot-blooded athlete when he was young, and he was scolded by countless netizens when he was old.
In the 50s of the 20th century, he was the main player of the volleyball team in Jiangsu Province, playing all the way from the local to the national and then representing the country in international competitions.
At that time, there was a burning fire in his heart.
But an accident extinguished the fire in Wei Jizhong's chest for the first time, and the injury caused him to quit the national team and give up his favorite volleyball career was the most uncomfortable thing for him.
But soon after moving to behind-the-scenes work, the flame of struggle reignited in the Wei Ji Center.
Moreover, this fire has been burning for the motherland's Olympic bid, and Wei Jizhong, who was an athlete, has a very big obsession with the country's hosting of the Olympic Games.
And Wei Jizhong was destined to have an unusually close connection with the Olympic Games, because the president of the Olympic Committee, Samaranch, became close friends with him before he reached the high office.
With the assistance of Samaranch, the Olympic bid team headed by Wei Jizhong successfully facilitated Beijing's bid to host the Olympic Games.
Moreover, in Wei Jizhong's career, sports is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided, and he has twice served as the chairman of the China Sports Federation, which is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Wei Jizhong's ability.
But I don't know if it's really "people get confused when they are old", or Wei Ji has other ideas, in short, since squeezing out Chen Zhonghe and forcing him to abdicate, all his actions have become more and more abnormal.
The actions before and after are like being "taken away", no wonder netizens have not stopped cursing Wei Jizhong!
Write at the end
In terms of merit, Wei Jizhong is indeed worthy of being called the "eternal god of Chinese sports", but in terms of decision-making mistakes, Wei Jizhong mistakes cannot be ignored, and every mistake is not small.
The older he gets, the more rampant he is, and Wei Jizhong is now regarded by everyone as the "rat" of sports.
Although Wei Jizhong, who is now 87, is still running for sports, just as he forced Lang to retreat, it is time for him to abdicate and leave the opportunity to the young people!
Otherwise, listening to swearing words all day must be uncomfortable!
