In December this year, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China will usher in a volleyball feast, that is, the Women's Volleyball Club World Cup. This is the third time that China has hosted the event, and the second time it has been held in China after 2018 and 2020. The Women's Volleyball Club World Cup is the highest level club event of the FIVB, bringing together the world's strongest women's volleyball teams and showing the charm and level of women's volleyball.
However, before this event, there was a lot of controversy and speculation about the location and the teams involved. Initially, there were media reports that the Women's Volleyball Club World Cup would be held in Changsha, Hunan, but this was later denied by the FIVB. After that, there were rumors that Tianjin would become the host city, after all, Tianjin is the cradle of the Chinese women's volleyball team and synonymous with the volleyball city.
However, in the end, the FIVB officially announced Hangzhou as the host city, which disappointed Tianjin again. Although Hangzhou is also a city with a long history and culture of volleyball, it is a pity for Tianjin to miss the opportunity to host the Club World Cup. Not only that, the Tianjin women's volleyball team has not yet determined whether it can participate in this Club World Cup.
According to the rules, the host country can send two teams to participate in the competition, one of which must be the champion team of the previous edition. Since the last champion team was the Guangdong Evergrande women's volleyball team, they have already locked a place. The other place is up to the Chinese Volleyball Association to decide which team to allocate to.
As one of the most traditional strong teams in China, Tianjin women's volleyball team has 15 championship trophies and has a high reputation and influence at home and abroad. Therefore, the Tianjin women's volleyball team naturally hopes to represent China in the Club World Cup and compete with the world's strongest teams. However, it is not so easy for the Tianjin women's volleyball team to participate in the Club World Cup.
First, there is a conflict over timing. December this year is in the middle stage of the domestic league, and the Tianjin women's volleyball team has to deal with two arenas at the same time, which will undoubtedly increase their burden and risk. Secondly, there is also a gap in the comparison of strength.
Although the Tianjin women's volleyball team has performed well in the domestic league, it is difficult to compete with European and American teams on the international stage. Especially in terms of foreign aid, the Tianjin women's volleyball team can only rely on a veteran Wang Yuanyuan as the main attacker, while other teams can have as many as four foreign aids. In this way, you will be at a disadvantage on both offensive and defensive ends.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the Tianjin women's volleyball team may give up participating in this Club World Cup and focus on the domestic league. After all, the goal of the Tianjin women's volleyball team is to win the 16th championship in team history and create a new record for the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, the new season of the domestic league has not been smooth sailing, with each team strengthening its strength and the competition becoming more intense.
Among them, the most surprising is the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, which is known as the "miscellaneous army", which has invested heavily in the transfer market, introducing four foreign aides and nearly ten domestic aids, creating a luxurious lineup. The strength of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team can be seen from their performance in the semi-finals. This tournament is a warm-up match before the domestic league, and the Shenzhen women's volleyball team easily won the championship with a record of three wins, including a big victory over the Shanghai women's volleyball team.
The Shanghai women's volleyball team is a traditional strong team in the domestic league and an old opponent of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, but it is powerless in front of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team. The Shenzhen women's volleyball team has an advantage at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially in terms of foreign aid, they have four world-class players, namely the United States main attacker Hill, the Brazilian deputy attacker Carol, Serbian receiver Mihajlovic and the Polish libero Wojciekhowska. These four foreign aides all have rich experience in international competitions and excellent individual ability, which can provide strong firepower and stable defense for the Shenzhen women's volleyball team.
In addition to foreign aid, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team also has a bright spot, that is, the young player Dong Mingxiao introduced from the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Dong Mingxiao is a 21-year-old side attacker, known as a "talented girl", with high talent and potential. However, she did not get enough exercise and opportunities in the Tianjin women's volleyball team, so she chose to transfer to Shenzhen.
In the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, she got a surprise change, that is, she was transformed into a response. Receiving is a position that requires more offensive responsibility and ability, and Dong Mingxiao just has these conditions. She has incredible bounce and smash power and can create a threat at the net.
Moreover, in the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, she does not need to undertake the task of passing a pass, she can focus on the offensive link and give full play to her advantages. In this way, Dong Mingxiao has more stages to show himself and has more room for improvement. After Dong Mingxiao changed to play, she performed well in the semi-finals elite match and became one of the important scoring points of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team.
If she can maintain this form and level, she will also play well in the domestic league. Dong Mingxiao is still young, there are still many possibilities in the future, if she can continue to grow and improve in the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, maybe one day she can become a new star of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Therefore, Dong Mingxiao's transformation is also a highlight of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team and a big loss for the Tianjin women's volleyball team.
Although the Tianjin women's volleyball team has foreign aid like Wang Yuanyuan, it lacks young new blood on the offensive line. If Dong Mingxiao can be retained, maybe the Tianjin women's volleyball team will be able to have more vitality and changes. But now, Dong Mingxiao has become a member of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team and a major threat to the Tianjin women's volleyball team.
In short, this year's Women's Volleyball Club World Cup will be held in Hangzhou, which is an honor and a challenge for the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although the Tianjin women's volleyball team missed the opportunity to host and compete, they still have their own goals and dreams. The Shenzhen women's volleyball team is an emerging force, they have a strong lineup and strength, and they also have unusual changes and innovations.
Both teams will compete fiercely in the domestic league and we look forward to seeing more exciting and surprising things from them! Shenzhen Women's Volleyball Team: The Rise of a Miscellaneous Army In the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there have been many glorious moments and many legendary teams. From the Jiangsu women's volleyball team in the 80s of the last century, to the Shanghai women's volleyball team in the 90s, and then to the Tianjin women's volleyball team in the 21st century, they have created countless glory and miracles at home and abroad. However, beyond these traditional powerhouses, there is also a team that, although not as many championships and fame, also has its own story and dreams.
This team is the Shenzhen women's volleyball team. The Shenzhen women's volleyball team is a relatively young team, founded in 2004 and participated in the 2005 National Games. At that time, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team did not have much strength and resources, so it could only rely on its own efforts and hard work to achieve the eighth place in the National Games.
After that, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team did not give up its pursuit, and has been insisting on working hard in the domestic league, although the results are not outstanding, but there have been some bright spots. For example, in the 2010 league, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team once reached the semifinals, creating the best record in team history. In the 2012 league, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team also defeated the Tianjin women's volleyball team in the playoffs, so that the Tianjin women's volleyball team missed the finals.
However, in the following seasons, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team fell into a trough, and its results have been hovering in the middle and lower reaches. There are many reasons for this, the main one being staff loss and funding difficulties. Since Shenzhen did not pay much attention to and invest in the women's volleyball career, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team did not have much attraction and competitiveness, resulting in many outstanding players and coaches leaving the team.
At the same time, due to insufficient funds, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team cannot introduce high-level foreign aid and domestic aid, and can only rely on itself to cultivate and tap some potential stocks. As a result, in the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic league, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team is becoming more and more powerless. However, in the most difficult time, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team ushered in a turning point.
That turning point was a massive transfer move that took place at the end of 2020. In this transfer action, the Shenzhen Municipal Government and the Sports Bureau suddenly gave great support and investment to the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, providing sufficient funds and resources for the Shenzhen women's volleyball team. With these funds and resources, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team has shown its strength in the transfer market, introducing four world-class foreign players and nearly ten excellent domestic players to create a new and luxurious lineup.
The four foreign players are the main attacker Hill of the United States, the deputy attacker Carol of Brazil, the Serbian receiver Mihajlovic and the Polish libero Wojciekhowska. They are the main players of their respective national teams, and they also have rich experience in international competitions and excellent individual ability. Their joining has provided the Shenzhen women's volleyball team with strong firepower and stable defense, and made a qualitative leap in the strength of the Shenzhen women's volleyball team.
These internal aides include five young players introduced from the Tianjin women's volleyball team, two main attackers from the Beijing women's volleyball team, a deputy attacker from the Henan women's volleyball team, a free man from the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, and a receiver from the Guangdong Evergrande women's volleyball team. They are all domestic players with a certain level and potential, and their joining has provided more choices and changes for the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, making the Shenzhen women's volleyball team's lineup more rich and balanced. With such a lineup, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team has become an amazing team.
In the semi-finals elite in 2021, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team showed its strong strength and easily won the championship with a record of three wins, including a big victory over the Shanghai women's volleyball team. In this game, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team had an advantage at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially in terms of foreign aid, and they completely suppressed the Shanghai women's volleyball team. In terms of domestic aid, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team also has a bright spot, that is, the transformation of Dong Mingxiao, a young player introduced by Tianjin, into a reception.
Dong Mingxiao is a 21-year-old side attacker, known as a "talented girl", with high talent and potential. However, she did not get enough exercise and opportunities in the Tianjin women's volleyball team, so she chose to transfer to Shenzhen. In the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, she got a surprise change, that is, she was transformed into a response.
Receiving is a position that requires more offensive responsibility and ability, and Dong Mingxiao just has these conditions. She has incredible bounce and smash power and can create a threat at the net. Moreover, in the Shenzhen women's volleyball team, she does not need to undertake the task of passing a pass, she can focus on the offensive link and give full play to her advantages.
In this way, Dong Mingxiao has more stages to show himself and has more room for improvement. Through this large-scale transfer action, the Shenzhen women's volleyball team has changed from a ragtag army to a giant army. Not only do they have a strong strength and lineup, but they also have unusual changes and innovations.
