#实话实说#
Wang Manyu is very stubborn, which is the impression she left on many coaches and fans. Many times stubbornness is a double-edged sword, and an athlete does not have much ability to resist pressure if he does not have a stubborn spirit. If Wang Manyu hadn't had a stubborn character, I believe she wouldn't be in her current position. A player's personality also determines a player's style of play, Wang Manyu is an active offensive style of play, which is very different from Sun Yingsha.
Sun Yingsha's personality is more likable and likes to take care of other people's feelings. Therefore, Sun Yingsha is a controlling type in the style of play, this style of play is not offensive in some aspects, and her ball control in the table is easy to rise, which is a specific performance. Sun Yingsha likes to play some slalom balls, and doesn't want to score directly after one or two boards.
Even if Wang Manyu is playing with the ball, he is also the kind of straight attack, and there is less rhythm change to control the ball. When encountering difficulties in the game, Wang Manyu's style of play will change. As long as she can suppress her opponent with her strength, Wang Manyu will generally not shoot softly, and she rarely takes a detour in the game.
Sun Yingsha is different, she can use rhythm control and does not easily counterattack. Wang Manyu's speed is still slow among the five main forces of national table tennis, but the rotation of her backhand is the best, so she has an obvious advantage against Japanese table tennis players. Each player has their own technical advantages, and they must play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses in the competition.
The fundamental reason why Wang Manyu was swept against Chen Xingtong was that she always played with her opponent at speed. This year, Wang Manyu was also swept against Sun Yingsha, the main reason was that he fell into the rhythm of playing fast attack with his opponent. Both Sun Yingsha and Chen Xingtong are good at fighting for speed near the stage, especially in the ball holding session.
Wang Manyu mainly uses his own shortcomings to fight for the strengths of his opponents, and in the case of speed is not dominant, of course, he does not have an advantage in blindly fighting hard. The solution to this problem is actually very simple, it is to play to your own technical strengths and not get caught up in the opponent's offensive rhythm.
Wang Manyu did the opposite, and in the women's singles final of this year's Asian Championships, Wang Manyu used her ability to fight hard with Sun Yingsha. Therefore, the winner will be determined only when the game is played, and if there is more control of the ball in the table, there will be no situation of being dragged to the tiebreaker. Wang Manyu is really easy to fight against each other sometimes, and the competition between her and her national table tennis teammates is prone to this situation.
However, there are few similar situations in the games between her and foreign players, Wang Manyu against Japanese table tennis players is generally the first three boards of fast attack, and each ball pays attention to changes. In the mixed team World Cup, Wang Manyu can often sweep her opponents because of her changeable ball routes.
Wang Manyu often attaches more importance to external wars, but internal competitions are different. She can't say that she plays particularly casually, but it gives fans the impression of a lack of flexibility. In other words, Wang Manyu is not good at competing with teammates, and is more suitable for foreign battles.
Some fans said that it was because of the weak strength of the foreign players, so Wang Manyu was better at fighting against them. But Chen Meng was going to drag on to the tiebreaker in the face of Hina Hayata, why was Wang Manyu able to easily defeat Hina Hayata? After comparing the two sides, they can come to the correct conclusion that Wang Manyu is indeed more suitable for fighting foreign wars.
Wang Manyu is now struggling against Chen Xingtong, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Sun Yingsha, and a very important reason is that he has little advantage in the ball holding session. The foreign association competitors are not very comfortable with Wang Manyu's serve, and the national table tennis teammates are very comfortable with her serve, so they can take the initiative to form a mutual ball.
Wang Manyu still has to give full play to his advantages in the first three boards and study a few more sets of serving and attacking tactics. If you want a set of tactics to play in the end, you must not only have the ability to resist pressure, but also strengthen your flexibility. Usually teammates train each other, of course, they are very familiar with each other, and it is very unlikely that Wang Manyu wants to defeat his opponent in a stable manner.
However, Wang Manyu doesn't believe this, in fact, the strength of the five main forces is close and can't be hard-hitting. Chen Xingtong's tactics to defeat Wang Manyu have also changed, insisting on fighting with Wang Manyu for speed, and insisting on not retreating from Taiwan to attack. Originally, Wang Manyu had a certain advantage in the service wheel of the first three boards, but she chose to play a stalemate.
Although Chen Xingtong has a certain adaptation to Wang Manyu's serve, it is impossible to adapt to every serve. As soon as Wang Manyu saw that his opponent was used to his forehand short ball, he didn't think of any other way to serve. But just if you want to rely on hard fighting, the passivity of the game can be imagined.
Because Chen Xingtong knows very well that his advantage is to hold the ball, and when he sees that Wang Manyu does not fight with her for the first three boards, that is the rhythm of the game she wants most. In fact, the previous battle against Wang Yidi was also swept in the championship game, but when the opponent strengthened the quality of the attack, Wang Manyu played the ball and fell into passivity.
Wang Manyu does have the strength to not admit defeat, and she originally had an obvious advantage against Chen Xingtong. Wang Manyu said in an interview that the whole 2023 should be summarized well. This year, he was defeated by Chen Xingtong twice in the World Table Tennis Championships and finals, and almost all opponents suppressed Wang Manyu with fast attacks.
Therefore, Chen Xingtong left fans with the impression that she was more restrained by Wang Manyu, but in fact, the game between teammates was still a matter of tactical strategy. It is difficult for fans to explain that Wang Manyu, who has been swept by Sun Yingsha many times this year, will defeat Sun Yingsha in the Asian Championships and the Table Tennis Super League. Because judging from the process of Sun Yingsha's sweep of Wang Manyu, it seems to be devastating, and the two are not on the same level at all.
Wang Manyu's stubbornness in the game has a positive side. It is difficult for a player to fight a tough battle if he does not have a stubborn spirit, and at the same time, if he does not know how to be flexible in his stubbornness, it is easy to fall into the result of being defeated, so stubbornness is a double-edged sword.
