Some fans said that Wang Manyu took the initiative to let head coach Ma Lin do off-field guidance, which was the player's self-choice. In fact, Ma Lin is the head coach of national table tennis, if the main players do not choose Ma Lin to be the off-court guidance, then the head coach will not become a decoration? At present, the off-court guidance of Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha is Qiu Yike, and the off-court guidance of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Chen Xingtong is Ma Lin, and the two coaches have a clear division of labor.
Although Qiu Yike is Sun Yingsha's head coach, he is fixed as Sun Yingsha's off-court coach in various competitions, and his position on the national table tennis coaching staff is an assistant coach, second only to head coach Ma Lin. Fans only see that Wang Manyu often asks Ma Lin to do off-court guidance, and why do the head coaches of Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong rarely appear in the coach's seat?
In particular, Wang Yidi's head coach is Li Dacheng, and it seems that it is difficult for fans to see him giving Wang Yidi off-court guidance, as if the master and apprentice duo have been forgotten by the fans. In the mixed team World Cup, Qiu Yike, Li Falcon, and Ma Lin sat on the sidelines of the coach's seat, while the head coaches of the other main players did not show up.
From this point, it can be seen that Qiu Yike has indeed received key training, and he is also the first choice for the future head coach of the women's team. However, this Olympic cycle, Marin is still the head coach, and he will appear in the dugout on the sidelines of the Olympics. Therefore, no matter which national table tennis player participates in the Olympic Games, he must have a good run-in with head coach Ma Lin.
Sun Yingsha's off-court coach at this year's World Table Tennis Arena is Qiu Yike, but Ma Lin appeared on the off-court coach's bench in the finals. The reason why Ma Lin did not be Sun Yingsha's off-court coach at the World Table Tennis Championships is very important because she is too busy and needs other coaches to give off-court guidance to the main players participating in the competition.
The schedule of the World Table Tennis Championships is relatively intensive, and it is impossible to catch up with a coach to do off-court guidance, because sometimes several main players play in various competitions at the same time. Qiu Yike has indeed shared a lot of pressure for head coach Ma Lin for most of the past half a year.
Qiu Yike is currently in a very high position in the hearts of fans, not only because he is Sun Yingsha's head coach. In the eyes of fans, his coaching style is relatively calm, Ma Lin is older than Qiu Yike, and his coaching style is passionate. Ma Lin can be regarded as retiring as head coach at the same time as Qiu Yike, and the starting line of the two is the same.
Qiu Yike was not well known to fans, mainly because Sun Yingsha suddenly lost his head coach last year, and he entered the first team of national table tennis to coach. When he coached Zhu Yuling, he didn't have a strong presence in the eyes of fans. After coaching Sun Yingsha, it did explode, but the head coach of the Olympic Games is an official off-field coach.
Wang Manyu's head coach Xu Hui is difficult to train with the team, so she didn't choose the head coach Ma Lin, and she can't wait until Wang Manyu is in the game, and there is no one in the coach's seat outside the field, right? But in the eyes of some fans, no matter what kind of game Wang Manyu participates in, he has to rely on himself to solve the practical difficulties in the game.
Marin's coaching level is there, and the fans know it. Even Wang Manyu, like Sun Yingsha, is followed by the head coach to do off-field guidance in various competitions, but in competitions like the Olympic Games, Ma Lin will still sit in the off-field coach's seat. Ma Lin and Wang Manyu also had a slow adaptation process, and now the master and apprentice have cooperated very tacitly.
I remember the 2022 WTT Macau Championships, which was the first collaboration between Ma Lin and Wang Manyu, and they lost 2-3 to France's Yuan Jianan. The first time the two sides cooperated, they unfortunately tasted defeat, and Ma Lin has since cooperated with Wang Manyu more and more times, and he said after the World Table Tennis Championships this year that he would help Wang Manyu improve.
Especially in the mixed team World Cup, Ma Lin personally went down to train Wang Manyu, and the game was against the German straight board player Shan Xiaona, which touched many fans at that time. Marin has always wanted to prove her coaching skills to the fans, and fully verified the saying: where you fall, you have to get up from there.
Some fans said that Sun Yingsha and Ma Lin have also cooperated for a long time, but they are both in doubles matches, and the number of times they cooperate in singles matches is much less. Ma Lin and Wang Manyu have cooperated more often than Chen Meng in the past year, and the tacit understanding between Chen Meng and Ma Lin is of course better because they have been working together for a longer time.
It can be said that the connection between the master and apprentice has been seamless, and when Chen Meng encountered difficulties in the game, Ma Lin was very patient to guide them off the court. As the absolute main force participating in the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha will also cooperate with Ma Lin in the next various competitions to increase the tacit understanding between the two sides.
Wang Manyu and Ma Lin's cooperation is getting better and better, because when she encounters difficulties in the game, she selectively absorbs the advice given by Ma Lin's off-court guidance. Therefore, Wang Manyu's foreign war results in the past year have been very good, which is the result of the increase in the tacit understanding between the two sides, Wang Manyu knows when to listen to what kind of opinions.
In the game where Miyu Hirano defeated Sun Yingsha last year, the off-court guidance was Qiu Yi, not Ma Lin. In the finals, Sun Yingsha vs. Zhang Benmeihe, Ma Lin decisively called a timeout in the deciding game, and then Sun Yingsha reversed Zhang Benmeihe. Ma Lin proved with practical actions that her coaching level is improving.
Therefore, Sun Yingsha and Ma Lin should continue to cooperate in various competitions and listen to the coaching opinions of different coaches, which is very helpful for the improvement of their performance.
