Sun Yingsha was originally included in Liu Guoliang's vision, and it was more of a tentative encouragement!
2020年国乒东京奥运模拟赛期间，刘国梁问孙颖莎有什么想法，孙颖莎信誓旦旦告诉刘国梁：“现在自己和丁宁刘诗雯等老大姐相比还有很大的不足，但是巴黎奥运会的女单冠军一定是我的了。
Liu Guoliang and Sun Yingsha
听到完孙颖莎的回答，刘国梁直接反问了一句：“你为什么不想着去竞争马上就要到来的东京奥运会呢？
Liu Guoliang personally instructed Sun Yingsha
从刘国梁的话语中不难看出，当时面临丁宁、刘诗雯、陈梦等老将割据，此时的老刘已经开始为当时女队人才梯队建设暗自发力，而刘国梁心中梯队建设的人选名单中就有了孙颖莎。
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Liu Guoliang did not have high requirements for Sun Yingsha, mainly exercise!
From Liu Guoliang's wait-and-see
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha, as a national table tennis player, has become famous and has achieved a series of good results. 在出征东京之前，刘国梁告诉孙颖莎：“希望你能够在东京奥运会轻装上阵，像猛虎下山一样去展示自己。 ”
Sun Yingsha before the Tokyo Olympics
It is not difficult to see from Liu Guoliang's message before the game that the moon and a half at that time did not ask too much for Sun Yingsha, but only regarded Sun Yingsha as a key training object of national table tennis and let her experience the baptism of the Olympic competition.
Liu Guoliang's pre-game guidance
In Liu Guoliang's heart at this time, perhaps we can interpret it this way, that is, Sun Yingsha, it doesn't matter whether you win the championship or not, the key is to play your due level in the competition and accumulate experience for the next Olympic championship.
Liu Guoliang encouraged Sun Yingsha before the game
In other words, the task of winning the championship at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics did not fall on Sun Yingsha's shoulders.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Liu Guoliang began to realize that Sun Yingsha had a promising future!
Sun Yingsha shines in Tokyo
“孙颖莎无疑是这届里面最耀眼的新星，虽然女单没能拿冠军，但在国人的心中已经超过了冠军的影响力，她靠自己的实力和表现征服世界乒坛。 ”这是刘国梁在东京奥运接受采访时给予孙颖莎的第一评价。
Sun Yingsha vs. Misei Ito
In this Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha completed the "double kill" against the biggest rival of national table tennis in the team and women's singles, Misei Ito, and made great contributions to the national table tennis championship. Therefore, based on Sun Yingsha's excellent performance, Liu Guoliang gave such a high evaluation.
Liu Guoliang
"Sun Yingsha is a very clean child, her personality is as unentangled as playing, I think she is an idol of the new era!"
After winning the World Cup until Qiu Yike coached, Liu Guoliang said, "Sun Yingsha can be entrusted with important responsibilities because there is no intrigue"
Sun Yingsha won the World Cup
After the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha won the World Cup again, and after experiencing the free-range breeding coached by Li Falcon, Chen Xi and many others, she finally ushered in Qiu Yike's ownership.
Sun Yingsha Qiu Yike
How many hardships, ups and downs, and unfairness experienced during the period, I believe Liu Guoliang can also see it clearly, he must be not only a table tennis person, but also a person who has come over, this may also be a passive test for Sun Yingsha in a special period, but fortunately, Sun Yingsha has carried it down one by one, and has also handed over a relatively satisfactory answer.
Liu Guoliang and Sun Yingsha
"In your world, there are not too many cares, there are not too many intrigues, and you can even go against the grain, this is the most distinctive quality in you, you must continue to maintain it!" So far, Sun Yingsha has been inseparable from Liu Guoliang's expectations.
Sun Yingsha won the Asian Games, Liu Guoliang said: "Sun Yingsha already has the temperament of a leader!"
Liu Guoliang
In the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, although the combination of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu lost to Japan's young players Zhang Benmei and Kihara Miyu, this obviously cannot be attributed to Sun Yingsha alone.
Liu Guoliang presented the award to Sun Yingsha
In the women's singles competition, Sun Yingsha played steadily in the final, defeating Hina Hayata, Japan's highest call to win the championship, with a score of 4-1, and successfully won the women's singles championship of the Asian Games.
Liu Guoliang was full of praise for Sun Yingsha
The Asian Games can be regarded as a big exercise before the Paris Olympics, and the main opponent of national table tennis must be Japan and South Korea, based on Sun Yingsha's performance in the Asian Games, Liu Guoliang said: "Sun Yingsha won glory for the country with her outstanding performance, and won the game with bravery and wisdom. She played a leading role on the field, she is not only a representative of skill and strength, but also the heart and soul of the team. ”这样大家都能听出来，进军巴黎奥运的女队领袖孙颖莎无疑铁板钉钉！
Sun Yingsha
Now that the Paris Olympics are getting closer and closer, Sun Yingsha, as the world No. 1 has already locked in the Olympic women's singles qualification. From being tempted, to waiting, to being affirmed, and finally winning trust, Sun Yingsha has gone through the most difficult steps in her career.
Sun Yingsha, Liu Guoliang
Now Sun Yingsha is facing the "last mile" of the highest honor in her career, we have every reason to believe in Liu Guoliang's cognition, believe in Sun Yingsha's strength, and wish Sun Yingsha to realize her dream of Paris, and wish the Paris Olympics national table tennis to create another brilliant future!
