Zhu Ting responded to the defeat of the national team: Serie A competition is fierce and fatigue + back injury and strive to prepare for return
On February 19, according to domestic media reports, Zhu Ting, the former women's volleyball captain who is currently playing for Scandicci in Italy, said in an interview that she will work hard to adjust her physical and technical condition and prepare to return to the national team.
On February 18, the Volleyball Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports announced the 22-person training list of the new Chinese women's volleyball team, and Jiangsu women's volleyball player Zhang Changning returned to the national team squad for the first time, while Zhu Ting, who currently plays in Serie A, was not selected for the squad.
This year is the Olympic year, and the priority of the Chinese women's volleyball team is to stabilize the world ranking in the national league that began in May and get the Olympic ticket.
Zhu Ting said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the competition in Scandic in February was very intensive, and she felt a little tired. The Italian league is close to the level and the intensity of the game is high. At present, at the age of 29, her body is not recovering as quickly as when she was younger. Recently, I had a pain in my lower back and needed rehabilitation after the race.
Zhu Ting said that it is her responsibility and desire to fight for the country, and she hopes that when she returns to the national team, she can devote herself to training and competitions in the best condition, and bring substantial contributions and help to the national team. In the coming period, Zhu Ting said that she will play well in club games, actively adjust her physical and technical condition, and strive to prepare for returning to the national team.
Zhu Ting is the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Lang Ping era to return to the top of the world, helping the national team win the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and two World Cup champions, and also suffered a group defeat with the women's volleyball team at the Tokyo Olympics.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Lang Ping stepped down from the national team, and Jiangsu women's volleyball head coach Cai Bin took over, Cai Bin extended an olive branch to Zhu Ting in the past two years, but Zhu Ting did not accept the invitation of the national team because of the recovery of a wrist injury. However, this year's Paris Olympics is imminent, and Zhu Ting's return is very important for the Chinese women's volleyball team to strive for good results in the Olympics.
In this regard, netizens said, "Far away, from the past year (May last year to today), Zhu Ting's many text interviews + video interviews + personal Weibo have expressed that the most important goal of surgery + rehabilitation is to return to the national team to play for the country, and also expressed expectations for this year (the event)." Zhu Ting's attitude has been very clear"
"Zhu Ting's determination to serve the country has always been there, and the rest is not up to the athletes"
"How is Tingbao's back injury? Also, can you leave the barrier early?"
"Zhu Ting has gone through too many hardships in the Tokyo cycle, and she has done all her hard work and persistence in order to return to the court, and I hope God can treat her well"
"The most important thing is to protect yourself, slowly adjust your state, and love you all the way."
