The dust has settled! The national table tennis announced the list of women's team finals, and Ma Lin adhered to the principle of employing people and did not give Wang Manyu a chance
On February 24, 2024, the latest news came from the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, the list of women's team finals was announced, the head coach of the national table tennis insisted on the principle of employing people, and the top three in the singles world played, and Wang Manyu, who ranked fourth, did not have a chance to play.
The order of appearance in the final was announced, and neither side changed the lineup or substitutions, but still followed the previous arrangement, Sun Yingsha vs Zhang Benmeihe in the first set, Chen Meng vs Hina Hayada in the second set, Wang Yidi vs Miyu Hirano in the third set, Sun Yingsha vs Hina Hayada in the fourth set, Chen Meng vs Miwa Zhang Ben in the fifth set, head coach Ma Lin served as an off-court guide, and Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong cheered for their teammates.
The head coach of the Japanese women's team, Takehiro Watanabe, once predicted that Wang Manyu would play in the finals, the reason was that he had good results in foreign battles, and had defeated Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, and Miyu Hirano many times in the past, maintaining a good winning rate.
In fact, it can be seen from the performance in the group stage that Wang Manyu's recent foreign war has indeed been eye-catching, when Sun Yingsha lost to Ashika Mukherjee and Wang Yidi lost to Akula, the two main forces did not adapt to the special style of play and lost points, and the national table tennis encountered difficulties that were never imagined.
However, the coaching staff said first, the team knockout round will be the highest-ranked three, which led to the end of the group stage, Wang Manyu, as the hero of the victory over the Indian team, failed to win the opportunity to continue to play, many fans did not understand this, but Ma Lin insisted on the principle and strictly abided by the regulations, Wang Manyu was really unable to do the fourth, and Wang Yidi was reused, which caused some controversy.
And the World Table Tennis Championships is an Olympic selection points, the number of appearances is very low, Wang Manyu himself is ranked behind, and now absent from the finals, the gap is inevitably opened by the players in front, if you want to stand on the highest stage, I am afraid it will gradually drift away, on the other hand, the coaching staff also considers, although Wang Yidi is ranked second, but if you have to play, it is obviously more secure to put it in the position of three singles.
In fact, the reason why Wang Yidi is questioned more today is mainly because of the relationship between losing foreign wars, in everyone's opinion, there is no Wang Manyu who is suitable, but her points are ranked in front, it is impossible to abandon the second in the world, it has nothing to do with other associations, this is the regulation of the Chinese team's coaching, which led to the fourth Wang Manyu being hidden, and finally I hope that the three main forces will do their best and win the Japanese women's team to successfully defend the title, come on!
