At present, the Incheon Championship has ended, and the Chinese team has returned to China to continue to prepare for the Macau World Cup, while the Japanese team has also returned to China to continue to prepare, hoping to play against the Chinese team again and achieve good results.
Just a few days ago, after Zhang Benmeihe returned to Japan, she accepted an interview with Japanese domestic media, in this interview, she took the initiative to rarely mention the national table tennis demon Sun Yingsha by name, and the 12-word bold words caused a lot of controversy.
Looking back at the last two matches, in the Singapore Grand Slam and the Incheon Championship, Zhang Ben Miwa lost to the Chinese team in both heavy losses. First of all, in the Singapore Grand Slam women's singles 1/8 finals, Sun Yingsha swept Zhang Benmeihe 3-0 to advance to the quarterfinals, and in the recent Incheon Championships women's singles 1/8 finals, Chen Meng also defeated Zhang Ben Miwa 3-0. It can be said that Zhang Benmeihe's main players against the Chinese team in the last two important competitions did not win a single game, which is undoubtedly a very big blow to her.
When returning to China to be interviewed by the Japanese media this time, Zhang Benmeihe admitted that Sun Yingsha is indeed very powerful, and she is outstanding among so many masters. But it is precisely because Sasha is very good that Zhang Benmeihe suddenly has a clear goal, and she used 12 words to release a bold statement, that is, to win the world's first Olympic gold medal. There is no doubt that Zhang Benmei and such a goal are very ambitious. It can be seen that through the recent international competition, this little girl has firmly determined the ultimate goal of life.
Of course, if you look at it the other way around, Zhang Benmeihe's setting such a high life plan and goal is definitely not a good thing for the Chinese team. After all, Zhang Benmeihe is only a teenager now, but his strength is very fierce, and he has already fought with the main forces of the Chinese team. If Zhang Benmei is given a few more years to further improve her experience and ability, her threat to the Chinese team in the future will undoubtedly be very great. Therefore, some fans joked that this time Zhang Benmeihe returned to China and took the initiative to mention Sun Yingsha, and he actually dared to release the bold words of wanting to win the world's No. 1, which just proved that Sasha and Chen Meng were not heavy enough in the game before, so she still had illusions.
If in the next important competitions such as the Macau World Cup, Zhang Benmei and a fatal blow are given to her doubting life, I believe she will be completely convinced, and she will no longer have much hope, and she also hopes to defeat Sun Yingsha and other Chinese team masters to become the world's first and reach the highest podium of the Olympic Games.
In fact, from the current point of view, the Japanese team does not have the strength to catch up with the Chinese team for the time being. Including Miu Hirano and Misei Ito a few years ago who said that they wanted to beat the Chinese team and become world champions. As a result, after so many years, they have never achieved this goal, after all, while the Japanese team is improving, the Chinese team is also constantly studying their tactical routines and looking for ways to overcome them. So for the fans, there's no need to worry too much.
However, since the opponent has set such a grand goal, it is still necessary for the national table tennis coaching staff to pay attention to it. It is important to prepare for the Games in all aspects to avoid an upset at the next Paris Olympics.
