Some fans said that Ma Lin only cares about the two disciples, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, and he doesn't want Wang Manyu to win at all. And Ma Lin also encountered a coaching crisis, fans said that Sun Yingsha's head coach Qiu Yike has a stronger ability to coach on the spot, and can provide good tactical advice to players when they encounter difficulties in the game. Marin left the impression on the fans that he was even more panicked than the players on the field when the players encountered difficulties in the game.
Marin is indeed more passionate, usually passionate coaches have passionate ideas, and he is mainly encouraged in the game. Ma Lin is indeed more interested in Wang Yidi and Chen Meng, as long as he becomes his disciple, he will provide all kinds of help without hesitation. It should be said that everyone wants to become Ma Lin's disciple, and he has indeed proved this with practical actions.
From Liu Shiwen to Wang Yidi, Ma Lin has been conscientious as the head coach. Although the current Chen Meng and Wang Yidi have their own head coaches, Ma Lin still takes special care of the two former disciples. He has always wanted these two disciples to compete in the Olympic Games, and he has put a lot of energy into this Olympic cycle.
When the World Table Tennis Championships selection was carried out in the first half of 2023, Chen Meng encountered difficulties in the selection competition at that time, and Ma Lin said for the first time that Chen Meng was the core player of the Olympic cycle of national table tennis, which dispelled the doubts of fans. Wang Yidi was able to get a place in the Asian Games singles Chen Tournament last year, and Ma Lin was under a lot of pressure from public opinion.
Marin doesn't care what the fans think of him, it should be said that this is a very real coach, and there is no problem with the players he likes to focus on. Because Chen Meng and Wang Yidi were both his disciples, Ma Lin still knows these two disciples very well, and he is very confident that he will train them to become Grand Slam players.
However, at present, the best run-in with Ma Lin is Wang Manyu, Ma Lin's coaching style is based on encouragement, which is the biggest difference between him and other coaches. Wang Manyu's ability to resist pressure is relatively strong, and Ma Lin is indeed very suitable for her off-court guidance. Ma Lin kept applauding and encouraging Wang Manyu outside the court when he encountered difficulties in the game, which gave Wang Manyu a lot of confidence.
Ma Lin has only been coaching women's table tennis for more than a year, and he doesn't know too much about other players, but he knows Chen Meng and Wang Yidi best, and it is normal to choose to reuse these two disciples, after all, they are familiar with each other. However, now Ma Lin is also impressed by Wang Manyu, so after more than a year of running-in, Ma Lin mainly serves as the off-court guide for Chen Meng and Wang Manyu.
Chen Meng has been a disciple of Ma Lin since 2019, and the two sides have been running in for a long time. After Ma Lin became the head coach, she has also been serving as Chen Meng's off-court coach, and now Chen Meng has not won a singles championship for two years, and should indeed continue to work hard to win a singles championship in this regard. This is the goal that Ma Lin and Chen Meng pursue together, and I believe that with the passage of time, the pair of masters and apprentices will definitely be able to complete the goal.
At present, Wang Yidi's off-court guidance has been replaced by Qiu Yike, and after the women's team final of the Busan Group World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Yidi's off-court guidance is not Ma Lin. Wang Yidi is a strong player, but he needs to be strengthened in terms of adaptability. She asked Qiu Tieke to be her off-court coach in order to provide her with more tactical help when she encountered difficulties in the game.
In the Incheon Championship Eight-in-Four match, Wang Manyu's head coach Xu Hui also served as an off-court guide for Wang Yidi. Because Wang Yidi's head coach Li Dacheng did not participate with the team, Ma Lin and Qiu Yike gave her off-court guidance for more than a year. Wang Yidi needs a tactical off-court coach, and Ma Lin is an encouraging off-court coach with a different style.
Therefore, Wang Yidi's change of off-court coach is also to prepare for the competition for the Olympic team competition, and the style of each player is different, and the coach he chooses is also different. Now the national table tennis advocates that coaches and players choose each other, and each player is looking for their own suitable off-court guidance. Although Wang Manyu also has his own head coach, since Ma Lin became the head coach, he has cooperated with Wang Manyu the most.
Since Ma Lin became the head coach on January 1, 2023, Wang Manyu has won the singles championship of the 2023 Macau Championships, the singles championship of the Asian Championships, the singles championship of the Taiyuan Challenger, and the singles championship of the 2024 Singapore event. Judging from the event where Wang Manyu won the singles championship, the gold content is very high, and Ma Lin is also very pleased as an off-court coach.
Therefore, it is not easy for players to find a good off-court coach, and since Wang Yidi partnered with Qiu Yike, the impression left on fans is that the tactics are much more flexible. Wang Yidi also believes that Qiu Yike is more calm as an off-court coach and can point out the way to solve it when she encounters difficulties, and Wang Yidi and Qiu Yike have won the recognition of fans at the same time.
An excellent coach must have excellent players as a backing, and equally excellent players must have excellent coaches in order to achieve good results, and both of them improve each other. It is precisely because Wang Yidi changed the off-field coach that Qiu Yike's coaching ability is far stronger than Ma Lin in the eyes of fans.
In fact, this is all relative, but the different degrees of run-in between the players and the coach reflect the different competition results. It will be Ma Lin who will serve as the off-field coach in the Paris Olympics, so Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha will continue to run in with Ma Lin, so as to improve their performance.
Coaches have different coaching styles, so the coaching results given to the players are also different, and it can only be said that each has its own characteristics, if you want to say which coach has the best coaching performance? I believe that different fans have different answers.
