There is still one month before the start of the 2024 Women's Volleyball World League, due to the return of Zhu Ting, the list of Chinese women's volleyball teams participating in the World League has been leaked, and the FIVB press release lists 23 participants. Like the last World League, the players who signed up for the World League were selected for the Chinese women's volleyball team plus Zhu Ting.
According to the rules of the volleyball game, only 14 people can participate in each game, which means that Cai Bin needs to choose 14 out of 23. So, which players will enter the final list? Or will they follow the team to participate? As far as the current situation is concerned, all the players and Zhu Ting who trained in Zhangzhou will enter the list, and the players who failed to train should be ironclad except Ding Xia who should not be able to participate in the World League.
The players who are determined not to participate in the World League should be the main attack Zhong Hui, the secondary attack Yang Hanyu and Zeng Jieya, and the response Duan Mengke and the free man Xu Jianan. Zhong Hui and Yang Hanyu participated in last year's World League, but there is no training camp this year, which shows that the two have temporarily fallen behind in the battle for national team places. Cai Bin gave Zhong Hui and Yang Hanyu many opportunities, but the two did not grasp it, and it was reasonable that they were not selected for the World League. Zeng Jieya, Duan Mengke and Xu Jiannan are the alternate candidates for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
On the main offensive line, Li Yingying, Wang Yizhu, Wang Yunrui, Wu Mengjie, Zhang Changning, Zhuang Yushan and Zhu Ting should all appear. Cai Bin will examine these main attacks one by one to determine the lineup of the Olympic Games, the main lineup and the rotation lineup, and the secondary attack should bring 4 people, namely Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan, Wang Wenhan and Gao Yi. Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan must be the main force, II-VI is the first substitute, Wang Wenhan will not appear for a lot of time, and there is a high probability that she will be the identity of "Miss Tourism", taking her to see the world.
Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin will be shortlisted, after all, there are only 2 responders in the training team, and they both played well in the last World League; I don't know if Cai Bin will give Ni Feifei some space to pass after this World League? If she is not allowed to practice one pass, after Wang Mengjie retires, the Chinese women's volleyball team's pass will become a big problem.
The setter Diao Linyu, Ding Xia and Xu Xiaoting are expected to appear. In the last World League, Ding Xia was absent because of injury, and now her injury situation has improved, and her performance in the Super League is also remarkable. Judging from the arrangement of Cai Bin's Olympic Games, Ding Xia is Diao Linyu's substitute, playing the role of pressing the formation, and it is likely that she is also a substitute for the Olympic Games, so she needs to strengthen the cooperation between her and the team through the World League. Xu Xiaoting is still based on exercise to prepare for the next cycle.
The 23-man World League list officially announced by the FIVB:
Main attack: He, Wang Yizhu, Wang Yunrui, Wu Mengjie, Zhang Changning, Zhong Hui, Zhuang Yushan, Zhu Ting
Secondary attack: Gao Yi, Wang Wenhan, Wang Yuanyuan, Yang Hanyu, Yuan Xinyue, Zeng Jieya, Zheng Yixin
Answer: Duan Mengke, Gong Xiangyu
Second setter: Diao Linyu, Ding Xia, Xu Xiaoting
Free people: Ni Feifei, Wang Mengjie, Xu Jianan
