Recently, the Chinese women's volleyball team is preparing for the World League, and according to the schedule, the Chinese women's volleyball team will go to Brazil on May 15 to start the first match. As the schedule gradually approaches, I will share with you the personnel arrangements for the first game.
First of all, on May 15, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play the South Korean women's volleyball team first in Brazil. Of course, the life-and-death battle of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the group stage this time is not against the South Korean women's volleyball team, but against the United States women's volleyball team at 4:30 a.m. on May 17. Because the strength of the Korean women's volleyball team is very weak, the Chinese women's volleyball team should be able to sweep the opponent with a score of 3-0 and get off to a good start.
Entering the second game is a face-to-face match, against the old rival of the American women's volleyball team. If the Chinese women's volleyball team can achieve good results in this game, it will definitely be able to chase after the victory in the future, and have stronger confidence to defeat the two opponents of Serbia and Canada. Therefore, for the Chinese women's volleyball team, this game against the United States women's volleyball team is very important.
But what worries the coaching staff is that as this game is approaching, Zhu Ting will not be able to play in this game, which will undoubtedly make the results of the entire team variable. After all, it is very clear that Zhu Ting is now competing for the championship in the finals of the Serie A league, and her team has just suffered two consecutive defeats recently.
Therefore, in a short period of time, Zhu Ting has no way to return to the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in joint training and competitions, and Cai Yibin has also revealed in a recent interview with official media that he hopes Zhu Ting will return before the start of the second stop in Macau. This means that Zhu Ting has no way to participate in the 4 group games of the first stop. So in the next game against the American women's volleyball team, Zhu Ting will naturally be absent.
In addition, the absence of another player has made many fans regret very much, that is, Yao Di, who did not participate in the training camp. Yao Di, as the ace setter of the Chinese women's volleyball team, has been in very good shape in recent years, and teamed up with Zhu Ting to achieve good results in Scandic last season. But for some reason, Cai Bin has not recruited Yao Di into the training team of the Chinese women's volleyball team in recent years, resulting in Yao Di having no way to serve the country. In such a situation, it is also a huge loss for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
From this point of view, in the life-and-death battle between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the American women's volleyball team, veterans and aces, including Zhu Ting, have no way to play. In such a situation, whether Cai Bin can use last season's lineup to defeat the American women's volleyball team is estimated to be a very big problem.
After all, in Zhu Ting's absence, although Zhang Changning has joined, her state cannot be guaranteed, so the main force to face these strong opponents of the American women's volleyball team in the follow-up is estimated to be the lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the past two years. Considering that the overall results of the Chinese women's volleyball team last year were not ideal, it is not easy to say whether this team can fight back this year.
If the Chinese women's volleyball team can play a good performance and correct last year's problems, the Chinese women's volleyball team should be able to reach a higher peak this year with Zhu Ting joining the team again. If because of Zhu Ting's absence, the results of the Chinese women's volleyball team are very bad, and it may be difficult to save the team even if Zhu Ting returns.
For Cai Bin and the entire Chinese women's volleyball team, they still have to rely on themselves to play in good shape first, and then Zhu Ting's return is the icing on the cake.
