Ma Long and Wang Manyu both lost in the Saudi Arabian game, which really distressed the fans. This is not just as simple as losing a few games, it simply makes the majesty of national table tennis discounted. Our national table tennis has always been a winning general in the competition, why did it plant it this time?
It all started with the Saudi Grand Slam. Ma Long played against Zhang Yuzhen this time, and it made people feel wrong as soon as they came up. He is usually calm and composed, but this time he looks a little impatient, and he makes several simple mistakes in a row, do you say that he is angry? As expected, with a score of 0-3, he was directly pressed to the ground by the opponent and rubbed. This can't help but make people ask, is this the Marlon we are familiar with?
Wang Manyu's situation is not much better. Against her Indian opponent, her serve and smash were noticeably less than they used to be. Originally, she had the advantage of both technology and experience, but she was overwhelmed by the opponent's strange playing style, and finally lost 1-3. The Chinese fans in the audience couldn't help but shake their heads, what kind of tricks did this game play?
Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan also suffered the same fate, the good game that was originally leading was reversed by the opponent, this kind of transformation from heaven to hell is simply dumbfounded. Was it too much pressure in the game, or was there something else that caused them to drop the chain at a critical moment?
Speaking of those responsible, after this game, the coaching staff became the target of public criticism. Ma Long's head coach Wang Hao has been criticized a lot. The preparation and recovery before the game were obviously not in place, resulting in Ma Long's complete form. And Wang Manyu's coach Ma Lin is obviously not prepared for the opponent's unique style of play, and the tactical arrangement is also inadequate.
Liu Guoliang, as the head coach, must have made him feel very anxious about the result this time. In the face of the upcoming Paris Olympics, such a performance is clearly not qualified. It can be seen from his expression after the game that the head coach, who has always been calm and calm, must have mixed feelings in his heart, and urgently needs to find the root cause of the problem and make corresponding adjustments.
This defeat is not only a blow to the players, but also a wake-up call for the entire national table tennis team. The wins and losses of a game are important, but it is even more important to learn from them and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. The fans of national table tennis are also in an uproar, and the discussion on the Internet is very hot, everyone is looking for the reason, and they also express their expectations and concerns about the future competition.
It can be seen from this competition that even the top national table tennis teams have omissions and shortcomings. Although this defeat is painful, it is not necessarily a good thing. It is only through setbacks that we can see our own shortcomings and be stronger in the future games. Liu Guoliang and the coaching team must carefully analyze this loss, find out the problem, adjust the team's training and tactical deployment, and ensure that they can recover in the next games and show the level that national table tennis should have.
Overall, this defeat in Saudi Arabia, although sad, is also part of the growth. The national table tennis players need to keep the lesson of this time in mind, and we, as fans, should also give them more support and understanding. After all, no one can have smooth sailing, and what matters is the ability to get up after a fall.
For Liu Guoliang, this anxiety and nervousness is a must, but it is also an important opportunity to comprehensively review and adjust the team's strategy and mentality. After all, the Paris Olympics are getting closer and closer, and every competition is not just a simple battle for one championship after another, but also a comprehensive test of the team's strength and cohesion.
