As we all know, the national table tennis coaching staff recently announced the full list of participants in the Paris Olympics, among which Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha won the women's singles ticket to the Paris Olympics, while Wang Manyu unfortunately failed to win the team competition.
With the announcement of the list of national table tennis for the Paris Olympics, there has been a huge controversy in the outside world. Many fans believe that Wang Manyu is more qualified to participate in the singles competition of the Paris Olympics than Chen Meng, because in this Olympic cycle, Wang Manyu has won ten world championships and doubles championships. In contrast, Chen Meng, in addition to a slightly outstanding Olympic points, is lackluster in terms of individual honors and awards.
As the controversy over the women's singles list became bigger and bigger, just recently, some fans turned out what Wang Manyu said in an exclusive interview when preparing for the game in March. It can be seen from this Paris Olympics cycle, Wang Manyu's preparation has really experienced too many twists and turns, and it is not easy.
It can be seen from the interview video at that time that Wang Manyu mainly talked about some specific issues in preparing for the Paris Olympics this year. Among them, Wang Manyu focused on a cruel and helpless fact that he faced, that is, as the Paris Olympics got closer and closer, Wang Manyu couldn't find too many opportunities to test his performance and gain more points advantages. So Wang Manyu smiled helplessly in the interview.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Manyu said that he could only rely on himself to find a way to improve his state and strive for more advantages. But whether he could achieve his Olympic goal or not, in fact, Wang Manyu did not have much confidence at that time. I believe that many fans will feel sad for Wang Manyu after seeing this interview. Wang Manyu has really not been easy to come along the way, and has suffered too much, saying that the rich children of poor families have long been in charge, and Wang Manyu has also paid a lot but still falls short.
Now it seems that Wang Manyu is really a pity, because he failed to win the key game in the Saudi Grand Slam competition, and was finally deducted 3,000 points, leaving a very big regret for bidding farewell to the singles competition of the Paris Olympics, and his efforts in the past few years seem to have been completely in vain. In such a situation, while sympathizing with Wang Manyu, fans couldn't help but criticize Ma Lin, the head coach of the national table tennis women's team.
Many fans believe that Ma Lin, as the head coach, has failed Wang Manyu. After all, judging from the employment arrangement of the Paris Olympic cycle, Wang Manyu did not get as many opportunities to participate as Chen Meng. For example, in the previous Busan World Table Tennis Championships team competition, after the national table tennis women's team entered the knockout round, the three main forces fixed by the national table tennis women's team were Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi, and Wang Manyu was completely excluded.
In the end, Wang Manyu gained a lot fewer points than Chen Meng in this competition, and suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, for the coaching staff led by Ma Lin, how to respond to the controversy from the outside world and give fans a satisfactory answer is very crucial.
