With the passage of time, the new Women's Volleyball World League has finally kicked off, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will also face the challenge of its first opponent, the South Korean women's volleyball team. According to the schedule set by the FIVB, Brazil will also play against teams such as the United States, Canada and Serbia. If it goes well, the Chinese women's volleyball team is still very hopeful of qualifying for the Paris Olympics in advance, and everything depends on the final results of the Brazilian station. If the Chinese women's volleyball team can win all, then it will be the first to get the Olympic quota, even if it wins 3 games, it can also be one step closer to the Paris Olympics. However, for the Chinese women's volleyball team, the results of the World League are important, but the main battle of the team is also related to the future trend.
Because after entering the new Olympic cycle, head coach Cai Bin also promoted a number of players, put Diao Linyu in the position of the starting setter, and adjusted Wang Yunrui into Li Yingying's golden opposite corner, plus Xu Xiaoting's upper position, and Zheng Yixin, who changed to play, Cai Bin's adjustment to this team is still quite large. Therefore, the current Chinese women's volleyball team is also facing a new problem, that is, which players to send to the Olympic Games. According to the latest Olympic rules, the Chinese women's volleyball team can send up to 13 people to participate, of which 1 is as an injured alternate, and can be replaced if necessary, and the real participation in the Paris Olympics is still 12 people, which shows how fierce the competition of the Chinese women's volleyball team is.
From the latest list of participants announced in this World League, we can also know the results of the main battle in advance, and the two new stars seem to be out. Zhuang Yushan and Wang Yizhu, who are in the main attacking position, have been selected for the first week, and the opportunities for these two will obviously become less and less. Originally, the main offensive line was overcrowded, and Zhu Ting, who had not yet returned to the team, Cai Bin could really adjust the number of places very limited. Eliminating Zhuang Yushan and Wang Yizhu, and instead promoting Wu Mengjie and Zhang Changning into the rotation, is actually expected, these two have been deeply valued by Cai Bin as early as the Jiangsu women's volleyball team. Now that they have come to the national team, it is logical to be reused, not to mention that Wu Mengjie and Zhang Changning are indeed performing quite well, and the two of them are likely to lock in the Paris Olympics quota in advance.
In this way, not only will Zhuang Yushan and Wang Yizhu be eliminated in the main attack position, but Wang Yunrui's position also seems to be difficult to keep. After all, after Zhang Changning's return, the choice of the main offensive line has become more and more abundant, and at the same time, the superstar Wu Mengjie has sprung up, and Wang Yunrui has become more difficult, so the position of Wang Yunrui in the main offensive battle may not be saved. Let's talk about the situation of the secondary offensive line, with Wang Wenhan not being selected for the first week, II-VI became the third secondary offensive choice in the team as he wished. And there are only three secondary attacks in the Olympic Games, if nothing else, Cai Bin will still take these three people to the Paris Olympics, as for Yang Hanyu, who has not yet returned to the team, the situation has become more difficult, and her injury recovery will directly affect Yang Hanyu's future.
The second is the setter position, which is still a three-in-two situation, and Cai Bin does not seem to have made a break between Ding Xia and Xu Xiaoting. From the perspective of strength, Xu Xiaoting has a faster speed, stronger foot-moving ability, and a stable ability to play the ball, coupled with the advantage of age, Xu Xiaoting is more suitable for this Chinese women's volleyball team than Ding Xia. In other words, the setter position seems to be three into two, and the probability of Ding Xia being out is much greater than Xu Xiaoting's, and her only advantage is only experience. It is conceivable that the main battle of the Chinese women's volleyball team seems to be fierce, and there are still so many players who really have the opportunity to participate in the Paris Olympics.
Finally, let's talk about the receiving position and free man, Cai Bin does not have many cards to choose from, Gong Xiangyu, Zheng Yixin, and Wang Mengjie, these three can basically lock the Olympic quota in advance. Therefore, the main battle of the Chinese women's volleyball team has actually come to an end, and we also look forward to the Chinese women's volleyball team being able to shine in the Paris Olympics and bring different surprises!
