The first leg of the World Women's Volleyball League was officially played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 15, Beijing time.
The Chinese team needs to face South Korea, Serbia, Canada and the United States in Brazil, the South Korean team is the weakest team in the group, although the Chinese women's volleyball team won by a large score, but it is still not to be taken lightly, Canada and the United States are the biggest opponents of the Chinese team.
In this women's volleyball league, although Cai Bin's guidance is still dominated by the old lineup, we still saw a big change in this game, that is, the start of the 21-year-old Wu Mengjie.
As we all know, the head coach of the women's volleyball team, Cai Bin, is most criticized by fans for his reluctance to cultivate newcomers, and Wu Mengjie's start this time also proves Cai Bin's changes in the women's volleyball league.
This is Wu Mengjie's first start as a national team starter, and Li Yingying played diagonally directly throughout the game, 21-year-old Wu Mengjie is full of vitality, played well in serving and blocking, etc., and scored a total of 14 points in the game, only 3 points less than the first main attacker Li Yingying, the highest efficiency value of the whole game, and the performance is very comprehensive, which can be called the "number one hero" of the victory in this competition!
Although Cai Bin guided the trip with a lot of veterans, the main starters are still mainly young players, the oldest starter is Diao Linyu, who was born in 94, and veterans such as Zhang Changning and Ding Xia are substitutes, and the playing time is not much.
It is worth mentioning that only one of the 14-member list of the women's volleyball team did not get the opportunity to play, that is, Wang Yunrui, the starter of the previous national team.
Cai Bin guided the abandonment of Wang Yunrui this time, the specific reason is not yet known, but the majority of fans applauded this decision, and many fans said: According to Wang Yunrui's state and performance, she should have been removed from the national team a long time ago, but Cai Bin let her play as a starter in the national team, I really don't understand why!
Now for the first time in the women's volleyball league, Wang Yunrui was kicked out of the starting list, and the whole game was pressed on the bench, Cai Bin's guidance can be regarded as following the opinions of the majority of netizens, and the effect is very good!
According to the current women's volleyball lineup, after Zhu Ting's return, Wang Yunrui will completely lose her position in the national team, and it is estimated that in the Macau and Hong Kong games, Wang Yunrui may not appear in the women's volleyball team, and she may not even be able to play in the Paris Olympics!
In the 2023 World Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team suffered three consecutive defeats and finally lost its qualification for the Olympic Games.
As the "successor of the national team" of Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, Wang Yunrui scored only 7 goals in 20 smashes in three games, facing European and American players, Wang Yunrui's threat was directly halved, and he could not even reach the level of professional athletes, and many netizens repeatedly complained: The abandoned general of the Lang Ping era, Cai Bin is regarded as a baby!
Now the Chinese women's volleyball team has stood on the edge of the cliff, if the women's volleyball league does not play well, the Chinese women's volleyball team will even miss the Olympic Games, head coach Cai Bin finally reacted, Wang Mengjie, Wang Yifan and other new generation forces in the main position, vigorously cultivating and enabling new talents is the key to the longevity of the Chinese women's volleyball team!
