With the eyes of table tennis fans around the world focused on the just-concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam tournament, the Chinese table tennis team once again showed its unparalleled competitive style. Despite the twists and turns in the course of the competition, the national table tennis team successfully won the championship trophy and defended its hegemony in the international table tennis arena by virtue of team cooperation and individual tenacious struggle. However, behind the brilliant victory, the coaching ability of the national table tennis coaching staff has become the focus of heated discussions.
As the Paris Olympics draw closer, the importance of coaching becomes even more prominent. When Li Falcon's departure became a foregone conclusion, the choice of his replacement attracted widespread attention in the table tennis world. Three coaches, Wang Hao, Ma Lin and Xiao Zhan, became popular candidates. First, let's focus on Marlene.
As the head of the national table tennis women's team, Ma Lin occupied a leading position in the competition with her deep mentor-apprentice relationship with Liu Guoliang when she first took office. With his unique coaching philosophy and rigorous training methods, he has built the national table tennis women's team into a strong team with changeable tactics, and has achieved great results repeatedly. However, as the game progressed, Marin's coaching ability gradually revealed problems. He relied too much on the relationship with Liu Guoliang, lacked innovation and flexibility in employing people and tactical arrangements, especially in the selection of the Olympic team, his employment ideas were not clear, which caused the outside world to have doubts about the Olympic prospects of the national table tennis women's team.
At the same time, Xiao Zhan, the leader of the mixed doubles team, gradually emerged. Although he does not have a deep relationship with Liu Guoliang, Xiao Zhan has led the national table tennis mixed doubles team to achieve excellent results in various competitions with his deep understanding of mixed doubles and excellent coaching ability. His tactical arrangement and on-the-spot adaptability won praise from players and spectators alike. As Li Zhan gradually gave up the old way of employing people and paid more attention to the players' foreign combat ability and business ability, Xiao Zhan's status gradually improved and became a strong contender to replace Li Falcon.
In this fierce competition, Wang Hao also showed his strength. With his rich coaching experience and rigorous work attitude, he has built the national table tennis men's team into a team with unity and cooperation and strong combat effectiveness, and has won many good results. However, compared with Ma Lin and Xiao Zhan, Wang Hao is slightly less innovative in employing people and tactical arrangements, which puts him at a relative disadvantage in the competition. With the departure of Li Falcon a foregone conclusion, the position of the head coach of national table tennis is about to usher in a new owner.
In this competition, the three coaches Ma Lin, Xiao Zhan and Wang Hao showed their strengths, but in order to successfully replace Li Falcon, they still need to make more efforts in coaching ability, employment ideas and tactical innovation. In the end, who can become the new head coach of national table tennis is not only about personal honor, but also about the future development of China's table tennis industry. We look forward to the new head coach of national table tennis to lead the national table tennis to continue to write brilliant and create new achievements for the Chinese table tennis industry.
