The eels missed the women's singles, and this decision of the national table tennis has attracted widespread attention. Mr. Zhang Xuefeng and Zhang Yining and other industry insiders have spoken out, believing that this decision is reasonable. Judging by the Eel's performance and media attitude, the decision was not abrupt.
Pursuing a career in sports at home, athletes are under tremendous pressure. This pressure stems from political, social, and family expectations. From coaches to athletes, everyone has the responsibility of bringing glory to the country. While this notion is correct, it ignores the joy and satisfaction of the individual athlete.
Athletes such as Eel, Sasha, and Chen Meng are admirable for their persistence and hard work on the field. However, as they do their best, should the coaches and teams they know and trust the most be more likely to fight for their deserve while considering the harmony factor?
The Eel's stable playing style and strong mental quality in major competitions have won the respect of fans all over the world. However, the eel's personality and emotional intelligence problems became a stumbling block in her career. Born in an ordinary family, she focuses on table tennis, but because of this, she is considered to have low emotional intelligence. This kind of focused and straightforward personality may work abroad, but at home it is seen as a sign of low emotional intelligence.
The contradiction between the eel and his mentor Xiao Zhan was unilaterally described by the media as the eel's ingratitude. Especially in the competition, Xiao Zhan's awkward look when facing the eel intensified this speculation. This focus and emotional intelligence problem has become the reason why eels are not adapted to the domestic sports environment.
