Chinese women's volleyball player Zheng Yixin was selected for the Olympic squad for the first time, this is her third time in the Olympic Games, and it will also be her last. Finally, she succeeded! So why was Zheng Yixin qualified for the Paris Olympics? The reason is simple, because of her personal strength!
First of all, let's take a look at her legend: she made her debut at the 2013 World Junior Championships and won the championship. The players at her time were basically volleyball stars, and even world famous players such as: Zhu Ting, Yang Fangxu, Wang Mengjie, etc. Being selected into such a glorious collective shows that her strength is extraordinary. After that, due to the abundance of talents in the secondary offensive position of the Chinese women's volleyball team, she did not have many advantages in her skills and her own conditions and was not selected for the national team. However, she switched to beach volleyball and was selected for the national beach volleyball team. This is an extremely rare existence, among the famous players of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there are not many who have played beach volleyball, such as: Zhang Changning, Yan Ni, Xu Yunli, etc., have not been selected for the beach volleyball national team.
When the time came to 2018, Zheng Yixin had returned to the women's volleyball national team at this time, but instead of playing a secondary attack, he responded. And also led the team to the Swiss Women's Volleyball Classic as the captain, you know, this is the key training and trust of Director Lang Ping. Obviously, Director Lang Ping wanted to transform her into a strong response, but the effect was not too good, and then she returned to the secondary attack position. In the 2019 World League finals, Zheng Yixin helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the bronze medal with his partner Wang Yuanyuan as the main assistant attacker. That game can be said to be Zheng Yixin's pinnacle battle. We see that Zheng Yixin's heroic posture on the field as a secondary attacker, her running attack is almost incomprehensible, how to play. Her back is even more wrong, and the opponent can't keep up with her rhythm at all. Later, he participated in the 2019 World Cup with his wonderful performance in the World League and won the championship.
After the Tokyo Olympics, due to serious problems in the receiving position, Zheng Yixin played again to respond. And he has been working hard in this position for three years. Although it is said that in these three years, there are very few opportunities to play. Sometimes even playing doesn't play too much of a good role, but there is no way, and now there is no one in the country to compare with her except Gong Xiangyu. And in the past three years, the only people who have supported the position are Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin. The skills of the newcomers are not as good as her, and no one can compare with the veterans. So there will definitely be a place for her at the Paris Olympics.
Many, many fans compared her with Wang Yunrui, saying that she won the Paris Olympics after three years of shooting, but Wang Yunrui played the main force for three years but was defeated. For this reason, Wang Yunrui is upset, which is an extremely wrong view, because they play in different positions. Zheng Yixin was selected for the Paris Olympics entirely because of her personal strength, while Wang Yunrui was not selected because her level was not good at all. There is no comparison between the two of them.
