In this hot summer, what is everyone talking about? Tokyo Olympics, of course! As a table tennis enthusiast, I believe that many friends are paying attention to the performance of Chinese women's table tennis, especially Chen Meng, who is the main force, is undoubtedly in everyone's minds, but unexpectedly, the No. 1 player unexpectedly missed the championship, which makes people full of questions, isn't it easy to enter the final to fight for the gold medal? What the hell is going on?
The picture comes from the Internet
We have to start from the background of the whole incident, speaking of Liu Guoliang, he is a legendary coach in the table tennis world, has experienced ups and downs, and led the team to win countless gold medals, and made great achievements for the country, this Tokyo Olympics, Liu Guoliang naturally hopes that the Chinese women's table tennis can continue to maintain its advantages and win the first place, and in this team competition, the four members of the women's table tennis team, all of them are strong players, of course, Chen Meng's figure is indispensable, but in the end, Chen Meng did not appear in the final championship
After many friends saw this result, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, it is not difficult for everyone to find that Liu Guoliang's arrangement in this game seems to be a little unusual, there is a good saying, war sometimes does not rely on brute force, but victory also depends on strategy, just like on the chessboard, Liu Guoliang may have already planned for every move, his adjustment is not arbitrary, but has a well-thought-out tactical consideration
The picture comes from the Internet
Next, let's analyze Liu Guoliang's intentions, it stands to reason that Chen Meng, as the world's No. 1 player, is naturally no suspense in the competition, but for Liu Guoliang, maybe he doesn't want to focus on the current game, but is more concerned about the future development, in the overall layout of the team, he may hope to exercise the ability of young players, prepare for the future Paris Olympics, you may remember that there were many young new faces in table tennis in previous years, and these supporters also tried different tactics, Perhaps Liu Guoliang also wants to take this opportunity to examine the strength of other players, find a more suitable partner, and strive to build a more impactful lineup in future competitions
Regarding Chen Meng's state, there are naturally various factors, as an athlete who has been in a high-pressure environment for a long time, she will inevitably encounter psychological or physical challenges, during this time she may be in the adjustment period, whether she can show the best condition, is the key to whether she can successfully advance, Liu Guoliang knows this very well, perhaps because he understands Chen Meng's current situation, he resolutely made this arrangement, so as not to let her bear more pressure
The picture comes from the Internet
After this incident, the discussion on the Internet was unprecedented, and some people felt sorry for Chen Meng and felt that her strength should not be buried; However, there are also many people who support Liu Guoliang's decision, believing that this is a long-term vision, looking at the lineup adjustments of other strong teams, such as Japan and Korea, their young players have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Liu Guoliang's purpose is to hope that the mainland table tennis team can take on greater responsibilities in the future and continue to shine on the international stage
What's more noteworthy is that Liu Guoliang's adjustment is not only limited to Chen Meng, as a coach, he has to consider the chemistry of the entire team, tacit cooperation, and even the collocation between players, such a choice is really significant for the whole team, Liu Guoliang needs to take a long-term view, cultivate more potential players, and lay a solid foundation for the future development of the entire table tennis team
The picture comes from the Internet
The speculation about Chen Meng's failure to appear in the championship is not only about her personally, but about the future direction of the whole team
I hope you can look at this incident with an open mind, whether it is on the field or in life, Liu Guoliang shows us a long-term planning and trust, if we can see the emergence of young players in the game, maybe this choice is worth it, looking forward to the future table tennis field is more exciting, and I hope that Chen Meng can adjust his state as soon as possible, and return to our sight again to bring us more surprises!
