The Chinese women's volleyball team failed to successfully defend the title at the Tokyo Olympic Games, head coach Lang Ping does not renew the contract seems to be a matter of certainty, the discussion about who will become the next head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team has gradually increased recently, the current Assistant Coach of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team An Jiajie, Bao Zhuang, the leader Lai Yawen and wang Baoquan, one of the "four kings" of the league, are also popular candidates, even Chen Zhonghe, who has left the Head Coaching Position of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team for 12 years, has also entered everyone's sight again, in a word, As long as the coaches who are slightly involved with the Chinese women's volleyball team at present seem to have the possibility of replacing Lang Ping. Recently, there is another "famous coach" who has become the focus of discussion among fans, that is, Shen Qiong, who just led the Shanghai men's volleyball team to win the National Games championship, Shen Qiong led the Shanghai men's volleyball team to quickly "become popular" after 12 years of winning the National Games championship, leading the men's volleyball team to unbelievably become the "successor" of Lang Ping in the eyes of the fans.
Shen Qiong, born in 1981, is only 40 years old this year, when he was a player, he led the Shanghai men's volleyball team to win the league "nine consecutive championships" and the "two consecutive championships" of the National Games, after the end of the 2013 National Games, Shen Qiong chose to retire, the next year Shen Qiong became the head coach of the Shanghai men's volleyball team, this year Shen Qiong was only 33 years old, he was also questioned, but Shen Qiong proved himself with results, Shen Qiong coached the Shanghai men's volleyball team for the first year to win the league championship, after which he was out of control, leading the team to win the league championship for six consecutive times. Won the "six consecutive championships" of the Volleyball Super League, until last season, the Beijing men's volleyball team ended the Shanghai men's volleyball team's consecutive championship steps. From this, it can also be seen that whether as a player or a head coach, Shen Qiong is very successful, and his appointment as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team seems to be a good choice, after all, from the perspective of achievements, Shen Qiong is more than the other so-called "famous coaches", Shen Qiong has the hard power to coach the Chinese women's volleyball team.
However, Shen Qiong's weakness in coaching the Chinese women's volleyball team is very obvious, although he coached the Shanghai men's volleyball team with brilliant results, but he has never coached the women's volleyball team, the men's volleyball team and the women's volleyball team are after all two different projects, there are also physiological differences between the men's volleyball players and the women's volleyball players, coaching the men's volleyball team can be successful, coaching the women's volleyball team may not be able to succeed, the two projects still have a big difference in play, in addition, there has never been a coaching of the women's volleyball team, Shen Qiong does not necessarily know the current situation of the domestic women's volleyball team very well, Not to mention the development of the international women's volleyball scene.
In addition, Shen Qiong's success is to coach the Shanghai men's volleyball team instead of the Chinese men's volleyball team, the Shanghai men's volleyball team has a very obvious advantage in the league, every season they have introduced high-level foreign aid, so the challenges they encounter in the league are not big, and the league's "six consecutive championships" cannot explain too many problems. Although Shen Qiong has the experience of assistant coach of the Chinese men's volleyball team, he led the team to participate in the competition as the head coach, and the results were poor, in the 2018 Asian Games, Shen Qiong led the Chinese men's volleyball team to participate in the Asian Games as the head coach, and the team lost to a number of Asian second- and third-rate teams in a row, failing to achieve the pre-match set goals.
Of course, this is not to say that Shen Qiong can not serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, in fact, most of the head coaches of the Chinese women's volleyball team are from the male volleyball players, and the head coaches of many women's volleyball teams in the current league are also "turned" after the retirement of the male volleyball players. There are also many coaches in the world volleyball world who have coached both the women's volleyball team and the men's volleyball team, and have also achieved great success, the current head coach of the Brazilian women's volleyball team, Guimarães, is very familiar to everyone, he has been in the Brazilian women's volleyball team for 18 years, leading the Brazilian women's volleyball team to win the Olympic championship twice, and he led the Brazilian men's volleyball team to win the Olympic gold medal as the head coach as the head coach at the Barcelona Olympic Games as early as 1992. Guimarães is also the only coach who has led both the men's volleyball team to the Olympic championship and the women's volleyball team to the Olympic championship.
The former McCarthy, the former head coach of the American women's volleyball team, also had the opportunity to win this honor, in 2008 McCarthyn led the U.S. men's volleyball team to win the Olympic championship, after which he succeeded Lang Ping as the head coach of the U.S. women's volleyball team, the London Olympic games cycle, the most comprehensive strength of the U.S. women's volleyball team has lost gold medals in the World Cup and the Olympic Games, McCarthyn failed to create history, but led the men's volleyball team to win the Olympic championship, led the women's volleyball team to the Olympic runner-up, McCarthyn is also very successful.
From the current situation, the position of head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team is still the most suitable for Lang Ping, after all, she knows the current situation of the national team the most, and the ability of this group of players is also the most understood, in the case of only three years left in the Paris Olympic Games, Lang Ping continues to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team is the most appropriate. But at present, Lang Ping seems to have decided, if Lang Ping no longer coaches the Chinese women's volleyball team, the current so-called "candidates" are also half a pound, and no one is particularly capable, in this context, the Chinese women's volleyball team head coach position to Shen Qiong is not impossible, from the perspective of Shen Qiong's coaching ability, he has the conditions to lead the national brand, it depends on whether the leaders of the volleyball center dare to "bet" on Shen Qiong, maybe Shen Qiong will also be the Chinese version of "Guimarães".
