On April 10, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team announced a new training roster, in which the changes of players and head coaches have attracted great attention, Zhao Yong, who led the Liaoning women's volleyball team to play a wonderful performance this season, became Cai Bin's replacement, and the list has also changed significantly, and the collective list of players is as follows:
Beijing: Zou Jiaqi, Shan Linqian, Dong Yuhan
Tianjin: Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan
Shanghai: Chen Houyu, Wang Aoqian, Yang Shuming
Jiang Su: Gong Xiangyu, Ni Feifei, Wu Mengjie, Tang Xin,
Wan Ziyue, Fan Boning, Zhang Zixuan
Fujian: Zhuang Yushan, Zheng Xinyi, Yin Xiaolan
Shandong: Wang Mengjie
Through this list, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Yong's main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team will not change much. The main attack should be the partner of Li Yingying and Wu Mengjie, and the secondary attack Wang Yuanyuan is still the main force, and after Yuan Xinyue returns, the two will continue to work together. The receiving position is still Gong Xiangyu, the second setter Diao Linyu and the free hot Wu Mengjie.
Among them, what attracts attention is the defeat of the three world champions Zhu Ting, Yao Di and Ding Xia. All three had phenomenal performances last season. Zhu Ting has just reached the final of the Serie A league with Conegliano, and she has scored 17 points and the second highest score in the game, and Ding Xia is Zhao Yong's old subordinate, the core player of the Liaoning women's volleyball team who reached the top four last season, Yao Di's performance last season was also very eye-catching, Tianjin women's volleyball team has Yao Di is completely two teams, but these three people are not available, it is really surprising, and I also saw Zhao Yong's determination to reform.
However, Yao Di and Ding Xia may not be in the same situation as Zhu Ting. Yao Di and Ding Xia currently do not have club competition tasks, it is estimated that the old and new have completely faded out, and Zhu Ting, like Yuan Xinyue, has not yet ended the European league, so there is still the possibility of being selected in the future. It is worth mentioning that as the head coach of the Liaoning team, and one of the top four of the Liaoning team last season, there was not one person selected, becoming the only team in the top four without national team players, which is indeed a bit surprising.
Zhao Yong's coaching style is somewhat similar to Cai Bin, both of which are based on fast and flexible second and third position tactics, but they are also a little different, on the one hand, Zhao Yong has higher requirements for the offense of receiving and secondary offense, last season's scoring champion of Liaoning was Martinez of the secondary offense, and the reason why Liaoning went all the way from the relegation group to the championship group was mainly because of a foreign aid in the offseason.
The second difference is that Zhao Yong's substitutions will be frequent. During Cai Bin's coaching period, a big problem was that there were relatively few substitutions, and Zhao Yong's substitution frequency was very large. So we see that in this squad, there are many young players selected, and there are also many players who have performed well this season, but have never entered the national team before, especially the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, which has a very large number of selections. This year, the Chinese women's volleyball team will compete in the World Women's Volleyball League and the Women's Volleyball World Championships.
