Although the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics has given Lang Ping another year in office, the matter of her successor has long been on the agenda. As early as 17 years, the Chinese Volleyball Association began to look around for suitable candidates, but after a round of inspections, it still failed to decide on the successor. At present, there is only more than a year left, and who will become the next manager of the Chinese women's volleyball team has become a top priority for the team.
According to the current coaching echelon, the most likely coach to be selected should be An Jiajie. Since An Jiajie became the assistant coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team in 13 years, he has been learning from Lang Ping. For 17 years, he also served as the team's executive coach. In addition, when sending a substitute team to play, An Jiajie will always lead the team to participate, so various circumstances show that An Jiajie should be the best candidate. However, An Jiajie's problems at this stage are also very serious, the most important problem is that his coaching results are not ideal, whether in international competitions or on the domestic stage, he has not achieved good results, and it is difficult to convince the public by virtue of this.
Therefore, the author believes that in the next cycle, An Jiajie should still continue to stay in the Chinese women's volleyball team as an assistant coach, so who will be the coach? Maybe the "good old man" Yu Juemin will come out of the mountain again. In the next cycle of the Chinese women's volleyball team, although there will be some veteran players retiring, the overall winning framework will not change, plus Ding Xia has made it clear that she wants to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games, so in the "Seven Fairies" lineup, Yan Ni will retire. In this way, this lineup can be said to be able to win the championship without a coach.
In the face of this lineup, ambitious and thoughtful people will actively strive for the position of manager and fill in the heavy strokes of their life resume. It is very likely that the Chinese Volleyball Association will, in order to appease the emotions of all parties under such circumstances, invite Yu Juemin, who is known as an "old good man", to serve as the manager. Yu Juemin's good temper can be said to be well known, and his work attitude is also very sincere, coupled with the imminent retirement, his desire is also low, and he only wants to lead the team well and complete 12 years of self-redemption.
Many fans may say that Yu Juemin's on-the-spot command is not enough for the position of national team manager. Indeed, from the perspective of the command of the 12th London Olympic Games, Yu Juemin does have great problems, but as mentioned above, the next cycle of the Chinese women's volleyball team is already very mature, and the role of the manager will be weakened, so only need to send a respected head coach. Yu Juemin was able to take over the burden of the women's volleyball coach in 10 years, which shows how deeply he loves the team. And in the 11-year World Cup, Yu Juemin also won the third place, and it is reasonable to complete in the results.
The failure of London in 12 years was not the fault of Yu Juemin alone, but the result of several changes in coaching of the Chinese Volleyball Association. Although Yu Juemin had problems with on-the-spot command, his training ability was highly affirmed. In the domestic league, he is the only coach who leads the team to win the men's and women's volleyball league double. Therefore, after Lang Ping retired, Yu Juemin was the most suitable team manager. I don't know, what do you think?
