Guoyu recently announced the return of Li Mao, hiring Korean coaches Jiang Jingzhen and Liu Yongcheng to join the national team coaching team, badminton star Han Jian said in an interview with Malaysian media that when the Chinese team invites foreign coaches, the Chinese team can return to the peak.
Born in Liaoning, 63,Han Jian was selected for the Liaoning Provincial Badminton Team in 1972 and the National Team in 1977, where he helped the national team win the Thomas Cup and personally won the World Championships and world cup men's singles titles.
Han Jian decided to retire in 1983 at the age of 30 and then transform into a coach, and in 1992 he, together with Yang Yang and Chan Chang-kit, led Malaysia to win the Thomas Cup in Kuala Lumpur.
After leaving the Malaysian national team, Han Jian is currently the head coach of the Malaysian Badminton Training Center, dedicated to cultivating and training a new generation of badminton players.
Malaysian media coverage
Han Jian said: "Although badminton was invented by the British, it was later monopolized by Southeast Asian countries, namely Indonesia and Malaysia and later Thailand. As for the women's team, there are Japan and the United States, a phenomenon that can be seen in the historical results of the Thomas Cup and Uber Cups. ”
"In the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Indonesian overseas Chinese returned to China to bring vitality to Chinese badminton. Like Tang Xianhu, Hou Jiachang, Chen Yuniang, Liang Qiuxia and many other famous Chinese players. Wang Wenjiao, Chen Fushou and many other famous coaches are from Indonesia, and a small number are from Malaysia. ”
Han Jian believes: "This may be the Southeast Asian climate is more suitable for the popularity of badminton, often heard the predecessors who returned from Indonesia said that when they were young, they played at night, hung up gas lights, there was no wind, and the temperature was appropriate." I don't know if this is the case in Malaysia. ”
Han Jian pointed out: "China's sports system and model are from the former Soviet Union and are part of the state system. It was very specialized, and the former Soviet Union and East Germany used this system to dominate the world sports world. Therefore, the combination of badminton technology and this professional system brought back by overseas Chinese in Indonesia has caused China to become a world badminton power.
At that time, other countries were still in an amateur or semi-professional state, so it made China a long-term king. Long-term leadership will make the ability to innovate in technology worse. Because of the victory, many problems were covered up, and everything felt was done correctly.
"One thing they forget is that their lead comes from the strong support of the system and the state, while the foreign players are just the opposite. They are not professional, playing while studying or working, and they have less training time. Therefore, they pay more attention to the quality and rationality of training and the technical and tactical changes in the game, only in this way can they have the opportunity to compete with professional players. ”
South Korean coach Park Joo-bong led the Japanese team to the top
Han Jian said: "In addition, in the past few decades of globalization, many Chinese, Indonesian, and Korean coaches have moved around the world and exchanged. Badminton is becoming more and more popular as Malaysia has China, Denmark and Indonesia. Japan has Chinese, Korean, Indonesian and Malaysian coaches. South Korea has Chinese-Indonesian coaches, Denmark and Indonesia have Chinese coaches, and India has Chinese Malaysian and Indonesian coaches. Thailand and Singapore have foreign coaches, but the Chinese national team does not. ”
For this point, Han Jian believes: "The strength of the system does not represent the advancement of technology and training methods. After badminton entered the Olympic Games in 1992, the situation began to change. Countries have corresponding financial support, sponsor advertising support and competition prize money increases. There are more and more professional badminton players. China has fewer and fewer advantages in this regard. So it's not China that's regressing, but other countries that are making progress. ”
Han Jian recalled that when he was training for the national team, he had said some technical problems with the coach of the women's team, which Han Jian thought was not reasonable. The coach's answer was "I've practiced like this and won."" At that time, Han Jian replied that it was because the opponent was too weak to see the problem.
The point is that Han Jian pointed out: "Your current leading position is not that you run fast but that you run first, if one day everyone is on the same starting line, the same conditions can see who is good and who is bad, of course, they can't listen." Because 7 of the top 8 women's singles in the UK that year were from China. They also proudly say it's like a national competition in China. ”
Another point proposed by Han Jian is: "For example, China's physical fitness requirements for material selection are relatively single, rather than diversified. Fortunately, the 2 Japanese world's top women's singles players, only 1 meter 55 players were not born in China. In fact, I am not at all surprised by the changes in Chinese coaches. ”
Han Jian also "revealed": "I remember that when ZongHan (Huang Zonghan, the current head coach of Da Ma Yu) went to chat in front of Yu Zong last year, I said that if the Chinese team invited foreign coaches, that is to say that China could regain its strength. Huang Zonghan was surprised to say that the Chinese side had contacted him to go to China as a coach. ”
On this point, Han Jian felt: "This shows that the Chinese team has recognized the problem. In search of change. This change is positive and makes people happy. ”
Speaking of Li Mao, Han Jian pointed out: "Li Yu has been coaching in Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia, and his arrival must bring new opportunities to traditional Chinese training methods. Whether Li Mao and the South Korean coach can help the Chinese team achieve good results in the Olympic Games. But this historic change, coupled with the original system, will make China a badminton power again. ”
