At present, the national table tennis is undergoing closed training at the Wenzhou Olympic Sports Center, preparing for next month's Houston World Table Tennis Championships, as the first major international event in the Paris Olympic cycle, Liu Guoliang is also quite important. This training almost included all the masters of the domestic table tennis world, and as many as 32 players from men's and women's teams were trained. At the same time, it can also be seen that Liu Guoliang is selecting talents for the Paris Olympic cycle. After the national table tennis officially announced the big list of participating in the World Table Tennis Championships a few days ago, it also caused heated discussion among fans, because in this big list, the three major Tokyo Olympic main players Ma Long Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen were missing. In fact, it is not surprising that Liu Shiwen failed to be elected, and now Liu Shiwen has passed the peak period, and Liu Shiwen has lagged behind compared with Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Sun Yingsha. Coupled with this National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, Chen Xingtong Wang Yidi's performance is quite impactful. Therefore, it is understandable that Liu Shiwen's final defeat is still understandable.
But for the defeat of Ma Long and Xu Xin, it is indeed a bit unexpected, especially Ma Long's defeat, which can be said to make people never expect it, because after the Olympic Games, whether it is the National Games or the Table Tennis Super League. Ma Long did not show the slightest sign of a decline in competitive status, and the situation faced by the national table tennis men's team and the women's team was different, and the national table tennis women's team lacked Liu Shiwen, and the impact on the record was almost negligible. However, the situation of the national table tennis men's team is not optimistic, and it can be said that it is a bit green and yellow. Among the young players, in addition to Fan Zhendong's unique gear, the rest of the young players, like Lin Gaoyuan Wang Chuqin Zhou Qihao, including Liang Jingkun, do not have the ability to stand alone at present. Therefore, Let Fan Zhendong alone take four teammates whose strength is not outstanding to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships. Putting all the burden on Fan Zhendong's shoulders seems a bit risky. This also makes some fans deeply worried about the national table tennis trip to the World Table Tennis Championships, especially for the national table tennis men's team.
Of course, some fans wonder why Malone did not participate this time. This is believed to be Liu Guoliang's deliberate arrangement, and from the perspective of the national table tennis men's team's lineup, there is indeed a suspicion of deliberate arrangement. The ability of some of these players is indeed not up to qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships, such as Lin Gaoyuan, whether it is the National Games or the Table Tennis Super League, his performance is somewhat strained. He didn't even make it to the men's singles round of 16 at the National Games, but in the end he was selected. Therefore, Liu Guoliang also suffered some doubts during this time, believing that he was deliberately promoting young players to the position. But fortunately, recently this matter is finally the truth, Ma Long finally officially responded publicly on social platforms why he lost the World Table Tennis Championships? In the dynamics, Malone said that after the tokyo Olympic Games, he participated in the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League. This is a great test of physical fitness for a 33-year-old veteran.
Therefore, after repeated consideration, he took the initiative to withdraw from the national table tennis coaching team, and Liu Guoliang agreed to Ma Long's withdrawal application after consideration. So this time we blamed Liu Guoliang, and Ma Long's withdrawal was completely his own application. Indeed, for a 33-year-old veteran, this continuous high-intensity combat is a great test of physical fitness and psychology, so Malone's withdrawal is also normal. And the World Table Tennis Championships for Ma Long has little significance, to know that Ma Long has won three consecutive world table tennis championships, so this event for him has little attraction, so it is better to use this time to rest and adjust the state, ready to devote themselves to the next cycle of preparing for the Paris Olympics. So Malone finally chose not to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, which I think is a wise move. As for why Liu Guoliang risked losing the World Table Tennis Championships to agree to Ma Long's application, I think it is also a move to push the boat. In the long run, it is indeed time for young players to be put in positions.
The national table tennis men's team cannot rely on only two veterans Xu Xin and Ma Long. If they occupy the main position of national table tennis for a long time, it will have no impact in the short term. But in the long run, it is absolutely unfavorable, and young players are slow to get into the position. Will cause a talent gap in the national table tennis men's team, so Liu Guoliang will decisively agree to Malone's withdrawal, I have to say that Liu Guoliang is really well-intentioned, broke his heart for the national table tennis exercise, and tried to have more opportunities to play more games before the arrival of the Paris Olympic Games. Give it to the young players and let them grow as quickly as possible. Only young players grow up with the ability to stand alone is the way for the development of national table tennis, and it is expected that national table tennis will achieve good results in the World Table Tennis Championships, let us wait and see.
Okay, that's all we'll talk about in this issue. If you like, remember to forward likes, thank you bye-bye.
