Liu Guoliang raised the positions of the two to a higher level, and also prepared for the retirement of the next four veterans of the national table tennis!
Liu Guoliang and the coaching staff made a major decision, that is, to recall Liu Shiwen and Ma Long to the national table tennis team, and the two returned to Wenzhou for closed training, but their task is not to prepare for the next World Table Tennis Championships, because both players are not on the qualification list of the competition, so what are they doing back? It is understood that the return of the two is a new position and responsibility, that is, as an assistant coach, Liu Shiwen and Ma Long are also fully qualified, they have the strength and ability to serve as coaches, after all, in the past competition, two players have won the world championship, more than 20, not to mention that Ma Long has won two Grand Slams in the past, and Liu Shiwen has won the World Table Tennis Championships, and the two people have the ability to impact the leading coach of the next game victory. So Liu Guoliang asked Ma Long and Liu Shiwen to serve as coaches for the players who are going to participate in the competition and give them more help, which is really wise.
In the past, Liu Shiwen, as Chen Meng's sister, was very familiar with Chen Meng's playing style, since Liu Shiwen did not choose to participate, then she could guide Chen Meng, and Liu Shiwen was very familiar with Chen Meng's tactical playing style and Chen Meng's weaknesses and advantages, otherwise she would not have hit Chen Meng 11-0 in the past, once Liu Shiwen went to guide Chen Meng, it is conceivable that Chen Meng's strength will definitely go to a higher level. For Ma Long, he can coach other main players including Fan Zhendong, including the national table tennis, and he can give good advice to help them win the championship. It can be said that although Malone is 32 years old, he can still stay in the table tennis world, on the one hand, he can play games, on the other hand, he can also guide his teammates to help his teammates win the championship.
In fact, such a choice can not only allow the four veterans to continue to stay in the national table tennis after retirement, but also let their abilities fully display and cultivate better national table tennis players, the four veterans also include comedian Xu Xin, Tibetan mastiff Zhang Jike, no Ding Ning, mainly she chose to retire directly, did not stay in the national table tennis.
