For a team to flourish forever, the construction of talent echelons is crucial. National table tennis can maintain the dominant position of the world table tennis for a long time, stemming from the emergence of generations of talents.
At that time, the world table tennis hegemon Swedish team, due to the talent gap, after the retirement of Waldner and Perlson, Swedish table tennis was silent for more than ten years.
In the past 30 years of national table tennis, first Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, then Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, followed by Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Xu Xin, according to the reason, the next should be Fang Bo, Zhou Yu, Yan An, then Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, and then Wang Chuqin.
However, after Zhang Maxu, a fault occurred in the Mesozoic Era, and Fang Bo, Zhou Yu, and Yan An fell collectively, and could only be connected by Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, and others.
Fang Bo is 28 years old, Zhou Yu is 28 years old, yan An is 27 years old, these three people are the year of the fight, the development momentum is good, but unfortunately they have regressed.
Fang Bo is a prodigy who won the men's singles, men's doubles, men's team and mixed doubles titles at the 2009 World Youth Championships, becoming the first four champions of the World Youth Championships.
He won the men's singles title at the 2013 Austrian Open.
Fang Bo's brightest moment was the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, winning consecutive victories against Xu Xin and Zhang Jike to reach the final, and losing 2-4 to Ma Long to win the second place.
Fang Bo won the trust of the coaching staff and won the men's team championship of the 2015 Team World Cup and the 2016 Team World Table Tennis Championships.
Fang Bo stood on a high starting point, but unfortunately the state fell sharply, the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships only participated in the mixed doubles, but also with the German Solja formed a transnational mixed doubles, belongs to the embarrassing role. By the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, it will become the "biggest sparring partner".
Fang Bo deteriorated, becoming a qualifier and losing to a variety of players in the qualifiers.
For example, the German Open lost 1-4 to Italy's 32-year-old veteran Stoyanov, and the Qatar Open lost 3-4 to Sweden's 18-year-old Moregard, trapped in the qualifiers.
Zhou Yu won the men's singles championship at the 2012 National Championships, which is a very high starting point. Most of the champions of the national championships have become the materials of the pillars, such as Ma Wenge, Kong Linghui, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and others, but Zhou Yu did not take off at this high starting point, but fell sharply.
Zhou Yu did not make a breakthrough in singles, and could only partner with Fan Zhendong in men's doubles, and under the leadership of Fan Zhendong, won the men's doubles championship of the National Championships, the National Games, the Asian Games, the Asian Championships, and the Military Games.
Yan An is also a prodigy, when he first debuted, he had a strong momentum, often defeating Wang Hao, Ma Long, Ma Lin and others in the table tennis super, and was known as the "giant killer".
Yan An's forehand and backhand are balanced, the conversion speed is very fast, and the near-taiwan fast attack plus arc playing style is the most similar to the horizontal board player of the straight board play.
He competed in the men's singles world table tennis championships in 2013 and won the 2013 Swedish Open and the 2017 Hungarian Open men's singles championship.
On talent, Fang Bo, Zhou Yu, and Yan An are not only not worse than others, they may be even better, why has none of them become the core main force?
