He participated in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games as the main secondary of the Chinese men's volleyball team, and after retiring in 1990, Yu Juemin began his coaching career in Zhejiang, and in September 2010, Yu Juemin officially became the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. By about 11:00 p.m. on September 17, 2012, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which lost 1-3 to Thailand in the final of the Women's Volleyball Asian Cup, returned to Beijing, and thus ended all its competition tasks in the 2012 and London Olympic Games cycle. Yu Juemin stepped down from his responsibility and ended his two-year career as a national team coach.
Yu Juemin is definitely a tragic figure in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, when the Chinese women's volleyball team needs heroes to stand up and turn the tide, Yu Juemin was pushed to the forefront in the case of insufficient coaching strength, and finally the poor results became a thousand fingers. Yu Juemin said: "On the first day I took office, I thought about the day I left class. ”
The first world competition led by Yu Juemin was the World Championships in October 2010, and the Chinese women's volleyball team only won the 10th place. After the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix Finals, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost four battles and fell to the lowest trough, and the opponent even said that "Yu Jiajun" has been reduced to a "third-rate team". Immediately after the finals is the Asian Championship, the top two asian teams except japan can enter the World Cup, and only when they enter the World Cup can they qualify for the Olympic Games. "I often think that if the Asian Championships finish 4th after Japan, Korea and Thailand, I can't even play the World Cup. The Chinese women's volleyball team can't enter the Olympic Games, then I am really a historical sinner! Lao Yu used four words to describe his state at that time: "It is better to live than to die." It was not until he reached the final of the Asian Championship that Lao Yu was relieved.
Leading the team into London, Yu Juemin exceeded the task. However, after losing to Japan in the quarterfinals of the London Olympic Games and losing to Thailand in the final of the Asian Cup, Yu Juemin was saddled with a lot of insults. "Everyone has a deep affection for the Chinese women's volleyball team, and everyone believes that when the Chinese team participates in the competition, it must win the championship, and if it does not win the championship, it will be a failure." Old Yu sighed, "All the games must be won." Can't lose and want to train new people, so quick to make a profit, I think I don't have the ability to do it. ”
Yu Juemin knows his own ability, when the head coach position of the Chinese women's volleyball team has become a hot potato, he dares to stand up, in fact, it has been admired, however, it is indeed "the heart to kill the enemy, powerless to return to heaven", Yu Juemin is destined not to be the true destiny of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
After the London Olympic cycle, Yu Juemin predicted that if the basic problems cannot be solved, it will be difficult to say when the Chinese women's volleyball team will return to the ranks of the world's strongest teams. Perhaps, Yu Juemin could not imagine that the gap between him and Lang Ping is to turn decay into a magical gap, after Lang Ping led the team, the Chinese women's volleyball team stepped up step by step, and it took only 2 years to return to the ranks of the world's strongest teams, and even return to the top of the world.
Yu Juemin is a good person, he is born with a good temperament, a solid job, a gentle attitude, and has a fairly good popularity in the volleyball world and the journalist circle. The work style is pragmatic, calm and rich. In the industry, Yu Juemin's professional ability, professionalism and life in the world are generally recognized. But he is also a tragic figure of the Chinese women's volleyball team and has become a hurried passer-by in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
