The Chinese table tennis team has finished training in Macau, and their quarantine in Guangzhou has also entered the countdown, and in the future they will usher in a 15-day holiday before the second phase of training in Hainan. It is reported that Liu Guozheng, the gold medal coach of national table tennis and the leader of the men's table tennis coaching team, is about to return to participate in the second phase of training. During the closed training in Macao, Liu Guozheng was trapped in Wuhan because he returned to his hometown in Wuhan to visit his relatives and filial piety years ago, so he did not participate in the national table tennis training in Macau.
Liu Guozheng's absence has also affected the quality of training of the player wang Chuqin in charge of him. Wang Chuqin is the leader of the young generation of Chinese men's table tennis, although he is currently unable to compete for a seat at the Tokyo Olympic Games, but in the next Olympic cycle, he is likely to become one of the main players of the national table tennis men's team, and even he is considered to be Fan Zhendong's successor. Liu Guozheng was assigned as his head coach and definitely shouldered the heavy responsibility of national table tennis. During the Macao training camp, Liu Guozheng was not there, and Qin Zhijian would point out Wang Chuqin from time to time, but it was obviously not as good as the one-on-one guidance effect of the coach in charge.
Liu Guozheng, the gold medal coach of national table tennis, is about to return, and he is the former national table tennis "anti-Korean hero". Liu Guozheng was born in March 1980 in Wuhan, Hubei Province. His characteristics are tenacious and dare to fight, and he can often play at a super level in the competition, and reversion is a good play for him. Liu Guozheng, who practiced football since childhood, entered the national team at the age of 15 and became famous at a young age. In the national team, he won the team championship of the World Table Tennis Championships, the gold medal of the Asian Games and other honors. Liu Guozheng's brightest moment when he played was when he played at the 46th World Table Tennis Championships against the South Korean team, he pulled the national table tennis back from the brink of an embarrassing defeat by 7 match points, and since then he has been praised by fans as an "anti-Korean hero".
In the semi-finals of the men's team at the 46th Osaka World Table Tennis Championships in 2001, the Chinese team met the old rival South Korea. In the competition, the national table tennis sent Liu Guozheng, Ma Lin and Grand Slam winner Kong Linghui three members of the tiger general. I thought it was a good bet but the game was surprising, and the number one player Kong Linghui actually lost to South Korea's Kim Taek-so and Oh Sang-so in succession, losing 2 points in a row, and the two sides drew 2-2. At this time, the 21-year-old Liu Guo was playing in the decider, facing olympic bronze medalist Kim Taek-so, he withstood a lot of pressure, calm and calm, and won the opponent by 7 match points in the set, setting the third point for the national table tennis to win. The national table tennis team then defeated Belgium in the final to regain the Svethling Cup. Liu Guozheng became famous in the First World War, and since then the Chinese sports world has had the famous phrase "marry Liu Guozheng when you marry someone".
When it comes to Liu Guozheng's reversal, in addition to the earth-shattering reversal of Kanazawa Su at the Osaka World Table Tennis Championships, there is also a swinging game that must be mentioned, that is, the duel between Liu Guozheng and the famous Pol at the 2005 Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships. The two sides drew in the first six sets, and Liu Guozheng fell behind 3-8 in the decider, but in the end his big heart was threatened again, and it was reversed 15-13, and the big score was 4-3 to block Ball in the top 8.
Unfortunately, the injury affected Liu Guozheng's career achievements, in 2005, he was injured in training, the operation was not ideal, this injury changed his career, and Liu Guozheng, who was plagued by injuries, had to announce his retirement at the age of 28. After that, he entered the champion class of Beijing Sport University, entered the ivory tower from the sports circle, and his further study in the university gave him a deeper understanding of table tennis, and also reserved knowledge and broadened his thinking for his future coaching career.
Liu Guozheng won the World Table Tennis Championships men's team championship twice in his career, but he failed to win a world championship in a singles competition, which became his biggest regret, making him particularly eager to make up for it in his apprentice. In 2012, Liu Guozheng entered the national table tennis as the coach of the second team. In 2017, he was promoted from the second team to the first team, served as the coach of the first team, and led the team to the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup. In 2018, Liu Guozheng led the men's table tennis team to win the men's team championship twice in the London World Cup and the Swedish World Table Tennis Championships. At present, Liu Guo is serving as the head of the coaching team of the first team of the national table tennis men's team.
During the special period when Liu Guoliang left the first-line team of national table tennis, Liu Guozheng was in danger and was pushed to the position of acting head coach of national table tennis, but this matter was not officially announced. During that time, the calm Liu Guozheng led the national table tennis to basically achieve a smooth transition. The national table tennis team championship of the 2018 World Cup, the team championship of the World Championships, the team championship of the Asian Games, and the champion of large and small events have all won, basically stabilizing the national table tennis team.
In terms of personal life, Liu Guozheng's wife is Lu Lu, a ping-pong beauty, and after marriage, the two also had two lovely daughters. Liu Guozheng's wife, Lu Lu, is a peer with him and is also a table tennis player. Lu Lu was once a player in the Beijing team, and he was teammate with famous players such as Zhang Yining and Guo Yan. At the 2009 National Games, she helped Beijing win the women's team championship. Lu Lu has a height of 1.70 meters, only 1 cm shorter than Liu Guozheng, 7 years younger than Liu Guozheng born in 80 years, and she is a high-value ping-pong beauty with outstanding temperament and dignified appearance.
Xiao Zhan, the national table tennis coach, is a matchmaker between Liu Guozheng and Lu Lu, and after a period of time together, Lu Lu felt that this man was reliable and considerate, so the two established a relationship before the Beijing Olympic Games, and eventually married. Now the two who have been married for many years have two lovely daughters, and they are also learning to play table tennis. Lu Lu became a full-time housewife and provided good logistics for Liu Guozheng, while Liu Guozheng continued to serve as a coach in national table tennis and cultivate talents for national table tennis.
