Recently, the national table tennis training ushered in the return of two veterans, on November 1, Liu Shiwen and Ma Long returned to the national table tennis team, and willing to become sparring partners for young players, which made fans feel the spirit of selfless dedication of the national table tennis veterans. In the upcoming World Table Tennis Championships in mid-to-late November, the men's singles are Fan Zhendong, and the women's table tennis is Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.
Sun Yingsha is the only player among these players who lacks a competent coach, so some fans have called on the national table tennis to re-invite Kong Linghui back to the coaching team, but at present, Kong Linghui's commercial development has become the biggest obstacle. Kong Linghui was the head coach of Chinese women's table tennis, during which time he helped the Chinese women's team win many championships and cultivated many outstanding players such as Guo Yue and Liu Shiwen.
Therefore, when the women's table tennis coaching staff lacked excellent coaches, many fans thought of Kong Linghui, the coach, and hoped that the national table tennis could invite him out of the mountain again. Kong Linghui won a Grand Slam title as a player, and he also has a lot of experience in cultivating young players, so fans have always hoped that Kong Linghui can come back to become Sun Yingsha's head coach. At present, the only coaches who can become excellent players in women's table tennis are Marlene and Xiao Zhan, but relying on only the two of them, there is no way to undertake the cultivation of the entire women's table tennis.
Although Li Falcon has trained wang nan and Zhang Yining, two big devils, the head coach has now reached the age of retirement, and Li Falcon has undergone an operation not long ago, making it difficult to continue to bring greater progress to Chinese women's table tennis. So fans and the media all hope that Kong Linghui can return. But at present, Kong Linghui is unlikely to return to coaching, first, because his departure after being suspended in 2017 has made him very disappointed in national table tennis.
The second is because his business is now booming, and every day is busy, it is impossible to give up more than a dozen of his own companies to engage in coaching work. Therefore, Kong Linghui, who is now 46 years old, is likely to be unable to return to the coaching team of national table tennis, and Sun Yingsha will also be handed over to Ma Lin after Liu Shiwen's retirement. In short, I still hope that the national table tennis can achieve good results in the next World Table Tennis Championships.
