The new Chinese women's volleyball team is still in the stage of coach selection, but no matter who is elected as the head coach, it must face the two major competitions of the Asian Games and the World Championships, especially the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is the bottom line of the team. Previously, there was a partial overlap in time between the Asian Games and the World Championships, so many fans were worried about the situation of the AB team.
At the Incheon Asian Games in 14 years, the Chinese women's volleyball team had to send a second team led by Xu Jiande precisely because it encountered the World Championship, and finally lost to the South Korean women's volleyball team led by Jin Softjing in the final. As an Asian Games that fights at the doorstep, the goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team is very clear, that is, to win the championship, but if the second team lineup is used to play, I am afraid that it will repeat the previous mistakes.
However, the good news is that the official website of the Hangzhou Asian Games has announced and adjusted the time of some events of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and the women's volleyball competition is carried out in advance. According to the currently formulated time, the women's volleyball competition of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games will start on September 8, the semi-final will be held on September 15, the final will be held on September 16, and the opening ceremony of the Asian Games will be set for September 10, which means that the women's volleyball group stage will start before the opening ceremony.
The preliminary time of the Women's Volleyball World Championship is from September 23 to October 15, so even if the Chinese women's volleyball team finishes the final of the Asian Games, there is a one-week adjustment time and a time to rush to Europe to compete. Although the Asian Games women's volleyball competition is carried out in advance and will not collide with the Time of the World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team will still face the problem of how to distribute physical fitness. After all, the 1-week break is not long, and it is not short.
In addition, the Chinese women's volleyball team from the end of May to the beginning of July, need to compete in the World Women's Volleyball League overseas, if it enters the final of the World League, the days of the women's volleyball team will be extended by at least 2 weeks. The Asian Games will start early in September, and at the end of September, there will be a women's volleyball world championship, and it has to be said that the time is tight and the task is heavy. For both the team and the players, there are new tests in terms of physical fitness.
The author believes that although the Asian Games and the World Championships no longer overlap in time, the team should still take care of the physical fitness of the players and distribute the players reasonably. The Asian Games group stage is not too intense, this time is actually a good time for the main team to rest, but also a good time to train the substitutes and scout the team, as long as in the game against South Korea, Japan and Thailand, we can send the main force. I hope that the new Chinese women's volleyball team will not have a scene of "a set of lineups to fight to the end".
