Guo Yu has always been a victory in the Chinese sports world, but this time the Tang You Cup did not win the championship. The men's team stopped in the top 8, setting a record for the worst in team history. The women's team failed to defend the Uber Cup, allowing South Korea to win the Uber Cup again in 12 years. In addition, in the same game, the Thomas Cup stopped in the top 8, and the Uber Cup only finished second, which is the worst record in the history of the Toyo Cup. Chen Yu is also what everyone wants to see after class, and the performance of men's singles is indeed disappointing. Lin Dan retired, Chen Long is old, and the younger generation has not appeared as a new star.
Badminton has always been the strength of the Chinese team, although its advantages are not as obvious as table tennis and diving, but it is very common to reach the final! But this time, the national badminton men's team missed the top four, which was also unexpected. In addition, although the national badminton women's team won the runner-up in the competition, at first glance, the result is OK, but this is not the case. Prior to this, South Korea had not won the Uber Cup in 12 years, while China was the winner of the last Uber Cup. Overall, the national badminton men's and women's teams performed poorly.
After missing the TangYou Cup title, Zhang Jun's coaching experience and leadership skills were once again questioned. Some fans joked that in recent years, Zhang Jun's figure has been completely deformed, from an energetic teenager to an obese and greasy middle-aged uncle, and perhaps the food of the national team is too good. Some people think that Zhang Jun can't even manage his body very well, how can people believe that he can manage the national team well? Since the resignation of meritorious coach Li Yongbo from his coaching position, Zhang Jun has become the core of the national team's coaching staff.
It is very sad that the national feather, who won 5 gold medals at the London Olympics, is caught up in this field. For a time skepticism was rampant. If the women's team accidentally loses the championship, then the sinking of the men's team is the decisive fact. After Shi Yuqi was quietly banned, the men's singles had no leader, and after Li Junhui retired, the men's doubles also fell into a trough, and now the men's team has become the world's second and third class, and no one knows when it will return to the peak.
