For Yuan Xinyue, the new captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, she has become a bridge of communication between the head coach and the players. On the occasion of the new Chinese women's volleyball team competing in the World Series, Yuan Xinyue also appeared as the captain for the first time. This identity is both a pressure and a responsibility, and Yuan Xinyue hopes that she can lay down her burdens, meet the challenge, and live up to the trust of the team in her.
"Chinese women's volleyball captain", these six words for any national player, is a great honor and recognition, but also means a heavy responsibility. Now, this burden has fallen on Yuan Xinyue's shoulders, and while she feels the pressure, she also adds the motivation to make herself more powerful.

I think it is a responsibility and an honor for me! As a captain, I think the main thing is to do what I should do, and then I hope to continue my own style. Hopefully, I can turn pressure into motivation, and then the coach will also decompress me, and then he will encourage me and make me bold. In fact, I think it's okay to do a good job of doing ourselves and being on the field with everyone and we're united with each other.
Since entering the national team in 2013, Yuan Xinyue has experienced the glory of the Rio Olympic Games and also felt the loneliness of the Tokyo Olympic Games. She is only 25 years old when she became famous at a young age, at the golden age of a professional player. Enough rich game experience, easy-going personality off the field, and surging passion on the field, all of which make Yuan Xinyue the best candidate for the current Chinese women's volleyball team.

I think the captain is an identity, and then usually as an athlete, and then I still hope that the identity of the captain can make me more demanding of myself, usually as an ordinary athlete and get along with everyone, and communicate with the coach.
Since 2013, Yuan Xinyue has entered the line of sight of Lang Ping's guidance. That year, Lang Dao coached the national team for the second time, and the 16-year-old Yuan Xinyue was promoted because of his height advantage. Subsequently, from the national team to the Evergrande women's volleyball team, the world famous coach poured countless efforts into Yuan Xinyue to help her mature step by step. At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Yuan Xinyue followed the Chinese women's volleyball team to the championship podium, and this experience has become the most unforgettable memory of Yuan Xinyue's career so far. After the dissolution of the Bayi women's volleyball team, Yuan Xinyue's career once came to a crossroads, but fortunately, the Tianjin Bohai Bank women's volleyball team extended an olive branch to her. At last year's Shaanxi National Games and last season's Super League, Yuan Xinyue joined Tianjin and studied under the guidance of Wang Baoquan. In the two top domestic competitions, Yuan Xinyue won the championship with the Tianjin team, which not only greatly improved her confidence, but also laid the foundation for her position as the first secondary attack in the domestic women's volleyball arena. Nowadays, Yuan Xinyue has the opportunity to get the guidance of another famous coach, Cai Bin, such an opportunity and experience, for any women's volleyball player, it is really encounterable and unattainable.

I think Cai Dao is a coach who gives a lot of space to the players on the pitch, usually when training, he will also see the problems and say them in time, and then each coach has his own set of technical and tactical concepts, and we also hope to use his ideas with our actual actions.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, as many veterans faded out, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning were in the recuperation stage, yuan Xinyue became one of the only three Olympic champions in the team, and the only team member to participate in the 2015 World Championships. From the perspective of seniority, Yuan Xinyue belongs to the absolute veteran, but the age difference between her and many newcomers in the training list is actually not large, and this is also conducive to better communication between her and her teammates. How to let everyone put themselves in the right position and treat victory and defeat soberly and rationally is the task given to him by Yuan Xinyue.

Our words this session are about the same age, although a few of us on the field are said to be veteran players, but I think there is still a gap with the international community. I want us to be confident in our skills and tactics on the pitch, but we still have to be clear about where our own problems lie. I hope that we can pass the test of the competition, can really hold together, and can continue to improve.
