After the end of the World Women's Volleyball League (VNL) Macau station, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin, was suddenly wrapped in a raging storm of public opinion.

After all, after the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Japan and Italy one after another, the fans' calls for Cai Bin to leave class have been rising one after another.

After the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Japanese team, the Olympic prospects are worrying

Some radical fans even reported Cai Bin to the General Administration of Sports in the message area of the official website, suggesting an investigation into his coaching!

What's even more exaggerated is that the General Administration of Sports really replied seriously to this kind of almost child's play!

There is no doubt that such a move has released an extremely obvious signal to the outside world, that is, the General Administration is really not satisfied with the current performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

Fans reported Cai Bin to the General Administration of Sports

If it's just the opinion of the fans, Cai Bin can naturally stick his neck and not watch or listen, but since the matter has been troubled by the General Bureau, the pressured Cai can only face the camera in an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel, and self-reflect, including admitting that the poor performance of the women's volleyball team is his responsibility, promising to increase Zhu Ting's playing time, and saying that he is very confident that he will lead the team to get a ticket to the Olympic Games......

If Director Cai can say such a thing, it can be regarded as a more or less euphemistic apology.

However, for the current Chinese women's volleyball team, is an apology really useful?

01 The Olympic ticket is still optimistic, but it needs to be desperate

After losing 1-3 to Japan in Macau, the world ranking points of the Chinese women's volleyball team have been surpassed by Japan, and the situation of entering Paris seems to have become "precarious".

But in fact, the situation is not irreparably bad.

The current world women's volleyball points

At present, in addition to the eight confirmed quota places of France, Serbia, Turkey, Poland, the United States, Brazil, Dominica and Kenya, there are four tickets left for the Olympic Games.

Eligible to compete for these four tickets are Italy, China, Japan, the Netherlands, Canada, Thailand and South Korea.

Considering the strength and points of Thailand and South Korea, the ticket can be said to have almost nothing to do with them; And Italy, whether it is strength or the current world ranking, a place is definitely in hand.

In other words, the Hong Kong leg of the tournament that starts in three days will be China, Japan, Canada and the Netherlands competing for the last three places.

Judging from the schedule -

China's opponents are Bulgaria, Germany, Turkey and Poland.

Japan's opponents are South Korea, Canada, Serbia and the United States.

Canada's opponents are Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and France.

The Netherlands' opponents are Serbia, the United States, Canada and South Korea.

Considering that there is still a game between Japan and Canada, Canada and the Netherlands - as long as the Chinese women's volleyball team wins 3 of these 4 games, it can 100% ensure the qualification for the Olympics; Getting 2 wins, although there is a certain danger, but the probability of qualifying is still not small; If there is only 1 win, then ...... There is no need to say more.

Cai Bin will face a huge challenge in the coming week

Among the four opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Turkey is leading in all aspects, Poland is almost equal in strength, and Bulgaria and Germany are weaker than us.

If the Chinese women's volleyball team can play its strength normally, win Bulgaria and Germany first, and then strive to beat Poland in the last game, it can still ensure the qualification for the Paris Olympics.

This is probably also the confidence of Cai Bin's guidance.

02 Among the short people, Cai Bin is the best choice

For Cai Bin, the fans' perceptions are indeed quite complicated.

Previously, Coach Cai replaced Chen Zhonghe, and took office in a hurry for the first time in 2009, and half a year later, because of two losses to Japan (coincidentally, the head coach of the Japanese women's volleyball team at that time was the same as now, it was Masayoshi Manabe), and then lost to Thailand in the Asian Championship final, and finally left the class.

And this time, Director Cai replaced Lang Ping, and as a result, it was a familiar taste, losing to Thailand and Japan again......

Many fans and friends may wonder, is there no good coach in China? Why did you choose Cai Bin?

In fact, that's really the case......

Looking at the domestic women's volleyball coaches, how many can be counted?

Wang Baoquan, although he led Tianjin to dominate the domestic league continuously, the lineup of the Tianjin team, which can be called one level higher than any other team, as well as the old technical and tactical system and old-school coaching style of Coach Wang, made the volleyball management center uncertain.

The Tianjin women's volleyball team led by Wang Baoquan has become a giant in the domestic league

After Cai Bin got out of class last time, it was Wang Baoquan who took over, but as a result, he resigned due to illness in less than three months, whether it was a real illness or a fake illness, he must have been on the blacklist for the selection of coaches, not to mention the faint undercurrent between the Jiangsu Department and the Tianjin Department in the women's volleyball team.

Hu Jin, everyone who understands understands, there is nothing to say.

An Jiajie, Shandong Department, in addition to being a teaching assistant under the guidance of Lang, has shallow qualifications, his solo performance is not eye-catching, his temper is soft, and he is worried that he will not be able to play.

Lai Yawen, Sister Lai is more than enough to be a team leader, and if you want to directly parachute into the national brand, I am afraid that you need to show some actual results first......

Lai Yawen and An Jiajie were both close deputies of Lang Ping

So you see, the women's volleyball coach is really difficult to choose, you have to have a level, you have to have qualifications, and you have to be able to control the players, Cai Bin is already the most reliable choice.

So after losing the qualifying round and missing the opportunity to go straight to Paris, the public opinion at that time questioned Cai Bin even more, but so what, after thinking about it, there was still no suitable candidate, so he could only let Director Cai continue to stay up and atone for his crimes.

03 The women's volleyball team has fallen behind the world in an all-round way

Take 10,000 steps back, Cai Bin is really out of class, so ...... And how?

Now in exchange for Lang Ping and Chen Zhonghe, the Chinese women's volleyball team can expect Olympic medals?

The answer is, no.

In recent years, the technical and tactical development of the world women's volleyball team, especially the European women's volleyball team, has been far ahead of other countries, represented by Turkey and Italy, with strong secondary attacks, violent responses, faster movement speeds, and more resolute back-row attacks - the vast majority of women's sports in the world, if they want to improve their level, it is inevitable that their skills and tactics will be on par with masculinity.

Zhu Ting now plays in the Italian Women's Volleyball League

And what is the performance of our women's volleyball team in this cycle?

almost all depends on the performance of the main attacker Li Yingying.

The rest, from the first pass, the second pass to the tandem, blocking to the serve, there are all kinds of problems, especially the loss to the Japanese team in Macau, almost all the problems were exposed.

It can be said that the real strength of today's women's volleyball team is at the level of 6-8 in the world.

So, is it because Director Cai Bin has not studied the world trend? Why didn't he learn from Turkey and Italy?

Because it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

It is said that Cai Bin has a fixed lineup and will always be the "Seven Fairies", but Zhonghui, Gao Yi, and Wang Yuanyuan have not had a chance, have they grasped it?

Wu Mengjie's performance in Macau was remarkable

This time, the firepower of public opinion was focused on Wang Yunrui, and Cai Bin got off the donkey and took the opportunity to remove Wang Yunrui, but the most fundamental reason is not that Wu Mengjie finally played in Macau?

When Lang Ping was coaching the national team before, he once said that many players can't even pass the basic skills, and they need to practice again when they get to the national team......

But the national team should be a place to knead combat effectiveness, not a youth academy!

What's the problem? Women's Volleyball League!

04 How can a barren league bloom fragrant flowers?

In the past ten years, the Turkish women's volleyball team has been a second-rate powerhouse in Europe, but it has risen at the speed of light in the past two years, why?

Of course, it is because of the Turkish Women's Volleyball League, which is known as the "world's No. 1 women's volleyball league".

The best stars, the most frenetic atmosphere, the most exciting technical and tactical collisions.

Even Zhu Ting, who was at her peak, was the first person in the world, and wanted to play in the Turkish League.

Zhu Ting led Turkey's Wafoki Bank to win the Club World Cup

Today, I believe that most sports fans can understand a simple truth - a stable and high-level league has a huge and obvious effect on the improvement of the level of participating players.

How strong was the Chinese women's football team 20 years ago, there is no need to say more, right?

Then, the women's football league in Europe has only been officially held for less than ten years, and this year's Women's World Cup, people and us are already playing completely different football.

In the same way, the women's volleyball league of Turkey and Italy, plus the women's volleyball Champions League, so many high-level players competing on the same field, so many high-intensity games, so many world-renowned coaches, these together, the sparks of collision, how can the small group training of more than a dozen people be compared?

Is it that our women's volleyball girls don't work hard? Is it that Cai Bin doesn't want to win?

In the Women's Volleyball World Youth Championship that year, Yang Hanyu was infinitely beautiful, not only led the team to win the championship, but also won the MVP of the event. Seven years have passed, Yang Hanyu has not been high or low in the Shandong women's volleyball team, and the national team is also in and out, and even a substitute is unstable.

One of the best secondary attacks in the world at the moment, Güneche

On the other hand, Güneshi, who was overwhelmed by Yang Hanyu in the same World Youth Championships, is now one of the best secondary attacks in the world, and is the favorite to win the Olympic Games this year.

Open your eyes to the world and stop working behind closed doors.

05 What is the future of the Chinese women's volleyball team?

Cai Bin certainly has his problems, and there are many of them.

But he wasn't the one who should apologize, or he shouldn't be the only one.

In the last year of the East Olympic cycle, Director Lang Ping was already keenly aware of the changes in the trend of the world women's volleyball team, so he asked the volleyball management center to arrange more training in Europe, and then was rejected without surprise.

Coach Lang Ping has a forward-looking vision, but it is useless

In the past, domestic leagues could still attract top players like Jin Ruanjing, but now?

The Chinese women's volleyball team has such a big golden signboard, and there is no shortage of potential stars with excellent appearance, temperament and ball skills among the girls in China.

The women's volleyball league has been running for so many years, and the more it is played, the more it looks like a four-like, and the importance is even worse than that of the women's volleyball team of the National Games.

The women's volleyball league every season, when it starts and when it ends, may not be found in the corners of the major online sports sectors, let alone player introductions and player data.

Open the homepage of the Chinese Volleyball Association, and the introduction of the women's volleyball league is even more rare......

In such a league, in addition to warming up, what is the point of exercise?

Admittedly, there are many problems in this, some of which can be elaborated on, and some of which cannot be elaborated upon.

When the reporter interviewed Li Yingying and asked her if she had any plans to play abroad, she said that she did not have it for the time being.

Whether it's her own thoughts or the team's thoughts, but this answer always makes people feel a little depressed.

24-year-old Li Yingying still has no plans to play abroad

Perhaps, the ultimate answer, the words "separation of management and management", is too heavy, Chinese football has not been able to bypass, Chinese basketball has not been able to bypass, Chinese volleyball, of course, there is no exception.

But now that the European Women's Volleyball League is in full swing, it looks like it is about to get rid of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

Today is Cai Bin's apology, but tomorrow, who will apologize?
