As the countdown to the Paris Olympics begins, the teams are making their final sprints. The three teams of Serbia, France and the United States, which are in Group A with the Chinese women's volleyball team, have chosen to train on behalf of the game, and they have already communicated with other teams and will start the warm-up mode.
The Serbian women's volleyball team will travel to Poland before the Olympics to participate in the "Agata Mroz-Oszewska Memorial Tournament". It is reported that the competition was set up to commemorate the former Polish national player Mloz, and this year's event will be held in Meletz, Poland from July 16 to 19, with a total of 4 teams from Poland, Serbia, France and Dominica participating.
According to the schedule, the first match day will be Serbia against France and Poland against Dominica; The second match day was Dominica against Serbia and France against Poland; The third match day was France vs. Dominica and Poland vs. Serbia, with a total of six matches. Since Serbia and France are both opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the group stage, they are particularly interesting.
The main squad of the Serbian women's volleyball team is suspended from the Nations League, which is also the only time that the teams have the opportunity to learn about the situation in Serbia before the Olympics. Before the Tokyo Olympics, Serbia had only played three training matches against Italy before the games. The U.S. women's volleyball team will play three friendly matches with the Netherlands in Long Beach, on July 10, 12 and 14In addition, the Dutch women's team has ruled out the warm-up with the United States, and is scheduled to play two more warm-up matches on July 20-21.
In other words, in Group A, except for the Chinese team, which has not been exposed to the news of the warm-up match, the remaining 3 teams will participate in the warm-up match. The reason for this situation is related to the "training concept". The Chinese women's volleyball team adheres to the principle of hard training at home, and foreign teams are "training by competition". To be honest, according to the rhythm of this Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team should still avoid working behind closed doors and participate in more friendly matches and warm-up matches.
Because there are only 3 games in the Olympic group stage, and it is to play the United States, the Chinese women's volleyball team has always been "slow to heat", and the victory or loss of this game is likely to be related to whether the team can qualify from the group. In this case, if the Chinese team wants to overcome the bad problem of "slow heat", it needs to play more warm-up games and activate part of the state before the Olympic competition, otherwise when the United States, France and Serbia have already entered the state, only the Chinese team is still out of state, and it will be difficult to win.
If the Chinese women's volleyball team wants to remain mysterious and hide its skills and tactics until the last moment, it may wish to consider restarting the "gender war". This practice is a common practice for Chinese teams to resist European and American teams, using male players to simulate the powerful jumps and smashes of European and American players, in order to adapt to their smashing power and speed. As early as the Yuan Weimin period, the Chinese women's volleyball team had a gender war, and Hu Jin, Chen Zhonghe, Yu Juemin and others also used it.
During the preparation for the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team also had several gender battles with the substitutes of the Zhejiang men's volleyball team. I don't know, will Cai Bin follow the old tradition and restart the "gender war" in the final sprint?
