Before you know it, there are only more than 20 days left before the opening ceremony of the new Paris Olympic Games, and all participating teams have entered the final sprint stage. The women's volleyball teams of the United States and Italy, which are old powerhouses, announced their Olympic participation lists early, and it was not until recently that a third team followed in their footsteps. After careful consideration and layers of investigation, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally determined the Olympic lineup, and the teenager Zhuang Yushan took the last train and successfully got the only P card. The remaining 12 people rotate the lineup, basically using the players from the last Olympic cycle, and there is only one newcomer in the strict sense, Wu Mengjie. And Diao Linyu, II-VI and Zheng Yixin, although they are participating for the first time, they are also players left over from the Lang Ping period.
It is conceivable that the Chinese women's volleyball team has not cultivated several outstanding newcomers for three years, and head coach Cai Bin is indeed too conservative. It is precisely because of this that the unchanged lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team has been continuously looked down upon by foreign media, first of all, the Brazilian media pointed out that Cai Bin should not bring Zheng Yixin. Well-known Brazilian media believe that Cai Bin should let Zhang Changning change to the receiving position and give up Zheng Yixin's opportunity to give other newcomers more opportunities to perform. After all, Zheng Yixin's performance in this year's World League is not outstanding, and it can even be described as bad, and the Brazilian media did not understand the real reason why Cai Bin chose her. In addition to the Brazilian media, the Turkish media also believe that the Chinese women's volleyball team is not to be feared, and pointed out that as long as the Chinese women's volleyball team enters the quarterfinals, it can be regarded as a success.
Seeing that foreign media are so optimistic about the Chinese women's volleyball team, and another media directly predicts the probability of each team winning the championship this year, the Chinese women's volleyball team was once again ranked 6th. Perhaps it was the poor results of the last Olympic Games that made this media sure that the Chinese women's volleyball team did not do much, but it only ranked the Chinese women's volleyball team in the 6th place in the championship probability list, which is indeed a little lower. In first place is the Italian women's volleyball team, which is gradually maturing after experiencing the turmoil of changing coaches, and the Italian women's volleyball team has just won the World League championship, which is indeed a strong opponent. What's more, the lineup configuration of the Italian women's volleyball team is completely super-first-class, no wonder the website ranks the Italian women's volleyball team at the top of the list.
The second place is the Turkish women's volleyball team, and after naturalizing Vargas, Turkey soon became one of the world's first-class ranks. The Turkish women's volleyball team, under the leadership of new coach Santadelli, has won many honors, and it is not surprising that the Olympic Games are now ranked second in the list of probability of winning the championship. Followed by Brazil, the United States and Serbia, these three teams are also old strong teams, among which the United States women's volleyball team is the defending champion, all of which can only be ranked third, which is enough to see how fierce the competition for the championship of this Olympic Games is, and it is no wonder that the Chinese women's volleyball team is only ranked 6th. In addition to the Chinese women's volleyball team, there is another Asian powerhouse that is also underestimated, that is, the Japanese women's volleyball team, which ranks 8th.
The Japanese women's volleyball team, which is known for its small and fast style of play, has a super-first-class defensive level, and the Japanese women's volleyball team also sent all the main players to participate, and head coach Masayoshi Manabe pointed to the championship. But such a team is only ranked 8th in the championship probability list, and it is indeed underestimated. The Polish women's volleyball team is ranked behind the Chinese women's volleyball team, that is, 7th, followed by the Netherlands, Dominica, France and Kenya, ranking 9-12 in the championship probability list. Seeing this ranking of the probability of winning the championship, many Chinese fans are not convinced, whether the Chinese women's volleyball team can prove itself again, let's wait and see!
