The 2022 Men’s Volleyball World Championships will be held in Slovenia and Poland from August 26 to September 11, with a total of 24 teams qualifying for the main draw. The Chinese team is in the same group as Italy, Canada and Turkey this time, and qualifying from the group is the team’s primary goal. On the afternoon of August 23rd, Beijing time, the Chinese Volleyball Association announced the list of 14 players for the World Championships. Zhang Jingyin, Zhang Zhejia, Peng Shikun and other main players who helped the team regain the Asian Cup championship after a lapse of 10 years were all selected. Because of injury, he missed the opportunity to go out for the country again.
The Asian Cup MVP leads the game? necessary!
In the 2022 Men’s Volleyball Asian Cup final on August 14, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3-0, regained the Asian Cup championship after a lapse of ten years, and was elected as the MVP of this Asian Cup (the most valuable) with excellent performance. Players) Zhang Jingyin and Peng Shikun and Zhang Zhejia, who were rated as the best secondary attackers, will be the main players this time, and they will once again travel with the team to the Men’s Volleyball World Championships.
Compared with the lineup in the Asian Cup, the Chinese men’s volleyball coach Wu Sheng has fine-tuned the lineup for the World Championships, and adjusted the positions of the sub-attack and free agent. Yang Tianyuan replaced Qu Zongshuai. In the main offensive position, Zhang Jingyin’s core position is unbeatable, and now almost the entire offensive system of the Chinese men’s volleyball team revolves around him. In addition, teenager Wang Bin also showed his ability in the Asian Cup. His spiking strength, speed of attack and jumping serve can provide “instant combat power” for the team’s offense. On the secondary offensive line, the combination of Zhang Zhejia and Peng Shikun can almost balance the Chinese men’s volleyball team on both the offensive and blocking ends. In terms of coping positions, Zhang Guanhua has become more mature after training in a series of competitions such as the Asian Cup and the World League, and the veteran Dai Qingyao can also assume the responsibility of the main attack when the team needs it. In the second position, the selection of Yu Yaochen and Liu Meng is a matter of course. In the relatively weak free agent position of the Chinese team, the reason why Yang Tianyuan replaced Qu Zongshuai may be that the coaching staff hopes that the former’s experience can provide more help to the team. In fact, this change has also aroused heated discussions among fans, because Qu Zongshuai’s performance in the Asian Cup is still commendable. This time, whether it is Yang Yiming or Yang Tianyuan, they need to prove themselves through the competition. Ability.
In addition, Wu Sheng, the Chinese men’s volleyball team coach, said frankly about the team’s failure to select Jiangchuan: “Our coaching staff and Jiangchuan have been in constant telephone contact. At present, his injury recovery has not reached an ideal state. Therefore, this World Championships He can only continue to be absent.”
Want to create the best record in history? not easy!
In March of this year, the FIVB announced that it had cancelled the right to host the 2022 World Men’s Volleyball Championship in Russia. Subsequently, Slovenia and Poland became the new hosts. A total of 24 teams have qualified for the main competition of the men’s volleyball world championship. In addition to the Chinese team in Group E, Group A includes Ukraine, Serbia, Tunisia and Puerto Rico, and Group B is Brazil, Japan, Cuba and Qatar. , Group C includes Poland, the United States, Mexico, and Bulgaria, Group D includes France, Slovenia, Germany, and Cameroon, and Group F includes Argentina, Iran, the Netherlands, and Egypt. Groups A and C are held in Katowice, Poland, and Groups B, D, E and F are held in Ljubljana, Slovenia. According to the schedule, the first stage of this tournament will be a single round-robin competition, with the top two teams in each group and the four third-place teams with the best results advancing to the top 16. The second stage consists of 1/8 finals, 1/4 finals, semi-finals and finals. The semi-finals and finals were held in Katowice, Poland.
On August 27th, Beijing time, the Chinese team will face the first opponent, the Turkish team, and then will play against the Canadian team and the Italian team. Judging from the historical record, the Chinese men’s volleyball team, which played in the finals of the men’s volleyball world championships for the first time in 1956, has won the seventh place in the world championships twice before (1978 and 1982). If the Chinese men’s volleyball team can play this time. Entering the top six in the World Championships will create the best record in team history. However, although the Chinese team once upset the world’s No. 1 Brazilian men’s volleyball team in the World League in June this year, and won the Asian Cup again not long ago, it is absolutely impossible to create the best record in history. Not easy.
In the group stage, the two teams of Turkey and Canada belonged to the same level as the Chinese team. If they play stably, the Chinese team is not without a chance to win, but the Italian team is significantly stronger, and the Chinese team has a very low chance of winning. Once the group qualified for the round of 16, the boys of the Chinese team will face the real test of tough battles. It is obviously unrealistic to expect the opponent to relax their vigilance or to perform at a super-level in every game. The Chinese team can do Yes, that is, we must fight for every ball and every game, and strive to go further in this World Championship.
