Coach Guo Ping confirmed that Fan Zhendong Malone voluntarily withdrew from the Asian Cup. What is the reason why they quit?

China table tennis team players Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin, as well as head coaches Qin Zhijian and Ma Lin withdrew from the ITTF China Open in Chengdu. Qin Zhijian, Secretary-General of China Table Tennis Association and head coach of the men's team, said that Fan Zhendong and Malone, as the top two players in Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, will participate in WTT two races in succession, which will consume a lot. Take the initiative to withdraw from the Asian Cup competition according to your own situation. One of the main reasons why athletes choose to retire is that they have lost their competitiveness or their competitiveness has gradually declined. Malone chose to withdraw from this World Table Tennis Championships, not because of the decline in competitiveness. The Chinese Table Tennis Association gave two reasons for giving up the Asian Championship. First, the time of the Asian Table Tennis Championships and the National Games are not staggered. The National Games was held from September 17 to September 26th, while the Asian Championships started on September 28th, only one day apart, which was too short. In addition, according to the flight information, there was no plane to Qatar at that time, so Guo Ping could not arrive in Qatar after the National Games and before the Asian Championships. The epidemic situation abroad is more severe. If you go abroad to play games now, you will be quarantined for 2 1 day when you come back. This will delay the training progress of the players and affect their participation in the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston in June165438+1October. Because it is not conducive to the training of new players, I decided to give up participating in this Asian Championship. One is that time is not allowed, and the other is that the isolation caused by the epidemic will affect the players' preparation for the World Table Tennis Championships. According to the current progress of training talents in Guo Ping, it is estimated that veterans will still play in the next Olympic Games, because the newcomers have not yet grown up. On the other hand, foreign newcomers have gradually made progress and even achieved good results. Therefore, what Guo Ping should do is to give newcomers some opportunities to exercise, instead of blindly fearing failure. The main reason is to prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships, and the men's team coach Qin Zhijian and Fan Zhendong's head coach Wang Hao also added, and the fans also expressed their understanding.
