Of course, Liu has been so expected by fans. According to Miyazaki Hayao, the godfather of Japanese table tennis, it is because Liu, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, is particularly optimistic about Liu. It can be said that without Liu's support, Liu would not have won the women's singles championship at the 20 19 World Table Tennis Championships. Only Liu has such great confidence that Mikei Ito and Kazuo are all assigned to the same singles half. This enabled Liu to enter the finals smoothly. After all, Liu's strongest outsourcing rival is Kato in this half area. It can be said that Liu won the most relaxed half-court draw.
Therefore, after winning the championship, Liu said in an interview that Liu is a noble person. Because winning the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships at that time meant that half a foot entered the Olympic women's singles arena. At that time, fans and fans were very happy that Liu won the most important singles championship. However, God forbid, the Tokyo Olympic Games will be postponed, and Liu Ye began a year-long retirement mode. It stands to reason that Liu is too old and hasn't participated in the competition for a long time, so he can't prove his ability yet. But even so, it was established as the core player of the Olympic Games.
This made many fans question Serina Liu's strength. Up to now, it has maintained the record of defeating Ito Mikei twice, and today's world ranking has not even reached the top five in the world. This is what fans are most dissatisfied with, because Sun Yingsha, ranked second in the world, and Manyu Wang, ranked fourth in the world, maintained a very high winning rate against Ito Meicheng. However, two young athletes have not yet qualified for the Olympic Games. Therefore, many fans are dissatisfied with Liu's employment mode, because when Liu was the last Cai Zhenhua to lead the national table tennis team, Liu ranked first in the world at that time, and none of them had been qualified for the Olympic Games.
Because in the era when Cai Zhenhua was in power, Guo Ping paid more attention to the players' ability to fight foreign wars. At that time, Liu Zheng was in the golden age of his career. At that time, the national table tennis coaching team did not give Liu a chance to prove himself, but Liu did not perform well in some major competitions. Especially in the 20 15 Asian Championships and the Asian Cup, Liu was defeated by Singaporean Feng Tianwei twice, which really gave Liu a chance to participate in the Olympic singles. In the face of Feng Tianwei, can Liu Can get away with it in such an important game?
Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, the national table tennis coaching team at that time did not let Liu participate in the Olympic singles competition, but only let her participate in the Olympic team competition. Because of this, Liu Ye withdrew from the 20 16 Women's World Cup, which enabled Japanese table tennis player Hirano Miwoo to win the World Cup. At that time, Liu was also banned by the national table tennis team. Compared with Liu's withdrawal more than a dozen times in a row, it was really nine Niu Yi hairs at that time.
The reason why this happens has a lot to do with the completely different ways used by Cai Zhenhua and Liu in Liu. Liu gave the fans the impression that the veteran was reused. Look at the men's table tennis and women's table tennis now, or the veteran is in charge. Malone and Xu Xin of men's table tennis and Liu He of women's table tennis are all over thirty. They are still the absolute main force to participate in the Olympic Games. Men's table tennis is because the veteran is really strong and it is difficult to find too many substitutes.
At present, there are many women table tennis players who are better than Liu and He. Players like Chen Xingtong are not inferior to Liu and Chen Xingtong in foreign wars. Perhaps some fans will take the so-called champion and veteran experience as the reason why young players can't participate in the Olympic Games. But without a champion like Miki Ito, how many of those outsourcing players really have a champion? But these foreign athletes still take part in the Olympic Games.
So this has a lot to do with Liu's foresight. Cai Zhenhua's employment strategy pays more attention to players' ability to fight tough battles and foreign wars. Liu's employment model is still not flexible enough in many cases. Otherwise, Ito Meicheng's international points could not rise continuously in the past two years, threatening Guo Ping's Olympic singles and double insurance.
