Why didn't the German and French coaches appear in Macau and Xinxiang during the World Championships in Chengdu? To answer this question, we must make clear the difference between the organizer of Chengdu World Championships and these two stops. The World Championships are hosted by ITTF, while the finals in Macau and Xinxiang are hosted by WTT. ITTF's members are table tennis associations in various countries, while WTT holds a series of events with professional players as the main body. The Chengdu World Championships held by ITTF will participate in the name of the National Table Tennis Association. Of course, every national team will send coaches to assist, hoping to win glory for the country. Participants in WTT series are all individual professional players, and it is up to the players to decide whether the coach will go or not.
The German players who participated in this World Cup finals are all professional table tennis players, and they rely on their own competition bonuses to protect their careers. Unlike China, Japan and other countries, their bonuses are all the players' own, and they have to bear all the expenses themselves. Players may feel that domestic games are far away and all kinds of expenses are expensive. In addition, it is more difficult to get a high bonus in the face of a strong China opponent, save it!
