Speaking of Chen Xingtong, I wonder if you have found such a problem. With Liu retired, Zhu Yuling retired due to illness, and Ding Ning retired, Chen Xingtong has basically settled in the position of the fourth main force in women's table tennis, but compared with, and, Chen Xingtong has basically no sense of existence in table tennis. Even at the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, few fans paid attention to Chen Xingtong's signing, so many fans thought that Chen Xingtong was no longer the top player in women's table tennis and had completely "fallen behind".
A few days ago, Li Sun, head coach of women's table tennis, talked about the gap between Chen Xingtong and the three main players of women's table tennis for the first time when interviewed by CCTV reporters! Li Sun, head coach of the national table tennis women's team, believes that there are three main differences between Chen Xingtong and the other three national table tennis players. First of all, although Chen Xingtong has good skills, he lacks the ability to control the game; Secondly, Chen Xingtong lacks clear goals; Finally, Chen Xingtong lacks a powerful energy. For the above three reasons, Chen Xingtong seems to lag behind Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang.
In view of the gap between Chen Xingtong and the other three main players in women's table tennis, although Li Sun's statement is well-founded, it has been questioned by domestic fans! Some fans think that although coach Li Sun makes sense, this is not the main reason for the gap between Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Manyu Wang and Chen Xingtong. The fan believes that the main reasons for Chen Xingtong's gap are: he can't be reused in the team, he can't get opportunities in the game, and he becomes a sparring partner for other players.
Back in the second half of 20 19, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang were not much better than Chen Xingtong, who was ranked in the top ten in the world for a long time. In recent two years, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang have opened the gap with Chen Xingtong and others, which may have her own reasons, but it must also be related to her lack of attention from the national team. But then again, although Chen Xingtong's attention is not as good as that of Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang, she still has some strength. I hope she can get good results in the World Table Tennis Championships. Come on!
