In the second round of the Women's Volleyball Champions League group stage, Zhu Ting's reigning champions, Conegliano Volleyball Club, had to travel to Croatia to face Zagreb Volleyball Club. In the previous Italian league match, Zhu Ting was rested, but ultimately failed to rest as she came on in the final stages to replace Gaby for blocking. This was also the first time Zhu Ting had to come on to save the game while being rested since joining Conegliano. After four rounds of the Champions League group stage, Conegliano has won all four matches, only losing one set, so their advantage is quite obvious. The Champions League group stage is also an opportunity for Conegliano to train their players, with the main players often getting the chance to rest. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how Santarelli deploys his troops for this match. Ultimately, Conegliano won 3-0, securing their fifth consecutive victory and currently topping the group. The scores of the three sets were 25-16, 25-16, 25-23, with the opponent showing their level in the third set. For this match, Conegliano's main lineup was mostly rested, with Zhu Ting leading the team alone, partnering with Lukašik on the main attack line, Japanese player Kan Natsu as the second setter, and the familiar Rubian as the vice attacker. Zhu Ting performed well in this match, scoring a total of 14 points with 22 attacks, 13 successful hits, and 1 block, with only 1 block against her, maintaining a high efficiency. This was also one of the rare matches where Zhu…

In the heated arena of the Chinese Women's Volleyball League, a fierce battle has just concluded, leaving behind lingering warmth, yet the enthusiasm of the fans remains undiminished. Among the crowd, a young and dazzling figure stands out - Li Yingying, patiently signing autographs for enthusiastic fans with a warm smile on her face. A fan seriously asks, "Yingying, when are you going to develop on a higher stage? You deserve much better!" In response to this unexpected question, Li Yingying smiles slightly, a fleeting complex emotion flashing in her eyes, softly replying, "There's nothing wrong with staying." Although spoken in a relaxed tone, these words seem to contain endless depth and helplessness. On the domestic women's volleyball league stage, Li Yingying has undoubtedly become the brightest star. Her every spike and save seem to declare to the world that her era has arrived. Whether it was the ups and downs of Tianjin Women's Volleyball at the beginning of the season or the increasingly powerful team in the playoffs with Yao Di's return, Li Yingying's performance remained consistent, stable, and brilliant. She leads the scoring and spiking charts by a wide margin, almost single-handedly carrying the entire team forward. Such a performance is undoubtedly the best interpretation of her remarkable abilities. However, for such a player who has almost reached an "invincible" level on the domestic stage, continuing to stay in this familiar battleground seems to no longer satisfy her pursuit of higher-level competition. Li Yingying's gaze has long been directed towards the broader international arena. In the recently concluded…

Translation of the article content into English: Recently, Zhu Ting's starting position has become precarious, especially in the matches of Connelly. You may still remember that Zhu Ting just won the World Cup championship with the Connelly women's volleyball team and was selected into the best lineup, looking very promising. But after returning to the Italian league, there has been a change. Especially with a new face, the situation has become more complicated. The young American player Lanier performed exceptionally well, seemingly favored by the club. This young player has outstanding attacking ability and huge potential, and the club is willing to invest more resources to cultivate her. In contrast, although Zhu Ting is experienced and stable on defense, this season's injuries have affected her competitive state, especially her performance on the offensive end has significantly decreased. Connelly's goal is clear - they not only want to win the Serie A championship but also aim for every major competition around the world. This team invested heavily this season, early proving their ambition through the Club World Cup, and the following matches have all been successfully winning consecutive victories. The competition between Zhu Ting and Lanier at the main attacker position has obviously become a hot topic for the team. In the recent Serie A league, the change in the starting lineup of Connelly has made people's eyes shine. The whole team is basically the main force of the World Cup, the only exception being Zhu Ting and Hake are not among them. More surprisingly, Zhu Ting was replaced in the…

In the aftermath of the investigation into Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, many believed that the anti-corruption efforts within China's sports sector might have come to an end. However, this was merely a perception; in reality, the anti-corruption campaign within the domestic sports sector has not ceased and is ongoing. Indeed, another high-ranking official from the original General Administration of Sport has been officially announced to be under investigation. Recently, it was officially declared that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center under the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation. Within the context of anti-corruption within the domestic sports sector, the most profound impression is naturally associated with the anti-corruption efforts in the domestic football sector. Just before the commencement of the Qatar World Cup, Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese men's national football team and a former well-known international player, who was originally scheduled to appear as a heavyweight commentator for a domestic live broadcast platform, was suddenly taken away for investigation during a coaching training session. Li Tie's removal marked the formal opening of the anti-corruption curtain in the domestic football sector. Shortly thereafter, dozens of individuals within the domestic football circle, including several high-level officials from the Chinese Football Association, were subjected to investigations or assistance in investigations. Ultimately, even Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, was implicated. This time, the investigation concerns Chinese…

As the competition progresses, the qualification situation for both groups will gradually become clear. Here are the matchups for today's eight teams: 15:30 Shenzhen Australian Dragon Tigers vs. Shanghai Bright Dairy Shenzhen Zhongse Longhua seems to have little desire left this season. Their goal was to avoid relegation and remain in the A-level league, which they have already achieved. Winning or losing in the games doesn't affect them much anymore, and they've become a team that gives away points easily. They only won one out of 14 regular-season games, and it's doubtful if…

On January 11th, the fourth round of the 2024-2025 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball League A-level playoffs will kick off. According to the analysis of the strength of the opposing teams, among the four matches, three have no suspense, and one is uncertain in outcome. It should be noted that CCTV, which has the greatest influence, widest reach, and strongest communication power, did not arrange a live broadcast for the fourth round after broadcasting the first three rounds of the playoffs. After the first three rounds, Group C's Jiangsu ranked first with three consecutive victories, Shanghai ranked second with two wins and one loss, Fujian ranked third with one win and two losses, and Shenzhen ranked fourth with three consecutive defeats. In Group D, the defending champion Tianjin maintained a perfect record with 9 points at the top, Liaoning ranked second with two wins and one loss, Shandong ranked third with one win and two losses, and Beijing Automotive ranked last with three consecutive defeats. In the fourth round of matches, the matchups are as follows: Shenzhen challenges Shanghai (the home team is listed first, same below), Fujian faces Jiangsu; Liaoning challenges Tianjin, and Shandong faces Beijing Automotive. Analyzing the strength, Shanghai defeating Shenzhen, who has not won a game in the playoffs, is not a problem. Jiangsu, led by Zhang Changning, Gong Xiangyu, and Wu Mengjie, defeating Fujian with slightly inferior strength, also has no suspense. Tianjin, led by Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, and Yao Di, taking down Liaoning led by Ding Xia, will not face too much…

Recently, the Chinese Women's Volleyball League has been in full swing, and fans who have watched the games know that each team is very strong in every league, with almost every team having star players. Therefore, every match of the Super League is highly anticipated. In fact, the teams that make it to the finals of the league each year hardly change, so many players choose to play for foreign associations when the national team has no matches. For example, Zhu Ting has been playing abroad for years, and last year, the national team's main player Yuan Xin Yue also chose to play in the European league. In recent times, the official media of the European Volleyball League released the points table for this season's Champions League on the platform, and among the top five vice-attacking players, Yuan Xin Yue took one spot. This time, Yuan Xin Yue joined Vakifbank and played four games on behalf of Vakifbank, performing brilliantly in each game, doing well both offensively and defensively. As a result, Vakifbank maintained a perfect record. Since joining the team, Yuan Xin Yue has gradually become a key player for Vakifbank, relying on her height and blocking awareness. In the games, she has repeatedly turned the tide, providing a smooth offensive rhythm for both ends of the team. In a recently concluded match, Yuan Xin Yue had a spike rate as high as 70%, which won her unanimous praise from the head coach and fans. Recently, the European Volleyball League published a list, and Yuan Xin Yue topped the…

With the approach of the Volleyball World Championship, the rebuilding of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and the appointment of a new head coach are inevitable. To provide more options for this rebuilding process, the Chinese Volleyball Association previously held a training camp for reserve talents, inviting coaches like Yuan Lingxi and Kuang Qi to lead the training. As preparations for the new season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team begin, the selection of the team captain has attracted much attention from fans. It is well-known that the previous captain was Yuan Xinyue. However, when Zhu Ting returned, many fans hoped she would reassume the role of captain, but the Volleyball Association ultimately did not change the captaincy. In the new cycle, it is likely that the captain of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team will change. Why? The current captain, Yuan Xinyue, started her overseas career this season, performing well in the Turkish league. Next season, Yuan Xinyue is likely to continue playing abroad. Since she cannot stay in the country for extended periods and might miss training camps, she will have to step down as captain and pass on the responsibility to someone else. Naturally, under similar circumstances, Zhu Ting, who is also playing abroad, would not be suitable for the role either. What requirements must the new captain of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team meet in this new cycle? First, they need strong organizational and communication skills. Second, their age should align with the 2028 Olympic cycle. Third, they should be playing for a domestic club, as the…

This afternoon, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, was investigated, becoming a hot topic on the internet. For many fans, the ups and downs of the Chinese women's volleyball team over the years have been directly related to Li Quanqiang. As the first high-ranking official in the volleyball field to be investigated, Li Quanqiang's downfall may uncover problems that have long been hidden in the volleyball field. The reason why Li Quanqiang's investigation has caused such a stir is that he has been deeply involved in the Chinese volleyball world for too long. From 1997 to 2022, for 25 years, Li Quanqiang has been a senior manager in the volleyball world, serving as the leader of the men's and women's volleyball teams, and finally retiring from his position as the top leader of volleyball. Over the years, no matter how the women's volleyball team performed, even in the face of tragic defeats, Li Quanqiang's position remained unshakable, making him known as the "indestructible" figure in the Chinese volleyball world. Moreover, when Li Quanqiang was finally investigated, he was the top leader of the Volleyball Management Center, with significant influence. Long-term, the Chinese volleyball world has not received much attention from the outside world, except during major events like the Olympics and World Championships for the women's team, and people rarely pay attention to the development of volleyball, especially the men's team. Therefore, with Li Quanqiang's investigation, people are curious about how the corrupt interest chain in the volleyball world was…
