The director of the National Sports General Administration Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, has been investigated by the sports bureau for serious violations of discipline and law. Li Quanqiang's investigation two years after his retirement has also raised doubts among the public about Lai Yawen. After all, in the volleyball management center, Lai Yawen was once the second-in-command, and within nine years, two consecutive directors of the department were investigated and removed from office, which has made the volleyball management center itself a controversial place. After two "leaders" were investigated and dealt with, Lai Yawen, as the top leader, instead joined the coaching team to serve as an assistant coach to Cai Bin, which is indeed confusing. After all, Lai Yawen is Cai Bin's superior, and now helping out is not without suspicion. It must be said that whether it is Pan Zhichen, who is not a professional sports person but a private teacher, or Li Quanqiang, a sports person, they have both received widespread recognition from society. The former once served as the deputy director of the General Administration's Competitive Sports Department, while Li Quanqiang held office for 10 years. It can be seen that both sides belong to the intertwined corrupt forces. Now that both sides have been investigated and dealt with one after another, it is inevitable to make people suspicious. When Pan Zhichen was in charge, he was very resistant to media interviews. The external reason was that he was not a professional and it was difficult to describe clearly. Li Quanqiang, on the other hand,…

Recently, Chinese women's volleyball star Wang Yuanyuan announced a major decision on social media, disbanding her fan group and calling for joint resistance to the fan culture, which has sparked heated discussions among fans and media attention. Public information shows that Wang Yuanyuan was born in 1997 and is from Shanxi. She plays as a vice attacker on the court! In 2009, Wang Yuanyuan received volleyball training at the Tianjin Sports School. In 2015, Wang Yuanyuan joined the national youth women's volleyball team. In 2016, Wang Yuanyuan joined the Tianjin women's volleyball team and started her professional career. Since 2017, Wang Yuanyuan has become the main player of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. So far, Wang Yuanyuan has won the league championship six times for the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Among them, she even won five consecutive championships. Not long ago, Wang Yuanyuan followed the Tianjin women's volleyball team to participate in the Club World Cup. In the end, the Tianjin women's volleyball team won the runner-up. It also created the best record for the Chinese women's volleyball team and Asian women's volleyball teams in the Club World Cup. In terms of the national team, Wang Yuanyuan joined the Chinese women's volleyball team under the guidance of Lang Ping in 2017. After participating in the Swiss women's volleyball elite tournament, Wang Yuanyuan withdrew from the national team due to injury, thus missing the Jakarta Asian Games and the World Championships. In 2019, after recovering from injury, Wang Yuanyuan returned to the national team and followed the Chinese women's volleyball team…

In the international arena of women's volleyball, the change of head coaches is akin to a silent dance of transformation. With the appointment of Sullivan as the new head coach of the American women's volleyball team, many strong teams have completed their coaching changes after the Paris Olympics, a phenomenon that has spread like ripples throughout the international volleyball community. However, the Chinese women's volleyball team remains calm waters, having achieved only fifth place in the Olympics and showing no signs of movement in selecting a new coach, causing countless fans to be anxious, like ants on a hot pot. Why has there been no movement in the selection of a new coach for the Chinese women's volleyball team? A report by Kong Ning, a journalist from the Beijing Evening News, has revealed a glimpse of the situation. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; rivers and seas are formed by the accumulation of small streams." The achievements of the Chinese women's volleyball team were built step by step, but now they face a harsh reality: under the guidance of Cai Bin, the age advantage of the Chinese team has been exhausted. Looking at the current lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team, "The Seven Fairies" include Zhu Ting and Diao Linyu at 30 years old, Zhang Changning and Wang Mengjie at 29, and Gong Xiangyu and Wang Yuanyuan at 27. From an age perspective, these six players are gradually approaching the twilight of their athletic careers in the long river of time, making it difficult…

Recently, the affairs related to the Chinese women's volleyball team have been mired in many worrying issues. "To know what is straight, one must use a plumb line; to know what is square, one must use a compass." In a healthy and orderly development environment, rules and regulations are the guarantee. However, the various signs that have appeared in the field of volleyball management have made us worry about the future direction of the Chinese women's volleyball team. The new head coach has not yet been determined, and there is no clue as to the construction of the new team. The investigation of the former director of the Volleyball Management Center was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves. After the previous director of the Volleyball Management Center was caught, Li Quanqiang's arrest this time has made the Volleyball Management Center the target of public criticism. The problems hidden behind this seem to be closely related to the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Looking back at the process of Li Quanqiang's appointment, it was full of doubts. At that time, he was not at the forefront in the ranking of热度 among deputy director candidates. However, Liu Wenbin, who should have played an important role in the development of the women's volleyball team and had outstanding achievements and a good relationship with Lang Ping, was transferred to the Tennis Management Center, and Li Quanqiang unexpectedly ascended to the position of director of the Volleyball Management Center. The true logic behind this appointment seems…

Recently, the investigation of Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, has caused a stir, making Chinese volleyball, following football, the focus of public attention. As the light shines on Li Quanqiang's case, another influential figure from the past in the women's volleyball field has come to light—Pan Zhichen. Pan Zhichen began his career as a private sports teacher. His background as a non-professional athlete sets him apart from the traditional image of high-level sports administrators. However, "heroes are not questioned about their origins," and he rose to important positions such as the director of the Volleyball Management Center through his abilities and opportunities. During his tenure, Pan Zhichen was very low-key, rarely giving media interviews. This low-key approach may reflect his personality, but it also suggests that he had his own unique pace and methods when dealing with work. In terms of business, he showed a talent for communication and listening to opinions. For example, when the Chinese women's volleyball team faced difficulties and was in a trough period of development, Pan Zhichen made a significant move that would later have a profound impact on the team's rise to glory. He went to Guangdong to invite Lang Ping to come out of retirement and coach the Chinese women's volleyball team. Lang Ping was a shining star in the sports world at the time. She had achieved certain success coaching abroad and was offered an attractive annual salary of 5 million yuan by Guangzhou Evergrande Women's Volleyball Team when she returned to coach them. This is a…

The women's volleyball league has reached the 18th round of the first stage of the playoffs, yet the head coach of the national team remains elusive, with fans and analysts speculating on potential candidates such as Cai Bin, Lang Ping, Chen Fang, Kuang Qi, Zhao Yong, Wang Zhiteng, Zhu Ting, and others. However, there has been no definitive news, causing concern among fans. The official platform of the Shanghai Volleyball Association published an article titled "Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center Holds a Coaches' Seminar - Cai Bin Attends the Meeting," which states: "This seminar invited Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the training director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, to exchange experiences on athlete training and preparation with all coaches, discussing how to maximize victory for the team based on practical combat situations." The article confirms Cai Bin's identity as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he also holds the position of training director for the Shanghai Volleyball Center. After Lang Ping stepped down following the Tokyo Olympics, Cai Bin took over and worked alongside Lai Yawen, who served as the deputy director and director of the Volleyball Management Center during the Paris Olympics. Although they only achieved fifth place, the overall performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team was commendable. They defeated the reigning champions from the Tokyo Olympics and the eventual silver medalists at the Paris Olympics, the United States women's volleyball team, as well as two-time World Championship winners Serbia and host nation France, advancing to the…

Recently, the women's volleyball league has entered a fierce stage, and here is a review of the players' performance! As well as predictions for the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Los Angeles Olympic cycle! In the position of vice attack, national player Yang Hanyu has made great progress! The three best vice attacks this season are Xiaomartin, Feiwa, and Yang Hanyu. Wang Yuanyuan and Xue Yizhi are also good, but the author thinks they are slightly inferior to these three. The most aggressive Xiaomartin, the most comprehensive Fetisova in serving, spiking, blocking, defending, and cushioning, Yang Hanyu's attacking and blocking are relatively balanced, but her serve is weak. This season, Yang Hanyu has made great progress, with particularly outstanding offense and excellent blocking. I am optimistic about her playing the main force for the national team! In the setter position, the three most outstanding setters are still veterans: such as Yao Di from Tianjin Women's Volleyball, Diao Linyu from Jiangsu, and Ding Xia from Liaoning. The three really have not lost their edge, each with their own characteristics! Among the young setters, Jie Shengyu from Shandong, Zou Jiaqi from Beijing, and Xu Xiaoting from Shanghai stand out, but they also have their own shortcomings! However, there is a feature among setters: many tall setters have emerged! For example, Meng Dou from Tianjin (born in 1997, 189cm), Sun Yan from Jiangsu (born on August 24, 2001, 187cm), Zhang Zihan from Henan (born on May 2, 2000, 186cm), Jie Shengyu from Shandong (born on May 28, 2004, 187cm), Zhu Hangting from…

The top four teams have been determined in the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs, with Tianjin, Jiangsu, and Shanghai securing their spots. The remaining spot will be contested between Liaoning and Shandong from Group D. Today's match, where Shandong hosts Liaoning, presents a complex scenario with 14 different possibilities that could determine the final top-four position. Meanwhile, Li Yingying of Tianjin Volleyball is resting. Let's take a look at the pre-match standings in Group D: If Liaoning defeats Shandong 3:0 or 3:1, Liaoning will secure all 3 points, reaching a total of 9 points and directly advancing to the top four. If Liaoning wins against Shandong 3:2, Liaoning will have 8 points while Shandong will have 6 points. The next round of matches will become very complicated: If Liaoning loses to Beijing 0:3 or 1:3, and Shandong defeats Tianjin 3:0 or 3:1, Shandong will surpass Liaoning in points and directly advance to the top four. If Liaoning loses to Beijing 0:3 or 1:3, and Shandong defeats Tianjin 3:2, both teams will have the same points, requiring a calculation of minor scores to determine who advances. If Liaoning loses to Beijing 2:3, and Shandong defeats Tianjin 3:0 or 3:1, both teams will have the same points, necessitating a calculation of minor scores to decide who advances. If Liaoning defeats Beijing, regardless of the outcome of the Shandong-Tianjin match, Liaoning will advance to the top four. If Liaoning loses to Shandong 2:3, both teams will have 7 points each. The next round of matches will also be complex: If Liaoning loses…

Here is the translated content of the article: At present, the first stage of the playoffs for the 2024-2025 season women's volleyball league has concluded, with Tianjin, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Liaoning successfully advancing to the top four. Among these teams, the Jiangsu women's volleyball team consists entirely of Chinese players, while the other three teams have introduced foreign players. So, who has been the most successful in recruiting foreign players? And what challenges have each team faced? Let's take a look at the details below: Tianjin Women's Volleyball: Tapiya struggled to integrate into the team system, but local players like Chen Boya gained growth and confidence. Unlike other teams in the Super League, Tianjin also had the task of participating in the World Club Cup this year. Tianjin had to enhance its strength through the introduction of foreign players to compete against high-level clubs like Conegliano. Tapiya was the foreign player Tianjin brought in for the reception position this season. However, not only did Tapiya fail to help the team, but she also put Tianjin in a dilemma. On one hand, Tapiya's strong attacking ability was significantly inferior to that of previous player Vargas. On the other hand, Tapiya did not receive serves, which meant that Tianjin's only strong attacking point, Li Yingying, had to receive serves to support Tapiya. After careful consideration, Tianjin decided to bench Tapiya, and she remained on the sidelines throughout the season, including the World Club Cup. Tapiya's inability to play instead unleashed the potential of local players such as Chen Boya, Yang Yi, Liu…

Recently, in the latest round of the Italian women's volleyball league, four outstanding players have successfully made it to the list of candidates for the Round 17 MVP award. They are Paula Egonu (Milan Volleyball), Camilla Weizel (Vallefolia Volleyball), Marina Lubian (Conegliano Volleyball) and Annet Nemeth (Perugia Volleyball). These players have shown excellent form and comprehensive skills in their respective positions, making significant contributions to their teams. According to the current situation, the details of the players are as follows: Egonu, who plays for Milan, remains the core of the team's offense. In this round, she scored a total of 26 points with an attack success rate of 67%, including 3 blocks and 1 direct serve score. As one of the world's top receivers, Egonu relies on her strong attacking power and excellent game reading ability to influence the outcome of almost every match. Her powerful attacks and back-row offense are difficult for opponents to defend against. Weizel, who plays for Vallefolia, performed very comprehensively in this round, especially in the defensive phase at the net, where she scored 18 points, including 7 blocks that showcased her exceptional defensive capabilities. Additionally, Weizel had an attack success rate of 59% and 1 direct serve score. As a young German vice attacker, Weizel has become an indispensable force within the team, relying on her height advantage and quick movements. Lubian, the vice attacker from Conegliano and also Zhu Ting's teammate, was highly efficient in this game, contributing a total of 14 points with an attack success rate of 85%. This data is…
