Just a few days ago, the Paris Olympics came to a close, and the Chinese women's volleyball team delivered a mediocre performance. Honestly, this result has left our fans feeling uneasy!
To talk about this matter, we have to start with coach Cai Bin. Over the past three years, Coach Cai has endured a lot of criticism, constantly being attacked by online trolls. Imagine, a living person being scolded every day - who could stand it? Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore and had to leave.
With Coach Cai gone, the position of head coach for our women's volleyball team became vacant. And then, the online fans exploded! They were all shouting: "Lang Ping, come back!" "Only Director Lang can save the women's volleyball team!"
When it comes to Lang Ping, she is truly the living symbol of our women's volleyball team! It was her who led the girls to win that shiny Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. With such achievements, who wouldn't be convinced?
However, things aren't that simple. Director Lang did say that if she were to become a coach again, she would definitely consider the Chinese women's volleyball team first. But the problem is, she never intended to become a coach again in the first place!
Not long ago, Director Lang made an appearance in Hangzhou and then flew to the United States. There, she watched American football games with her family, enjoying a very comfortable life. Who would want to give up such a retirement life?
In my opinion, Director Lang's choice makes sense. Look at the suffering Coach Cai has endured over the years - who could bear it? Not to mention that Director Lang herself was not spared from the vicious online attacks in the past. Why would anyone take on such a thankless job?
Moreover, Director Lang is not young anymore. Coaching is not like hosting a dinner party; it requires constant attention to training matters. At her age, why should she continue to suffer? What's the point?
To put it bluntly, the current Chinese women's volleyball team is no longer at the same level as before. We must admit that in the world of volleyball, we are no longer the dominant force we once were. In such circumstances, whoever becomes the coach will face criticism.
If we really want to see the women's volleyball team rise again, simply changing coaches won't do. Those keyboard warriors who spend their days attacking others online should also reflect on their actions. With all your online bickering, who would dare to take on the role of coach?
Honestly, when I saw these messages, I thought about how, over the years, our sports environment has actually deteriorated. These online trolls, who only know how to insult others - why don't you step up and show us what you've got?
Alas, it's all tears when you think about it. If our women's volleyball team wants to return to its peak, simply changing coaches won't be enough; we need to solve the problems at their root. In my opinion, we should first deal with these trolls and allow the coaches to lead the team with peace of mind - that's the real task at hand!
