On January 1st, Beijing time, a video of Wang Manyu confronting Sun Yingsha during the women's team final of the Ping Pong Super League has been exposed. The two national team teammates engaged in an intense dispute, raising the question of who is actually the head coach of Shenzhen University.
In the women's team final between Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University, Luneng narrowly won the championship with a 3-2 victory. However, compared to the process of the final, there was a particular moment that sparked attention and discussion. This occurred during the fourth set of the fifth match between Wang Manyu and Tan Yuexuan, when the score was tied at 1:1, resulting in a significant controversial rally.
Wang Manyu's return shot hit the net and bounced back, which Tan Yuexuan managed to return. At this point, Wang Manyu raised her hand to signal a pause in the game, believing that Tan Yuexuan's return had double-bounced, and thus should have been awarded a point to her. However, Tan Yuexuan did not agree, leading to a dispute. The referee initially ruled in favor of Shandong Luneng, awarding them the point.
Sun Yingsha then led her team to argue their case, as they were already in the fifth match of the final, where every point was crucial. The score was clearly 1:1, but the referee's decision gave Wang Manyu an additional point, making it 2:1. Naturally, Sun Yingsha was not pleased and immediately pointed to the big screen above, requesting a replay review. Both sides began to engage in intense debate.
At this moment, Wang Manyu walked to the sideline and approached Sun Yingsha, continuing the argument. The two national team teammates, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, began a very intense discussion about the ball. Sun Yingsha even continued to make gestures and raise her hand to signal, while Wang Manyu kept talking to her.
This scene is quite rare to witness. For the sake of one point, the two of them started an intense discussion on the sideline. After some discussion and various gestures from Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu finally said a few words. Sun Yingsha didn't say anything more, simply nodded her head, and waved her right hand forward, indicating that it was okay for Wang Manyu to go back.
Such a scene is indeed very rare and somewhat exaggerated. No one expected to see such a dispute between Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha on the Ping Pong Super League finals court. They discussed for a long time over just one point, and the referee's final decision was to replay the point, which was surprising.
Of course, it is believed that this incident will only occur on the court and should not affect the relationship between the two. What's most interesting is that Wang Manyu specifically came to argue with Sun Yingsha, instead of finding the coach of Shenzhen University. The coach of Shenzhen University is not Sun Yingsha, nor is the referee Sun Yingsha, yet Wang Manyu specifically came to talk to her.
