As the year comes to an end, there is still no sign of the head coach for the Chinese women's volleyball team. However, the usually low-key female head rarely goes out, and no one knows what she is thinking. Even the fans are complaining that when Tianjin women's volleyball team played against the Konegliano club women's volleyball team, the little yellow man cheered for Konegliano but not for Tianjin women's volleyball team. However, people have a bigger question: why didn't our director of the Volleyball Management Center come out to cheer for Tianjin women's volleyball team? After all, Tianjin women's volleyball team also grew under her command in Chongqing?
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to speculate on who the next head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team will be. However, guessing at their thoughts and observing trends can give us a general direction.
Currently, the most popular choice among fans is Chen Fang, the assistant and interim head coach of Tianjin women's volleyball team. However, Chen Fang's qualifications are too shallow. Not only has he not received recognition from outside the Tianjin women's volleyball club, but even within the club, although his performance is undeniable, he has not been promoted to a permanent position after so long, and is still an interim head coach. Do you think such a Chen Fang would be appointed as the national team head coach by the Volleyball Management Center?
If the support of the club is needed, will Tianjin women's volleyball club support its interim head coach?
Another option that many people are calling for is the return of Lang Ping. This is indeed the highest choice. If Lang Ping returns and starts to cultivate new players (with four years in the Olympic cycle, there is now plenty of time and space), then she could provide opportunities for at least ten years. However, there are two issues that cannot be resolved:
One is whether Director Lai has the foresight to use her old leader as the head coach, and what if she cannot control the situation or simply does not have the ability to take on this role?
It should be said that last year, the two worked well together on Zhang Changning's return, but this year, with the "various difficulties" regarding Zhu Ting's return, it is obvious that someone did not try hard or simply did not care. So this approach itself is worrying in terms of intelligence,
Another concern is her heartache, as she has been criticized for several years due to the unexpected failure at the Tokyo Olympics. Moreover, her daughter Zhu Ting, being a rural girl without any backing, is still being criticized.
You can say that Lang Ping is still haunted by this incident, so even if she were offered the position of head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team now, she would not dare to take it, and there would be many other concerns.
Another consensus candidate is Chen Zhonghe, but after being hit by that old man, he probably doesn't want to get involved in this mess. Without any connections, how dare he take on this delicate task? You say that a coach who won the silver medal at the Olympics would be removed from office, while a coach who finished fifth would be commended. Where do we go to reason?
So at the age of over sixty, where would Chen Zhonghe still be unclear?
There may also be people recommending Kuang Qi, who has indeed achieved good results in coaching U20 and U21 teams in the past two years. However, those are just youth teams, and the world of adult teams is probably something he himself doesn't fully understand.
If a dx and a zcn stand in front of him and talk nonsense, this honest Shandong man will probably be confused, so let's save ourselves the trouble!
In the end, only Cai Bin fits the bill, with his background, relationships, and friendship with Director Lai as an assistant. Although he has not achieved great results, he has received commendations. This is the key point because working with such a person means not having to worry about criticism from leaders, and regardless of performance, there are always commendations. With all these considerations, what else do you have to worry about?
Therefore, it is highly likely that the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team during the Los Angeles Olympic cycle will still be Cai Bin. Let's wait and see!
