The article discusses the recent developments in the Chinese Super League (CSL) involving the Shandong Taishan Football Club and its coach, Choi Kang-hee. The team suffered a 0-6 defeat, leading to the implementation of military-style management under Choi's leadership. Two veteran players, Ji Xiang and Song Long, were reportedly forced to leave the team after being barred from training and gym facilities. Additionally, there was mention of a motorcycle being sent away without significant conflict. The article reflects on the complex relationships within the CSL, where experienced players often remain until their mid-thirties without much turnover. Younger players between the ages of 12 and 18 struggle to find opportunities to rise through the ranks or play in matches. The author suggests that only by implementing new policies to reduce the number of foreign players can these issues be resolved. There is also discussion about the physical toll on the team, with injuries plaguing the squad since the beginning of the year. The author expresses frustration with the situation, referring to Choi as a "master manipulator among manipulators." The article questions the contract situation between Choi and the club, suggesting that unless certain conditions are met, it would be difficult to terminate the contract early. There is speculation about Choi's potential return if the team performs well in upcoming matches. The author also compares Choi's training methods to those of another coach, Magath, who did not experience widespread injuries despite intense training. There is criticism of the current training approach, which some believe is outdated and has led to numerous injuries.…

The coaching market in the CBA league has been thrown into turmoil as six teams have collectively changed their head coaches, resulting in a major shake-up that has left fans stunned, as if the entire league has transformed overnight. Beijing Shougang, Xinjiang, Shandong, Shanxi, Jilin, and Shenzhen all seem to have agreed to replace their respective head coaches in unison. This coaching carousel is quite lively, making one wonder if they are dissatisfied with their own coaches or if they think the grass is always greener on the other side? Xinjiang men's basketball team's move is truly earth-shattering. Last season, Qiu Biao led the team to the finals and even won the Best Coach award, only to be abruptly let go. This move seems to suggest that they are not satisfied with their own shiny trophy and prefer to pick up discarded scraps from others. Even more astonishing is that Xinjiang has chosen a "rookie" Liu Wei to take over. Coach Liu's coaching experience may not even match the time we spend watching games. Is Xinjiang trying to pull off a "rookie miracle," or do they feel that the other teams in the league are too strong and want to add some difficulty for themselves? Shandong, on the other hand, has picked up Qiu Biao, who was let go by Xinjiang. However, this Qiu coach must be cautious, as Shandong was in complete disarray last season. Bringing this team back on track may be harder than scaling the heavens. We hope that Coach Qiu possesses the skill of turning an…

CBA Three Major News: Beikong Adjusts Coaches, Yu Dehao Out for the Season with Serious Injury, Zhejiang Men's Basketball Penalized Beijing time January 20th, CBA this season has passed the halfway point. Compared to last season, the CBA pattern has changed greatly. Shandong men's basketball and Shanxi men's basketball have become dark horses, ranking second and third in the standings respectively. However, looking back at the two Beijing teams that invested heavily in the offseason, Shougang and Beikong, their results are not optimistic, especially Beikong men's basketball. During the offseason, they recruited soldiers and horses, introduced Salinger and Shen Zijie, and also signed Zhu Songwei. It was originally thought that there would be a place for Beikong in the finals. However, from the beginning of the season until now, Beikong men's basketball team's performance has been poor, and even suffered consecutive defeats, which also made the head coach Min Lulei controversial, especially in terms of personnel, many fans think that he is rigid in using people and poor in on-site adaptability, so there was once a call for him to step down. So will Min Lulei step down because of this? The answer is no for the time being. Why is this? In the previous season, Min Lulei had achieved satisfactory results for Beikong's high-level management. Although his current coaching record is not good, Beikong is still willing to give him some more time. Although Min Lulei will not step down, in order to improve the team's performance, Beikong men's basketball team recently adjusted the coaches and signed a foreign…

The Japan Table Tennis Association officially announced a change in leadership, and the new head coach of the women's team is actually a Chinese coach - Zhong Ze Rui! This news not only sparked heated discussions within Japan but also instantly made Chinese fans nervous.

Zhong Ze Rui, originally named Wang Rui, was once a table tennis player for the Hebei Provincial Team in China and was part of the same batch as Ma Lin. At the age of 24, he chose to retire and went to Japan for development, subsequently joining Japanese nationality and changing his name to Zhong Ze Rui. With his profound understanding of table tennis and outstanding coaching ability, he gradually rose to prominence in the Japanese table tennis world and cultivated excellent players such as Hirano Miu and Kihara Miyu.

Sun Yingsha's 46-year-old senior brother appointed as head coach of Japanese women's table tennis team, vows to win Olympic gold, claiming strength is close to Chinese team On January 19th, the Japan Table Tennis Association held a press conference in Tokyo, officially announcing the new head coaches for the men's and women's teams. The new male team coach is 37-year-old Kishikawa Kento, while the new female team coach is 46-year-old Nakazawa Toshio. It is worth noting that Nakazawa Toshio and Sun Yingsha are from the same school, both having played for the Hebei Provincial Table Tennis Team under the tutelage of famous table tennis coach Yang Guangdi. Nakazawa was teammates with Ma Lin, and Sun Yingsha is his junior sister from the same school. In other words, Sun Yingsha's senior brother has become the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, which has sparked heated discussions among netizens! After becoming the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, Nakazawa Toshio showed great ambition at the press conference, vowing to win the Olympic gold medal and frankly stating that their strength is close to that of the Chinese team.

"It is a pity that Ito Mima was not selected for the Paris Olympics, and we won't be able to see her compete against Sun Yingsha. The Japanese team has chosen Zhang Benmei in hopes that she can defeat the Chinese team and help win the gold medal." The Japanese table tennis team, a formidable opponent of the national team, has announced their roster for the Paris Olympics. Notably, they have chosen 15-year-old Zhang Benmei as the third member of the women's team, which is a bold decision. What reasons led the Japanese team to choose Zhang Benmei over Ito Mima, a two-time Olympian and the only current Olympic champion on the Japanese team? Japanese women's team head coach Watanabe Takehiro provided an answer, with one key point being Zhang Benmei's victories over Sun Yingsha in women's doubles and mixed doubles events. As Watanabe said, "During the selection process, he was very troubled because Ito Mima is an Olympic gold medalist and an excellent player. However, considering her performance last year, Zhang Benmei has been more outstanding." Watanabe further explained, "At last year's Asian Games, Zhang Benmei teamed up with Kihara Miyuu to defeat the former world champions (Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu). At the end of last year's Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup, she partnered with Tohsho Aruga to defeat the world number one (Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin), achieving remarkable results." From Japan's choice of Zhang Benmei, it seems they are betting on her performance in the women's doubles at the Olympics. Watanabe stated that his focus in choosing the third member…

As one of the founders of China's "Golden Generation" of women's volleyball, Chen Zhonghe has earned his place in the story of Chinese women's volleyball. Not only is he a coach, but he has also witnessed this chapter in history. However, his journey has been filled with challenges both in his career and family life. Fortunately, those days are behind him now. He has achieved great success and retired with his wife by his side. Occasionally, fans still reminisce about him and the era he represented. Young Chen Zhonghe started as an assistant trainer for the women's volleyball team. Eager to make a mark in the field of volleyball, he seized the opportunity without hesitation and applied to join the national team. This was a relatively low-key role, but Chen Zhonghe did not let that discourage him. Instead, he absorbed experience like a sponge from every training session. Despite his small stature and lack of strength, he knew he could not rely solely on talent and had to compensate through more rigorous training. He took his training seriously, meticulously studying volleyball techniques and tactics. Among the tall and powerful figures of the female volleyball players, Chen Zhonghe's presence seemed insignificant, like an inconspicuous little character. However, his indomitable spirit won him respect and trust among the team members, gradually elevating his status within the team. His career was not without its ups and downs. Starting late, many doubted his transition from assistant trainer to formal coach, questioning whether he had the capability to take on such a heavy responsibility. In…

Recently, Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA), announced an important decision, marking a significant change in the coaching staff of the national table tennis team (NTT). This decision not only affects the future direction of NTT but also has a profound impact on the global table tennis landscape. PART01 Li Sun, the current head coach of NTT, is about to end his coaching career. This meritorious coach has made tremendous contributions to China's table tennis. Under Li Sun's leadership, the women's team has maintained an astonishing championship rate of 92.3% over the past eight years. With the increase in age and the rise of new generation players, finding a suitable successor has become urgent. Currently, the top contenders for the replacement are mainly focused on three coaches: Wang Hao, Ma Lin, and Xiao Zhan. All three are excellent coaches cultivated within NTT, each with their own strengths. Wang Hao: As the head coach of the men's team, Wang Hao has achieved remarkable results in nurturing newcomers. Under his guidance, young players like Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have quickly grown and shown strong potential. Wang Hao's coaching style emphasizes tactical innovation. At the 2022 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team defeated the German team with a decisive score of 3:0, fully demonstrating his coaching ability. Ma Lin: During his tenure as the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin demonstrated outstanding management skills. Under his leadership, new generation female players such as Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha rapidly emerged, achieving generational…

This week in the CBA has been quite lively! After thirty-one rounds of matches, the standings have undergone a major shake-up, with many teams experiencing significant changes in their rankings. Guess who will come out on top? Zhejiang Guangsha is really fierce! With an eight-game winning streak, they firmly occupy the top spot. Led by Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and Zhao Yanhao, they've played their opponents into submission. Shanxi Men's Basketball isn't far behind, advancing steadily and emerging as a dark horse. Shandong Men's Basketball has also performed well, maintaining a solid position in third place. Qingdao Men's Basketball and Liaoning Men's Basketball have both shown their strength, with Qingdao rising to fourth and Liaoning holding steady at fifth. Speaking of which, the CBA's scoring system is quite different from the NBA's. The NBA focuses on win rates, while the CBA looks at points, awarding two for a win and one for a loss. This can be somewhat unfair for teams that have played fewer games, don't you think? So, while the rankings may seem exciting, they're actually quite unpredictable. Guangdong Men's Basketball and Beijing Shougang, these two veteran powerhouses, have seen a slight dip in their rankings. Despite Guangdong's seven-game winning streak, they haven't managed to pull away in terms of points and have actually dropped in the standings. It's truly a case of "what goes around comes around." Beijing Shougang lost the Beijing derby and their ranking followed suit. There must be various reasons for this, but as ordinary fans, we can't fully understand them. We can only…
