"Zhang Jike's birthday was cold, Liu Guoliang generously helped, and his future destination became a mystery"
Zhang Jike, who became famous at a young age, became the first player in the history of table tennis to win the World Cup, the World Championships and the Olympic Games at the same time with his unique talent and unremitting efforts.
However, just when we thought that Zhang Jike would continue to write a brilliant chapter, he fell into the whirlpool of ** because of a card playing incident and a dispute with creditors, and his image suffered a serious blow. Sponsors have terminated their contracts, negative reports on ** are endless, and Zhang Jike's former aura seems to have dimmed in an instant.
But Zhang Jike did not sink, on the contrary, he faced the predicament with tenacious will and brave attitude and chose to change. By the time he was 36 years old, he had already found a new job as a coach in a grassroots stadium. This transformation was not easy for an athlete who once stood on top of the world, but he chose to face it bravely and found new value and happiness in life.
Compared with the previous lively birthdays, Zhang Jike's 36th birthday is unusually low-key. Without the congratulations of the stars and the lively party, he felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction. In the stadium, he spent this special day with the young players, these children are the future of Chinese table tennis, and Zhang Jike is willing to pass on his experience and skills to them to help them grow.
For Zhang Jike's future, people are full of expectations and concerns. According to reports, Liu Guoliang saw Zhang Jike's current situation and intended to lend a helping hand to help him regain his direction. Zhang Jike's talent and experience are invaluable to Chinese table tennis, and if he can return to the national team as a coach, he will definitely bring new vitality and hope to the team.
However, there are three speculations about where Zhang Jike's future will go: he may continue to stay at the grassroots level as a youth coach and contribute to the cultivation of more outstanding young players; They may also accept invitations from the association to become coaches and contribute to the popularization of table tennis; Or return to the national team and do your part for the national team. No matter which path he chooses in the end, we hope that he can find his own direction and continue to contribute to the cause of Chinese table tennis.
