Big upset! Wang Manyu's 3 consecutive wins were abandoned, Wang Yidi played 0 3, and Liu Guoliang was ruthless!
Beijing, Feb. 21 – The Chinese table tennis team will have a crucial qualifying round today, which is a very crucial competition. The first opponent of the Chinese women's team, Thailand, will be their fierce rivals.
Before the game, there was a question for the national team instructors to clarify: are there any rules they still need to follow in the group stage, especially against the Thai women's team in the first round? If you want to win the championship, Wang Manyu will replace Wang Yidi as an inevitable thing.
Sun Yingsha's position is basically stable, while Chen Meng has not lost three consecutive matches, and she is also a world No. 3 player, she has not lost in her previous three fights, and she must have an experienced player to take charge, so she will definitely be able to get one. So, the final focus is Wang Yidi or Wang Manyu, whether it is the top three or the top three, after all, in the group stage, the participating teams are just to get a higher ranking, and both players want to compete for a place.
As mentioned earlier, in international competitions, everything is decided based on international rankings. Three players on the team will qualify for one team event. But now, the coaching team can make an exception, Liu Guoliang decided to let Wang Manyu replace Wang Yidi.
In the group stage of the national team, the three games are all three winners, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, of which Sun Yingsha lost 3-1, Wang Manyu 3-0, from the perspective of actual combat, China's international competition, the most powerful combination is Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng. So in this final, Thailand's coaches can't rely on Wang Yidi's results, after all, she has lost hope of winning the championship.
Previously, she did not perform very well in foreign competitions, being defeated by Ni Xialian, defeated by Hina Hayata, defeated by Miu Hirano, defeated by Miu Kihara, and now defeated by an Indian athlete, also lost 3-0. This time the foreign competition is really very unreliable, especially against Japan and South Korea, Wang Yidi's performance is really difficult to reassure.
The quarterfinals are likely to be South Korea, and in such a big event, Wang Yidi can't relax. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, they should change their tactics as soon as possible so that they can adapt to the game faster. But in the end, before the game, Liu Guoliang and the coaches of the national team made a decision to strictly abide by the rules and let Wang Yidi replace Wang Manyu on the field. Although Wang Yidi was eliminated 0-3, Wang Manyu was still selected in accordance with the rules of the game after three consecutive wins. Among the other two players, there is only Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng.
