Insufficient use of players Wang Yidi's ability was questioned, and Ma Lin's employment attracted attention
How to evaluate Marlene's method? Although the women's team won the Busan Women's Team Table Tennis Championship as they wished, there have been debates and doubts about the selection of the women's coach Ma Lin. Especially when everyone is doubting whether Wang Manyu will play and whether Wang Yidi will play, more people will choose Wang Manyu. This is not only because of the fame of the two players, but also because of the ability of the two players, because in the group stage, Wang Manyu won three consecutive victories and saved a losing streak for the national table tennis women. She was the favourite, but in the knockout round, she was eliminated.
In contrast, Wang Yidi's performance is more average, her mood has always been low, which also makes Wang Yidi the biggest loser of Chinese women's history, losing 0-3 to Indian athletes in the first round, and no one thought she would win in the second round, and in the last round, she met Japan's Miu Hirano, which is also the biggest loser of Chinese women.
This is really a 0-3 loss, which is too miserable, and the national table tennis team is beaten 2-1. As a result, the national table tennis team fell behind 1:2, but fortunately, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng came on the court one after another, and finally reversed the disadvantage and won the final victory, which alleviated the negative impact of Wang Yidi's loss, but the doubt about Wang Yidi's strength also rose to the top, and even extended to the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin.
The relationship between Ma Lin and the national table tennis team, because the two have a master-apprentice relationship, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi and other close people have always attached great importance to it. The promotion of former Olympic gold medalist Chen Meng is justified, but Wang Yidi, who has never won a gold medal in a major competition, has been controversial in his career.
The Paris Olympics are just around the corner. Marin, on the other hand, is even more controversial, and he has been working hard to protect his apprentices in order to give them a chance to compete. In his career, if his students can win Olympiads or other major championships, his coaching resume will be even richer. Ma Lin's reasoning was correct, but he ignored Wang Yidi's strength, which was due to his lack of obvious shortcomings.
Wang Yidi's insistence on using it broke the good situation of the women's volleyball team, which made Wang Manyu even more excited, because she was a former Olympic athlete, and also won the collective gold medal of the Olympic Games. Marlene used this tactic unjustly.
Wang Manyu seems helpless, because she not only has to follow the rules of the coaches, but also feels confused about her future career prospects. In the case of the Paris Olympics, for example, its current ranking has already determined that it will not be able to make it to the big stage of the Olympic Games.
