In the stroke of the award ceremony, does Liu Guoliang have a deep meaning for Wang Manyu?
I think you will not forget that after the women's team final of the Busan Table Tennis Championships, Liu Guoliang presented medals to Ma Lin and other competitors at the award ceremony!
Liu Guoliang walked towards Ma Lin first and hugged Ma Lin, the expression on Ma Lin's face was very complicated, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Then, Liu Guoliang walked up to Sun Yingsha, hugged her, gently stroked his cheek, and Sun Yingsha patted Liu Guoliang's back gently.
Then, Liu Guoliang and Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong hugged each other, and Liu Guoliang and Wang Manyu had a final hug.
At this time, Liu Guoliang gently touched Wang Manyu and put his hand on Wang Manyu's cheek, does Liu Guoliang's move have another meaning? What are Liu Guoliang's plans?
Perhaps at this time, Liu Guoliang will deeply realize that in the future World Series, who can use it and who can't.
In fact, Wang Manyu played very steadily at the beginning, obviously Wang Manyu is stronger than Wang Yidi!
Especially in the game against Japan, Wang Manyu's condition is better than Wang Yidi.
Before participating in the World Championships in Busan, Wang Yidi lost to Japanese players in all competitions, including last year's World Championships in Durban and the Asian Games in Hangzhou!
And in the Grand Slam final in Singapore, she also lost at the hands of Miu Hirano! The Singapore Grand Slam can score up to 2,000 points, which is the same result as the Olympiad!
If it were the former Chinese women's volleyball team, if it was beaten by the Japanese at this level of competition, it would basically be impossible to win the world championship!
For example, Zhu Yuling, such as Liu Shiwen.
Zhu Yuling lost to Misei Ito in both the Swedish Open in 2018 and the two matches in 2019, and became more and more marginalized!
Zhu Yuling was once Li Falcon's apprentice and was regarded as a future leader.
However, Zhu Yuling was defeated in the end after defeating Ito's godmother in a row!
Liu Shiwen won the women's singles championship at the 2019 World Championships in Budapest again!
However, because Liu Shiwen was defeated twice by Ito Kanun at the Tokyo Olympics, coupled with her own injury, Liu Shiwen and Liu Shiwen participated in the Olympic singles qualifying tournament together!
Zhu Yuling and Liu Shiwen were defeated at the hands of Misei Ito, it was not an important international event at all, but a very normal game!
Wang Yidi, for example, is an example. Although he is no match for the Japanese at the World Series, Asian Games, or Grand Slam, he has won many championships!
In this regard, Liu Guoliang and Ma Lin really have to think about it!
And Wang Manyu's performance is also obvious to all!
It can be said that Wang Manyu is the first athlete to make a breakthrough in the Olympic Games at the Paris Olympics.
Wang Manyu defeated Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha successively and won the 2021 National Championships and World Championships singles championships.
In fact, Wang Manyu has already won the Macau Championship, Pyeongchang Championship, and Taiyuan Challenge in the 2023 season, which is her third place after Sun Yingsha!
At the Eintracht Frankfurt Open, she played a women's singles semi-final match against Hina Hayata.
After defeating Hina Hayata, Wang Manyu won the championship for the Chinese women's volleyball team in advance!
But in the last World Championships and finals, Wang Manyu lost to Chen Xingtong, which also made Wang Manyu lose two games, so Wang Manyu only won the fourth place now!
However, Wang Manyu is now ranked 4th in the world, which does not mean that Wang Manyu is 4th!
It can be said that the current Wang Manyu is not inferior to Chen Meng and Wang Yidi!
Recall that Wang Manyu defeated Chen Meng twice, Macau Championships, Pyeongchang Asian Championships, Taiyuan Challenge, Wang Yidi!
Besides, in terms of appearance alone, Wang Manyu is much more powerful than Wang Yidi!
I think Liu Guoliang must have known it after the women's team competition at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan!
Therefore, at the award ceremony, he stroked Wang Manyu's cheek with his hand to express his comfort. Perhaps at this moment, Liu Guoliang already has the answer in his heart, who can use it and who can't use it for the Paris Olympics!
