Wu Sheng, the coach of the Chinese men's volleyball team, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency that this time participating in the World Men's Volleyball League has enhanced the confidence of players and coaches, and also allowed everyone to see the team's potential. Next, prepare for the World Championships, the team will continue to work hard.

The Chinese team ended the journey of this World League with a 3 wins and 9 losses. When the reporter asked Wu Sheng to score the team's performance, his reply was "passing". Before the expedition, the team had two goals, one was to improve the world ranking, and the other was to relegate. As a result, the world ranking of the Chinese men's volleyball team rose from 23rd to 19th and successfully relegated. Both tasks were completed.

In the 12 games, the Chinese men's Rites Brazil is the biggest highlight. In Wu Sheng's view, the Chinese team also has some opportunities for the Argentine, Japan and Iranian teams. It is a pity that the first game of the Polish team has always been ahead, but later I ca n’t help but take it down. However, because the team has not participated in international competitions for a long time, most of the players participated in the World Men's Volleyball League for the first time. better".

Wu Sheng admits that before the first stop, what kind of performance he would have to do with the team was bottomless. After playing 12 goals, the confidence of the players and the coaching team has been improved, and the team's goal of impacting the Paris Olympic Games coupon has not changed.

"We still want to do everything possible to impact the Paris Olympic Games (qualifications). From this competition, our upper limit is very high, but the lower limit is relatively low, and the performance is not stable enough. This needs to be improved."

The confrontation with the world's strong team also made the Chinese men's volleyball team see the gap, especially in terms of serve and a pass.

"Compared with the European men's volleyball team, compared with the world strong team, the gap is still relatively large. The gap between the hair connection is large, the defensive counterattack has gaps, and the ability to take the initiative to take the score also needs to be improved." Wu Sheng said, "The receiver is very large Some factors are technically technically in mentality. Like the Polish team, six people are jumping, with high strength, fast speed, and high stability, causing the players who receive the ball. Improve through training and competition. "

In terms of serve, Wu Sheng believes that the Chinese team's jumping ball needs to strengthen offensiveness and accuracy, and to highlight the speed and strength of playing the ball. Some of the Polish team's serve reached 120 kilometers per hour, and the Chinese team's strong jumper had to reach at least 110 kilometers per hour, otherwise it would be difficult to score.

In general, participating in the World Men's Volleyball League is very helpful for the Chinese team to prepare for the World Championships.

Wu Sheng said: "We have a preliminary understanding of the World Men's Volleyball Team. Last year, we played the Asian competition and played the World League this year. Asian teams play, the intensity of the game, the height of the opponent, and the ability to control the team are not the same. For example, our block training must change. In Asia, we are high in height, the net is fast, and the force is forced when jumping off. Not enough, we have lacking the Internet in Europe and the United States (team), we must change. "

Wu Sheng once said that the overall conditions of the Chinese team's team members are good. After confrontation with European and American teams, he feels that the physical fitness of the players is still different from the world strong team, and the bouncing ability and strength need to be improved.

Previously, due to the epidemic and other reasons, several national players in the Shanghai team failed to participate in the World Men's Volleyball League with the team, which had a certain impact on the depth of the Chinese team's bench. After the World Men's Volleyball League, the Shanghai team's Dai Qingyao, Zhang Zhejia, Qu Zongshuai and Wang Bin of Zhejiang team will meet with the team to prepare for the World Championships together.

"Now our offensive is concentrated in No. 4 and a secondary attack. The 2nd position is because Jiangchuan is not lacking. In the next stage, we have adjusted 4 players. Like Dai Qingyao, we can respond. Use him to change the response. "

After the war of the World Men's Volleyball League, the Chinese team will conduct about 20 days of training in Serbia. According to the plan, the Chinese team will then participate in the Asian Cup and return to Serbia for the final sprint for the World Championships in Poland and Slovenia from August 26 to September 11.
