In the just-passed WTT championship game, the Chinese men's table tennis team sent Ma Long , Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin , and Lin Gaoyuan 4 major players to participate, but they still failed to win the final men's singles championship. What was most shocking was that the world champions of the four national table tennis team all experienced rare foreign battle failures, which almost did not appear in the past international competitions. However, at this time, the men's team leader Liu Guozheng officially left the national team and became a teacher at Tsinghua University. The current situation of the men's team was that they lacked high-level coaches. Liu Guozheng's resignation left the Chinese men's team coaching team with one more business backbone.
Liu Guozheng became famous during the Sydney Olympic cycle. He defeated Swedish veteran Karlson as the third single in the men's team final of the 2000 Kuala Lumpur World Table Tennis Championships. The subsequent Sydney Olympics undraft also beat Wang Liqin and Marlin2 big rivals, and went to the Sydney Olympics with the third main force again. Unfortunately, the men's singles quarter-finals were defeated by Swedish world champion Person missed the semi-finals, but the next two In the semi-finals of the men's team in 2001, Liu Guozheng defeated South Korea's Wu Shangyin and Kim Sawa-soo as the second main player. In particular, he became a classic of the century when he fought with Kim Sawa-soo, saving the match point and saving the Chinese men's team's life. Although Liu Guozheng was both the main players in Athens and Beijing Olympics, he has never been able to reach the semi-finals of the World Championships and the Olympics. With his serious injury to the fibula during training, he was eventually reimbursed for his career. After retiring, he stayed in the team to coach and slowly took up the position of the national team coaching team leader.
Liu Guozheng just joined the first team, in charge of three players, namely Wang Chuqin, Zhou Qihao and Xu Chenhao . Wang Chuqin only made rapid progress after Liu Guozheng took over. The major opens in 2019 suddenly rushed out and became the main force of the Chinese men's team in men's singles and men's doubles. Wang Chuqin and Ma Long also won the men's doubles championship in the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championship that year. However, Wang Chuqin was young and energetic. He angrily threw the racket for losing to his teammate Zhao Zihao at the 2019 Austrian Open. He was eventually suspended by the coaching staff. Liu Guozheng, as the coach in charge, was also punished accordingly. Another player in charge of Liu Guozheng, Zhou Qihao, is also the quasi-main force before the Tokyo Olympics. He won the men's singles championship in the Tokyo Olympic Warm-up match, defeating Fan Zhendong and Malone, the top two teammates in the world. He naturally participated in the men's singles competition of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships. Unfortunately, he was defeated by German world champion Boer in the second round. However, the progress of Wang Chuqin and Zhou Qihao is inseparable from the careful guidance of coach Liu Guozheng.
Liu Guozheng is not the first coach to leave within a year. The current Chinese men's team has more players and fewer coaches. The Chinese men's team lost the championship in the Hungary championship game, which has a certain relationship with fewer coaches and cannot cover everything in training. Malone lost to Francesca and missed the quarterfinals, Wang Chuqin lost to Carlsong to stop in the first round, Liang Jingkun missed 3 match points and lost to Zhuang Zhiyuan , Lin Gaoyuan suffered Zhang Benzhi and reversed and lost the championship. The four major losers in foreign battles put the Chinese men's team at the forefront. Former world champions such as Liu Guozheng, Guo Yan , Chen Yan resigned from the national team coaching position, which may be related to the great pressure. If you want to return to normal in the future, you still have to promote a group of capable coaches in terms of coaching candidates.
