"Looking back suddenly, I'm grateful for the 30 years of training of the national team, which has trained me from a 13-year-old child to a Grand Slam, head coach, and then to the chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Thank you for the coaches and athletes who have worked with me to compete in the international arena for so many years. It is the glory you have achieved in your hard work that has created you today. What moved is the support of hundreds of millions of Chinese people and fans. The support of so many years has led to the new glory of today's national table tennis. Don't win madly, don't lose, accompany the national table tennis team, and fight against Tokyo."
Yesterday (December 1) at 6:30 pm, the new chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association Liu Guoliang expressed such feelings on Weibo.
2018 entered the first day of the last month, and Liu Guoliang was officially elected as the new chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.
Xiaorui's friends and colleagues from the sports group of the Reference News New Media Center sent back the important report at the meeting site of the Temple of Heaven Hotel in Beijing yesterday.
, here is an interview with Chairman Liu Guoliang to the media, including reference information.
When interviewed by reference news, Chairman Liu Guoliang also mentioned the issue of Chinese table tennis right to speak in the ITTF.
This is obviously one of the serious situations facing Chinese table tennis. In the past year or so, the performance of the Chinese table tennis team has not looked so ideal. The Chinese team has almost become a "victim" every time the ITTF revised the rules of the competition.
Professional people do professional things.
Malaysia Nanyang Business Daily mentioned that "Liu Guoliang is another player and coaching example of becoming a president." Before this, the Chinese basketball giant Yao Ming took over the Chinese Basketball Association, Wang Haibin took charge of the Chinese Fencing Association, Li Yan took charge of the Chinese Ice Skating Association president and other positions were similar.
With the news of Liu Guoliang's new arrival, Chinese social networks have been in full swing all day.
. Overseas, some people have long been panicked.
" A terrible man is back! " When Liu Guoliang "returned" at the end of September this year, he was the head of the preparatory work group for the ninth committee of the Table Tennis Association, Japan's "Table Tennis Kingdom" magazine exclaimed in this way. The
article specifically pointed out that for the Japanese team whose goal is to win gold medals on Tokyo Olympics , Liu Guoliang is undoubtedly a "terrible existence".
Now, this "terrible man" has transformed into the head of Chinese table tennis. It is conceivable how those opponents who are determined to defeat the Chinese team and their fans are in a goal.
In fact, at yesterday's meeting, Liu Guoliang also mentioned the threat of the four foreign stars to Chinese table tennis. Among them, the 18-year-old Japanese young player, who defeated Liu Shiwen, , Ding Ning , Zhu Yuling , , , , , , , , Mima Ito , and became the players he focused on.
Japanese media pay attention to Liu Guoliang’s new official taking office.
The "war against Tokyo" mentioned by Liu Guoliang on Weibo at the beginning of this article was also considered by the Japanese media to issue a clarion call for "declaration of war".
"Liu Guoliang's main task is to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics. He may bring Chinese table tennis back to its peak." Japan's AFPBB News Network commented.
Interestingly, Japan, as a powerful table tennis powerhouse, is so nervous. In Taiwan, which was the first to make a joke about "that fat man who doesn't understand football" during the Rio Olympics two years ago, there are still netizens who "can't tell it clearly".
Xiao Rui logged in to the Taiwan PTT forum that "created" this famous quote last night. He saw a netizen leaving a message saying: " is waiting to see the fat man come on stage, what new tricks can he create. "
Then we will wait and see what "tricks" this "fat man who doesn't understand ball" can develop in Tokyo in 2020!
