On December 13, the national table tennis team has gathered in Lingshui, Hainan and entered winter training time. The rumors about the "breakup" between model masters and apprentices of Xiao Zhan and Wang Manyu, , came true after the mentor posted the article. The gold medal coach Xiao Zhan led the team and Olympic champion Wang Manyu parted ways.

On days without competition, this is considered big news in the domestic table tennis world. Wang Manyu and Xiao Zhan, named master and apprentice, are like father and daughter. Director Xiao treats Wang Manyu like his daughter. To give a simple example, on the training ground, she serves as a sparring coach for Manyu. Manyu is injured. He plays the role of a "team doctor". Manyu returns to Beijing late at night, and he wears slippers to pick up the plane...
These beautiful scenes can only be left in memory. Because from now on, Director Xiao and Wang Manyu went their own way. Regarding the "breakup", Director Xiao said: " Manyu has grown up, and we have achieved many unforgettable results together, but Manyu's maturity and career has reached a new stage. My coaching style, especially the high-intensity training style, is not suitable for Wang Manyu at this stage."

The coach's statement about parting ways is that his style is not suitable for him. At the same time, he also said that out of consideration for Manyu's long-term development, after many discussions, he no longer served as her head coach.
It seems that the departure of Director Xiao from Manyu was a consensus of the master and apprentice. It was agreed upon and it was normal to go its separate ways. Then what did Wang Manyu say?
After Xiao Zhi posted the article, Wang Manyu commented. She said: "Harm 5, the changes in body and state, have caused us to fail to reach a consensus on training methods, coaching concepts and future development, but separation will not affect our relationship ."

Monou's statement is roughly the same as the teacher's words. Because of the growth and changes of disciples, the master's philosophy and methods are no longer suitable for the needs of disciples' growth. In other words, the concept of this master and apprentice is no longer on the same channel. If you continue to partner, it will be difficult to "resonate at the same frequency".
Xiaoyan thinks that separation between Manyu and his mentor may not be a bad thing. Xiao Guidance's devilish training method is very effective for young players. However, as the athlete committee member grows, it will cause injuries and illness, and training like this may backfire.

So, just separate it! However, the coaching team should consider more about Manyu and should not be "free-range" in a state of "soldier growth". Otherwise, it will be too unfavorable for the athlete's growth.
wishes the model master and apprentice Xiao Guidance and Wang Manyu, everything goes well in the future!
