Liu Guozheng only served as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis men's team in 2017. Now that just one year has passed, it is still too early to evaluate him. However, judging from the current results, Liu Guozheng is still passing. The Chinese table tennis men he led have won gold medals in major competitions. But there are still some problems with his coaching.
First, the Chinese team won gold medals in major competitions. In fact, Liu Guozheng has only had two major competitions since he took office, only the World Table Tennis Championships team competition and the World Cup team competition. Liu Guozheng also lived up to expectations and led the Chinese team to win the gold medal. Although it is reasonable for the Chinese team to win all the gold medals, it is not easy for Liu Guozheng to withstand the pressure during the turbulent period of the national table tennis team.
Second, success can stabilize military morale. After Liu Guoliang resigned as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, the national team was in turmoil. Many athletes and coaches of the Chinese team expressed dissatisfaction and even refused to participate in the competition. The Table Tennis Association also dealt with several coaches and players. After that, Liu Guozheng was able to stabilize the morale of the military and return to a harmonious atmosphere within the national team. He should be credited for this.
First, the coaching level is indeed not as good as Liu Guoliang. After Liu Guozheng took office, although the Chinese men's table tennis team was reliable in major competitions, it really lost a lot in ordinary games, especially the consecutive losses to Tomokazu Harimoto. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no longer news for the Chinese men's table tennis team to lose games. Yes, we have indeed lost the dominance we had during the Liu Guoliang period. Liu Guozheng should be responsible as the head coach.
Second, Liu Guozheng has difficulty grasping the players' psychology. When Liu Guoliang was the head coach, he was like a parent to the players. Like a high school teacher, the world champion behaved well in front of him and listened to his words. Healthy competition formed within the national team, and the players' performance became better and better. But Liu Guozheng is different. It is difficult for him to have a close relationship with his teammates. His relationship with leaders and colleagues is always separated by a layer. This is indeed not conducive to the team's internal unity.
In general, Liu Guozheng should be a relatively good coach. If you give him time, he should get better and better. I hope he will lead the Chinese team to achieve brilliant results.
How good is Liu Guozheng as a coach? Northern Latitude Pingqiu believes that this issue needs to be discussed from many aspects.
Liu Guozheng was ordered to lead the men's national table tennis team to London during this year's World Cup team competition. In this competition, the national table tennis team is facing huge pressure. If there is a slight mistake, it will not only affect the overall morale of the national table tennis team, but also affect the following World Table Tennis Championships. Therefore, Liu Guozheng sent the three main players Ma Long, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong to play all the games.
At the next World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Guozheng, who was confident, sent Wang Chuqin as the third single in the first national table tennis match. Although Wang Chuqin played very hard, he also successfully completed the task! And this bold arrangement laid a solid foundation for Wang Chuqin's outstanding performance in the Asian Games and Youth Olympic Games this year.
During the Asian Games, all national table tennis players were young players. Five players, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, and Xue Fei, completed their tasks brilliantly and won all the gold medals. If all the gold medals won in the Youth Olympic Games are included, Liu Guozheng has been coaching the National Table Tennis Team for more than half a year, and the National Table Tennis Team has achieved all the gold medals in major competitions. These results are enough to prove Liu Guozheng's coaching level!
From Liu Guozheng's arrangement and transfer of personnel in the three competitions, we can clearly see his ability to control the national table tennis - the World Cup team competition focuses on stability, with the purpose of maintaining the momentum of the national table tennis And hope; World Table Tennis Championships competition, began to boldly train newcomers. Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan both got the opportunity to play, which reflects the national table tennis layout of old and new; the Asian Games completely uses new players, and their thoughts are on the more distant Tokyo Olympics.
Therefore, Liu Guozheng's three-step layout for the three competitions can fully reflect his strategic layout of playing steadily and step by step. Liu Guozheng's coaching level is evident!
In fact, the main responsibility for the loss of the main national table tennis players is not Liu Guozheng’s improper command. The reasons are also caused by many aspects.
1. The national table tennis team entered a period of turmoil in the second half of last year. The leaderless situation greatly damaged the national table tennis team's vitality.
2. The ITTF colluded with the Japan Table Tennis Association and introduced new points rules to give Japanese players an advantage.
3. Liu Guozheng has been in office for less than a year and it is in a special period of national table tennis. There is a lack of communication between athletes and coaches.
4. Liu Guozheng’s position is awkward. He is neither the head coach of the national table tennis team nor the head coach of the national table tennis team.
From the above discussion, we can see that during the period when Liu Guo was leading the national table tennis team, he went from initially retaining the championship to retain morale, to later competing for the championship to train new players, and then to the subsequent challenge. The champion's bold use of new players fully reflects his three-step thinking of seeking stability, development and looking forward to the future during his time in charge of the national table tennis team.
If we recall Liu Guozheng's remarks about Fan Zhendong's need for innovation after the World Table Tennis Championships, we will find that Liu Guozheng has actually found the main problem of national table tennis and has pointed out the direction for them. And more importantly, compared to the female player Mima Ito who has become the biggest opponent of the national table tennis team, the Japanese male player Satoshi Harimoto has been more successful in being suppressed this year.
If Lin Gaoyuan performs normally in the year-end finals, then Tomokazu Harimoto's results are actually not enough to pose a huge threat to the national table tennis team!
Reading, liking, and forwarding my works are the greatest compliments and support for me! I am Beiwei Pingqiu, looking forward to your attention.
Everyone’s requirements are too harsh. Not all table tennis coaches can be as good as Liu Guoliang. After all, there is only one Liu Guoliang in China. Now Liu Guozheng has only been the coach for one year, and his skills have not been fully demonstrated. Is it too early for everyone to rush to comment?
As a coach, you need to have a big picture and wisdom, the courage to make decisions in tense moments of the game, the domineering attitude to face your own players in daily life, and your ability to understand table tennis, and finally The most important thing is to be able to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and strategize to win a thousand miles. Some of the athletes under Liu Guozheng now were still the main players under Liu Guoliang at that time, so some of Liu Guozheng's glory has been overshadowed.
Liu Guozheng’s advantages are also obvious. From when he was an athlete, he withstood the pressure and was called an anti-Korean hero. When the national table tennis was in turmoil, he withstood public opinion and led the national table tennis team to win the team championships in the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup. In the transition from player to coach, I have my own set of guiding concepts, but I just lack an occasion to put them into practice. Of course, everyone sees his shortcomings. It lacks the high IQ and emotional intelligence that a head coach should have, as well as the understanding and familiarity with players, especially psychological issues.
Now that the national table tennis team is in the post-Liu Guoliang era, it is impossible for Liu Guoliang to serve as the coach. It is estimated that he will serve as the chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Although Liu Guozheng has some shortcomings, he is a malleable talent. Although there is a big gap between him and Liu Guoliang, it seems that the only coach who can serve as the head coach of the National Table Tennis Team is Liu Guozheng.
How can you say that? Liu Guozheng also took orders in the face of danger. He didn't do anything wrong. Why should he question others? Liu Guoliang's dismissal had nothing to do with him. Liu Guoliang's return now has nothing to do with him. After Liu Guozheng led the team, he participated in the World Table Tennis Championships. He also led the team to win the championship. He also won the championship in some competitions such as the World Cup. When the Chinese team was in the most chaos, when Qin Zhijian dismissed get out of class and Wu Jingping became the head of the coaching staff, Liu Guozheng did not make the situation worse after taking the leadership. Many people say that Liu Guozheng does not have domineering power. If you think about someone who can save seven match points, his domineering power is inadvertent. There is no need to criticize him now. You can't compare Liu Guozheng and Liu Guoliang in everything. Liu Guoliang has won the Olympic championship, but Liu Guozheng has never won even a singles world championship. When Liu Guoliang was the head coach at the time, he was very stable. This time Liu Guozheng was ordered to do something in danger.
The former coach of the second team was suddenly appointed as the head coach. Everyone should understand that he is a little uncomfortable. Now that Liu Guoliang is back, there will be no changes for him, and he will definitely still support Liu Guozheng's work. Although Liu Guozheng had few opportunities when Liu Guoliang was in charge, no matter how high his emotional intelligence was, he would not let Liu Guozheng get out of class.
When talking about Liu Guozheng, the most unforgettable moment is not how strong his coaching ability is, but the battle with Kim Taek-soo in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, saving 7 match points and helping the national table tennis team win the championship. will and tenacious fighting spirit.
As for his coaching level, judging from the time he coached the national table tennis team, he can get a passing grade. To say that he can catch up with the table tennis legend Liu Guoliang is not even close.
Liu Guozheng, who was born in the 1980s, was troubled by injuries. After retiring at the age of 28, he moved into coaching and served as an intern coach for the national team, assisting Wu Jingping in coaching Wang Hao and Ma Lin. In 2012 At that time, the head coach of Guoping Table Tennis hired him as the head coach of the second team of the national team. In April last year, he stepped into the position of head coach of the national table tennis men's team. Being able to stand out among many coaches shows that he still has two skills.
Judging from his experience of coaching for more than a year, his coaching experience, on-the-spot response, and coaching personality still need to be improved and honed.
In terms of coaching experience, although he has coached since retiring, he is still in a basic coaching position. Compared with the veteran Liu Guoliang, there is still a gap in his ability to read the game and the players' psychological adjustment ability. , what Liu Guoliang could see through at a glance, Liu Guozheng might not have seen through for a long time.
Compared with Liu Guoliang's extroverted domineering character, Liu Guozheng's introverted personality makes him appear weak. During the game, we can see that when faced with a player's unavailability, Liu Guoliang pauses to shout and slap, and the player will explode instantly. However, Liu Guozheng is lacking in this aspect. For example, in the recent Japan Open, whether it is Ma Long or Zhang Jike , when the players' status fluctuated, they failed to provide timely guidance and change the rhythm. As a result, due to problems in the games that could be won, the championship was unfortunately lost.
My thoughts are slightly conservative and I dare not use new people. From the Table Tennis Open and the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, they relied too much on the main players Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, and Lin Gaoyuan, and the young players behind them did not have many opportunities to practice, so when they competed with young Japanese players, they were at an obvious disadvantage. There is a gap in the national table tennis talent. If we don't cultivate it quickly, once the main players retire, who can kill Zhang Benzhihe and others?
In the more than a year since he took over the national table tennis team, many young players have failed in the qualifying rounds, and the main players have lost to Japan one after another. The national table tennis team has shown nothing new in terms of psychological quality, technical and tactical changes and adjustments. , did not bring a new look to everyone, but instead made people feel more and more worried.
The players' skills and tactics are not inferior to those of Japan. The key is their mentality. This aspect happens to be Liu Guozheng's shortcoming. At present, there is no hope for Liu Guoliang to return to the national table tennis. We can only hope for Liu Guozheng and hope that he can lead the national table tennis to glory.
In fact, some people have an inaccurate understanding of the national table tennis coaching situation. As the saying goes, there is no "right" without "Liang". If possible, I still hope that Guozheng will learn and hone under Guoliang.
Personally, I think it’s a little early to ask this question. At present, Liu Guozheng's guidance has only led the national table tennis team to play two major competitions. One World Cup team and one World Table Tennis Championship team did not lose a set and won the final gold medal, completing the task perfectly.
Before taking the big test (Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships), I feel it is a bit inappropriate to evaluate Liu Guozheng.
For the current national team, stabilizing people's hearts, maintaining the status of the main force, and cultivating new players are the three most important points.
Stabilize people's hearts
The most important thing is to stabilize and maintain normal operation. Liu Guozheng did it. His low-key and pragmatic style allows the coaching staff and players to train and play normally, no longer be affected by things off the court, and focus on doing their own things.
Maintain the status of the main force
At present, Zhang Jike, Lin Gaoyuan, and Fan Zhendong are still in good condition, especially Zhang Jike (the head coach is Liu Guozheng), who is better every time in the three Opens. He played well and even got a championship point at the Japan Open, but unfortunately he didn't play well in the end. Ma Long and Xu Xin need to adjust. Xu Xin delayed some training time because his wife was ill. Ma Long's son has just come out, so it is normal for him to be a little distracted.
So from this point of view, Liu Guozheng did a good job.
Training new people
It takes time to train new people, because they were all left by Liu Guoliang not long after taking over. Moreover, the national table tennis team has been relying on Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, and Zhang Jike for a long time. This is the biggest test for Liu Guozheng.
To sum up, Liu Guozheng is still the most suitable candidate to serve as the head coach of the national table tennis team, and he is doing a pretty good job. You can't make a conclusion for Liu Guozheng just because of one or two games. When Liu Guoliang first took over, in such an important game as the Athens Olympics, Wang Hao also lost to the relatively weak Liu Chengmin, which caused the Chinese men's table tennis team to leave Maicheng. Therefore, it is too early to evaluate Liu Guozheng now, and we will talk about it later.
I don’t know what everyone thinks about this issue. If you agree with my point of view, please like it. If you disagree, you can comment below and express your thoughts.
Your likes and attention are the biggest motivation for us to move forward~
Personally, I think Liu Guozheng is a good coach! The performance of the National Table Tennis Team over the past year is still worthy of praise, give him more time!
Liu Guoliang left, and Liu Guozheng took over as the head of the coaching staff. During the most difficult period of the National Table Tennis Team, he helped the National Table Tennis Team stabilize its position. Although the national table tennis team lost several times in the open and finals, Tomokazu Harimoto, but the national table tennis team successfully won all major competitions such as the World Table Tennis Championships, World Cup, and Asian Games, which is enough to show the results! I have been coaching the national table tennis team for more than a year. Faced with the lack of success in men's table tennis, this report card is still very good!
Some fans question Liu Guozheng's coaching style, which is boring and not enough to convince the public! But I personally want to say that the national table tennis team really lacks such down-to-earth people. Although he is low-key, he is very thoughtful!
The most commendable aspect of Liu Guozheng’s guidance lies in the training of young players. Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, and Wang Chuqin, three young and middle-aged players have received many opportunities over the past year, and their results are as good as His abilities have been significantly improved, which is a reflection of Liu Guozheng's coaching ability.
To be honest, Liu Guozheng may not be a handsome coach, but he must be an excellent coach. Now that Chairman Liu has returned, under his leadership and with the guidance of Liu Guozheng, I believe that men's table tennis can overcome all difficulties!
To be fair, I think coach Liu Guozheng has withstood the test during the special period of national table tennis! His responsibility and coaching achievements are still evident! Not only did they achieve good results in competitions, they also stabilized the morale of the military. The key is that they also trained new players, which made great contributions to the echelon construction of men's table tennis! If I were to rate Guozheng's guidance, I would give it at least 90 points! Let’s talk about those 10 points in detail below:
Some people say that coach Liu Guozheng is not the head coach or coaching team leader because there is no official announcement of him, but it is undeniable that coach Guozheng exercised his leadership during that special period. Coach’s rights. When President Cai of the Table Tennis Association was in office at that time, he once talked about the reason why Liu Guozheng should be reused, mainly because he had made contributions to the team. As an athlete, he was calm in times of crisis and had strong ability to withstand pressure. This is not an ordinary athlete. All are available.
Liu Guozheng led the men's table tennis team to win the 2018 World Cup men's team championship, the World Championship men's team championship, the Asian Cup men's singles championship, the Asian Games men's team and men's singles championships! It can be said that he did not miss any of the highlights this year. This report card is very convincing! Of course, it also shows that our national table tennis heritage is indeed extraordinary.
Of course, some people say that the national table tennis team also lost under the leadership of Liu Guozheng. For example, Ma Long, Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong all lost to Zhang Benzhihe. This argument is indeed a bit picky.
Besides, Fan Zhendong’s off-court coach in that game was coach Wang Hao!
There is no winning general in this world. Liu Guoliang was promoted to the chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Wouldn’t the men’s table tennis team still lose the men’s singles championship in the ITTF finals? ? Therefore, I think it is unfair to put the hat of losing on the head of Guozheng Guozheng!
At present, the national table tennis team is in a period of integration. The national table tennis team is in urgent need of professional talents. You see, Ma Lin, Chen Qi and Qiu Yike have all returned to the team to coach, but in terms of coaching experience and achievements, Liu Guozheng has more to say. right.
At present, it seems that the leader of men's table tennis will be chosen from Liu Guozheng or Wang Hao.
To be fair, the time has come to test Liu Guoliang. Wang Hao is the future head coach of Fan Zhendong, the number one national table tennis player. This is the biggest bargaining chip, but the Sixth Man feels that Liu Guozheng may be more comprehensive. What do you think?
Very
