Wei Jizhong is a very important figure in the history of Chinese sports. He has made great contributions to the development of our country's sports industry. He is called the father of the Chinese sports industry and the Olympic industry. But for the Chinese women's volleyball team, Wei Jizhong But he is an out-and-out sinner. He once forced Chen Zhonghe to leave, prevented Lang Ping from renewing his contract, and badmouthed the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The Chinese women's volleyball team has always been a sports team that is loved by the country. They have represented the country many times and won gold medals on the Olympic stage to bring glory to the country. The unyielding and courageous spirit of the women's volleyball team has also inspired many Chinese people. Nowadays, the Chinese women's volleyball team is already a world-famous strong team, winning almost all major volleyball awards. However, Wei Jizhong always puts forward suggestions that are contrary to the public at the turning points of the Chinese women's volleyball team. He has made the Chinese women's volleyball team several times. The women's volleyball team stagnated and almost destroyed the Chinese women's volleyball team. Forcing Chen Zhonghe out
When talking about the development history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, we have to mention Chen Zhonghe. Chen Zhonghe was once the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the 2003 World Cup and the 2004 World Cup. Athens Olympic gold medal in 2016.
At that time, the overall strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team was declining. It was Chen Zhonghe who had a unique vision to discover potential athletes, specially formulated training methods for them under huge pressure, and silently accompanied them in training. They won the Olympic championship in 20 years at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Chen Zhonghe was definitely the biggest contributor to winning the gold medal, but at this time Wei Jizhong joined the team that opposed Chen Zhonghe. He believed that Chen Zhonghe’s playing style was very conservative, and he was asked to lead the Chinese women’s volleyball team. The results would definitely not improve much. He recommended Cai Bin to lead the team and insisted on replacing Chen Zhonghe.
At this time, Chen Zhonghe has experienced many hardships and ups and downs in life. Leading the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the championship is his only spiritual support. After winning the Olympic medal, Chen Zhonghe publicly stated that he would not accept any material As a reward, he just wanted to work for the Chinese team for another four years and lead the women's volleyball team to win medals again, but Wei Jizhong insisted on replacing Chen Zhonghe as the coach. He recommended his fellow player Cai Bin to take over, but after Cai Bin became the head coach, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team declined again and again, and in the end it was disastrous. Impeding Lang Ping's contract renewal
Another person who has made great contributions to the Chinese women's volleyball team is Lang Ping. She was once a volleyball player loved by the audience, won multiple world championships, and helped the Chinese women's volleyball team achieve three goals. After winning consecutive championships and retiring, Lang Ping was hired as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. She personally brought the Chinese women's volleyball team to the top again, winning the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games.
At this time, Lang Ping's contract expired, and she was more inclined to continue to lead the Chinese women's volleyball team. Therefore, the American Volleyball Association contacted Lang Ping for more than a month, hoping to sign a four-year contract with Lang Ping. Lang Ping still He was very hesitant and said that he would make a decision after discussing it with his daughter. But at this time Wei Jizhong came out to speak again. He said, "The Chinese women's volleyball team has standards for handsomeness. Unrealistic standards exclude all candidates. Mistakes and trial and error must be allowed."
After making these remarks, he published two articles, both of which were about Lang Ping's contract renewal. With Wei Jizhong's influence in the sports world, it was natural that the matter of Lang Ping's contract renewal would be dropped. Wei Jizhong also said, "China With such a large population base, we are not afraid that there will be no next Lang Ping, and we must give other coaches some opportunities." Later, Lang Ping led the Italian women's volleyball team and the American volleyball team to win medals, but the Chinese women's volleyball team has always stagnated. The controversy surrounding Wei Jizhong
In addition to the impact on the Chinese women's volleyball team, Wei Jizhong also had a negative impact on my country's table tennis industry. In 2017, the General Administration of Sports decided to cancel the head coach responsibility system and let the original The head coach Liu Guoliang serves as the vice president of the Table Tennis Association. Wei Jizhong strongly supported this move, which many netizens could not understand. After the decision was made, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin and other athletes gave up participating in the ITTF World Tour, while Wei Jizhong advocated The severe punishment of coaches and athletes has been criticized by many netizens.
Wei Jizhong has always been sarcastic towards the women's volleyball team. From time to time, he will make unfavorable remarks about the Chinese women's volleyball team and often pour cold water on the Chinese women's volleyball team. Before the 2016 Rio Olympics, Wei Jizhong also made a statement saying that it was impossible for the Chinese women's volleyball team to win a medal. As a result, the women's volleyball girls led by Lang Ping won the Olympic gold medal, which completely slapped him in the face.
It stands to reason that it is not easy for Wei Jizhong to worry about my country's sports industry when he is over 80 years old, but it may be because his ideas are old and his ideas are no longer suitable for the current sports industry. It's time to step back and enjoy the peace and quiet.
