Liu Guoliang walks Liang Jingkun to the competition with difficulties! The German media revealed the reason and was forced to do nothing.
Fan Zhendong and Malone were replaced by Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin in the Asian Cup list published by ITTF. This arrangement is considered that Guoping is training these two players to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games. However, there are also many people who think that Fan Zhendong and Ma Longming should not walk Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin in this way. However, there are also difficulties. Liu Guoliang was forced to do nothing, and the German media revealed the reasons.
At Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, Qin Zhijian gave all five players a chance to play, but Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan only played in the group stage to feel the atmosphere of the competition. After entering the knockout round, Qin Zhijian always insisted on using the lineup of Fan Zhendong, Malone and Wang Chuqin. Even though Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong lost to Zhang Benzhihe in the semi-final, Qin Zhijian didn’t adjust the lineup, and finally won the championship with these three people.
After the World Table Tennis Championships, the entry list of the Asian Cup was confirmed, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin got the opportunity to participate, and Fan Zhendong and Malone, the top two players in the world, were replaced. Fan Zhendong and Malone don’t seem to need the opportunity of the Asian Cup to prove themselves, but the quota of Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin is really not convincing. In particular, Liang Jingkun was in the whirlpool outside the court recently, and his finalist also caused a lot of controversy.
A few days ago, German media issued a document in evaluating the World Table Tennis Championships, pointing out that China might not be able to cope with the situation of lacking two superstars at the same time. German media specifically pointed out that Fan Zhendong and Malone have been the guarantors of the success of national table tennis for many years. In contrast, the German team won the runner-up of the men’s team under the leadership of Qiu Party in the absence of three main players, Bohr, Ocharov and Francesca, and completed the replacement problem that should have been solved at the Paris Olympic Games.
German media actually pointed out a problem of Guoping, that is, besides Fan Zhendong and Malone, we don’t have a third stable and reassuring point. As you can imagine, if our team of Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin sent in the final of the World Table Tennis Championships, I’m afraid they may not be able to beat the German team, but more likely they will be eliminated by the Japanese team in the semi-finals. Therefore, Liu Guoliang let Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin participate in the Asian Cup, which was also forced by the situation. He had to exercise these two people in this way.
The national table tennis men’s team has no other way to go now. One of Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin must be forced out to make them grow into stronger players. Whether Malone can participate in the Paris Olympic Games is very variable. One of the national table tennis players must be able to join hands with Fan Zhendong to challenge the Olympic champion, which is one reason why Liu Guoliang must walk Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin to participate, forcing them to make progress.
