　　The taste is sour, but I still love it as much as ever.

　　"I didn't expect to be out so early, as the head coach I have the main responsibility. But I can't say that because of the bad results this time, we deny our efforts."

Facing the camera, Lang Ping, the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the time, affirmed the efforts of the players and took responsibility for the failure. She was almost 61 years old at the time.

　　Speaking of fans who love the women's volleyball team, the always calm director Lang was somewhat incoherent for a while.

　　During the words, Lang Ping choked up several times, and tears couldn't stop falling.
