2 months, how has the team changed?

　　Like the World Women's Volleyball League, the Women's Volleyball World Championship is also related to the world ranking of the Chinese women's volleyball team and is linked to the points of the Paris Olympic Games.

　　The list of 14 participants this time includes three Rio Olympic champions, Ding Xia, Yuan Xinyue and Gong Xiangyu.

The captain is still Yuan Xinyue, and this is her third consecutive World Championships.

The eight players, including Wang Yuanyuan and Wang Yunwei, are all competing in the Women's Volleyball World Championships for the first time.

　　Objectively speaking, with the absence of main players such as Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning, the women's volleyball team is still young.

　　Compared with the World Women's Volleyball League, Wang Mengjie, who participated in the Tokyo Olympics, returned to the team in the free agent position.

According to Cai Bin, the free agent Ni Feifan had an injury in his hand, which affected his technical performance. The coaching staff finally identified two young players, Ni Feifan and Yu Jiarui, as backup candidates for the World Championships.

　　After finishing the World Women's Volleyball League and completing the quarantine at the Ningbo Beilun training base, the Chinese women's volleyball team started preparations for the World Championships for more than a month.

During the period, the players practiced almost three times a day. In response to the problems that occurred in the World Women's Volleyball League, the purpose of the team's training content was to make up for the shortcomings.

　　Taking the main attacking position as an example, who is competent for Li Yingying's diagonal position has always been the focus of fans' attention.

In the current tactical system of the women's volleyball team, players at this position need to undertake more first-pass protection tasks.

In the closed training camp, the Chinese women's volleyball team carried out targeted and intensive training on the first pass and offense of the main attack.

　　Today, Wang Yunliu's outstanding performance is enough to see the effectiveness of the team's training.

Women's Volleyball World Championships, what is the goal?

　　On the day of the Women's Volleyball World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team still carried out 3 hours of daily training.

Looking forward to the game, the whole team is full of desire and maintains a peaceful mind.

　　Facing the camera, several players mentioned one word, challenge.

Under the new schedule, this is also what the Chinese women's volleyball team must face.

　　The Netherlands Division of the Women's Volleyball World Championships will host the first half of the competition, and the Poland Division will host the second half of the competition. The teams from the two divisions did not meet before the final.

　　In the first stage of the group stage, 24 teams were divided into four groups A, B, C, and D. Each group of 6 teams had a single round-robin, and the top four teams in the group advanced to the semi-finals.

　　For the Chinese women's volleyball team in the upper half, the main opponents are Brazil, Japan, Italy and the Netherlands.

During the Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not have the upper hand in the encounter with several old rivals.

　　On the afternoon of the 18th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's volleyball team arrived in the Netherlands to prepare for the sprint.

"The game with the Japanese team must go all out to win, and the game with the Brazilian women's volleyball team will also fight against the opponent." Cai Bin introduced.

　　The women's volleyball world championship has a long schedule and strong opponents, and the team is ready for difficulties.

Carrying forward the spirit of the women's volleyball team and going all out to fight every game has become the goal of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

　　After getting off to a good start, the girls' journey to the Women's Volleyball World Championships officially set sail.

　　Many have said that this may be the most difficult world competition the Chinese women's volleyball team has faced since the Rio Olympic cycle.

But even so, in the smashes again and again, the players' eyes are still full of tenacity and bravery.

　　On the 27th, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the Colombian women's volleyball team.

For the team, please keep looking forward and grow with them.
