Xinhua News Agency, Budapest, April 28: be the strongest self-interview with Liu Shiwen

Xinhua News Agency reporter Su Bin Zhang Zhang

at the age of 28, Liu Shiwen broke the “window paper” of the world table tennis singles champion “. On the 28th, she said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency that she had thought of giving up, but the encouragement and confidence given by people around her kept her going.

In the women’s singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Budapest on 27th, Liu Shiwen defeated his teammate Chen Meng with 4:2. After winning the championship, she burst into tears.

“I was a little embarrassed just after the last point. I felt very excited and excited. After a few seconds, I felt a little tired again. (crying is) the release of many emotions. After a dozen minutes of calm down, I feel that winning this championship is a affirmation of myself.” Liu Shiwen said.

She said that after working hard for so many years, including the whole process, she felt that she was worth winning the championship.

From participating in the world table tennis singles for the first time in 2009 to reaching the top of the dream in 2019, Liu Shiwen waited for 10 years for the Gester Cup.

Liu Shiwen said that he encountered different difficulties in each cycle and time period, and the most difficult period was from 2017 to 2018.

“With the change of rules, skills and tactics as well as people’s mood declined a little bit. At that time, they really had the idea of giving up.” Liu Shiwen said that there was a turning point at the end of last year. Ma Lin became the coach in charge. People around her gave her a lot of encouragement and confidence. She felt that there was still a lot of potential that had not been fully explored, so she had the belief to fight again.

In the semi-final and final, Liu Shiwen sent two teammates Ding Ning and Chen Meng 11:0 respectively, which seemed to be merciless, but proved her investment on the side.

“Ding Ning and Chen Meng are both very difficult opponents. They are on the I am side of the court. They dare not walk or even relax for a second, so they want to do their best to compare every point.” Liu Shiwen said.

Liu Shiwen, who entered the finals twice in 2013 and 2015 but missed the champion, said that after playing the semi-final, he felt that people’s emotions and Qi were a little upturned. “There must be an idea, because after entering the final, it is very close to the champion. But I try to be calm and suppress this idea. Having experienced so much, I know that I should keep a calm mind and mind at this moment. What is more important is the process of the competition. Only by doing all the processes well can there be hope.”

Liu Shiwen believes that the biggest change brought to her by Ma Lin is confidence and belief, which gives her a lot of encouragement. In terms of skills and tactics, both Ma Lin and the head coach of the women’s team, Li Falcon, gave her a lot of reminders. Many male players also helped her train. The change and improvement of her ability in about a month surprised her.

With four World Cup singles titles, now the World Table Tennis Championships are crowned women’s singles crown. Liu Shiwen is only the Olympic gold medal away from the “Grand Slam”, and next year’s Tokyo or her best chance.

“This (Olympic gold medal) is an ultimate dream.” Liu Shiwen admits that there are still more than a year before the Tokyo Olympic Games, and there are still many competitions and competitions. The main thing is to do yourself well and have a strong mentality and strength. This is convincing. I hope to win such an opportunity.

Liu Shiwen believes that the performance is not bad, but the ability and tactics have not reached their own goals, and there is a lot of room for efforts.

The Japanese team, the host of next year’s Olympic Games, is regarded as the biggest competitor of the national team. Compared with the strength of the Chinese team to win the top four women’s singles, the Japanese team’s performance in this project is average, and the positive dialogue between the two teams also ended with the victory of the national team.

Liu Shiwen said that the competition between the two teams between China and Japan will last for many years. Several opponents of the Japanese team are very powerful. There is still a long way to go more than a year before the Tokyo Olympics, the most important thing is to be the strongest one.

Xinhua News Agency, Madrid, May 24-Argentine star Macy said on the 24th that Barcelona should apologize for being eliminated by Liverpool in the semi-final of the Champions League.

Massey said at the press conference of Barcelona on the 24th: “After losing to Liverpool, we are still recovering. At least I’m still recovering. Our performance is regrettable, which is a painful defeat for us.”

Barcelona won 3:0 in the first round, but was beaten 4:0 by the other side when he was a guest at Anfield Stadium in the second round, thus regretting being out.

Macy said: “We don’t have to apologize for losing, but we should apologize for not doing our best.”

Barcelona will face Valencia in the King’s Cup final, which is the last match of the team this season. During his career, Massey often avoided interviews from reporters. The last time he attended the pre-match press conference of Barcelona was in 2015.

If you can beat Valencia, Barcelona, which has won the league championship, will become the double champion King, but winning the Champions League was originally the most important goal of the team this season.

Macy said: “It is really important to win the double crown, but the defeat still made us feel very uncomfortable. We are all very devoted to the Champions League, so the disappointment is even heavier.”

Defensive counterattack magic pen tears on the field-review of Chinese team group match

上海 Leave a comment

Xinhua News Agency, Le Havre, France, June 18 (Reporter Yuedong Xingma Bangjie Yue Ran Ran) the main defensive counterattack nearly broke the gate of the German team, Zhang Rui’s miaoge and Li Ying’s difficult shooting, the fighting spirit of the whole team made Jia Xiuquan, the “iron handsome”, shed tears rarely, and Peng Shimeng’s brave savior’s nine single saves became the highlight of the Chinese women’s football team in this World Cup group match.

At the same time, the three games also reflected the “short board” of the Chinese team: they exposed the gap between the passing and catching skills and controlling the rhythm of the match with the Spanish team in 90 minutes, as well as the lack of ability to grasp key opportunities and control matches in the contest with South Africa, it reflects that the progress of the team in the past four years lags behind the European team which is rising collectively, it indicates that the next top 16 road is still full of tests.

Looking back at the three games, the first battle in Germany can be summarized by a comment from FIFA’s live text broadcast-“Jia Xiuquan’s defensive counterattack tactics are almost perfect”. Indeed, if we can seize one of the three excellent opportunities, the Chinese women’s football team will probably turn the tactics formulated before the match into a victory to change the situation of the team, but the German team still uses top-ranking control, it shows the details of the two World Cup champions and finally wins.

From the three chances of breaking the door of the Chinese team, every time it is a smooth and concise line of cooperation, which reflects the tactical idea of efficiently defending the transfer advocated by Jia Xiuquan, and the results of the girls’ training in the past year. The two passes between guyasha and Wang Shanshan one, the tacit understanding between Zhang Rui and Wang Shanshan all made Yang Li, who had a reasonable position, get a better chance to break the door than the German team. Unfortunately, the pressure that may bring to the first World Cup in his career did not make the shooter feel the best shot.

After the game, around Wang Frost’s substitute status and Jia Xiuquan’s comments after the game, the outside world raised concerns about their loss of soldiers. However, Wang Yan, the team’s only player in the European league, quickly dispelled doubts, saying that Jia Xiuquan treated players like his father and hoped that the outside world would not speculate. This episode did not affect the cohesion of the team. Wang Frost started the second game and played the whole game, gradually recovering the state. However, the frontend, in the tactics of two different systems, has not yet shown her full role in “Greater Paris” in the national team.

In the key battle against the South African team that must win three points, the inside of the quya sand restricted area kicked the door and hit the header, and Wang Shanshan hit the door line, which once again made people worry about the “weakness of the front. At the critical moment, Li Ying shot down the door, turning a non-absolute opportunity into a goal and becoming the greatest hero. However, such a “magic pen” can often be met and cannot be found, the Chinese team still needs to do better in grasping the absolute opportunity.

And even in the face of the recognized weak teams in this group, the accuracy rate of the Chinese team’s passing was only 66%:65%, which showed that there were still many mistakes. Taking the words of the players after the game, it was still “a little tight and impatient” and could not effectively control the rhythm, which gave the South African team many chances to fight back, which also showed the hidden danger of insufficient coordination ability of inpre-market.

At the end of the group match, it can be called the most passive 90 minutes for the three games of the Chinese team. The Spanish women’s football team inherited the transmission and control technology of the country’s men’s football team. It fully controlled the situation by using skilled passing and catching technology, reasonable meeting and running position, inpre-market-level clear three-dimensional offensive, and bold pressure from two-wing side guards.

Chinese players generally seem to be a little tight under the anti-defense tactics. It is difficult to control the ball in the first time to grab return rights, and the passing lines around are often blocked by the other side, you can only use the big foot prequel, and rarely kick out the transmission of more than 5 feet. Although the final draw ensures the ideal result of the exit, the process is completely inferior.

However, as the head coach and the players said after the game, after ensuring the qualification, the whole team won the precious time of tactical improvement and player recovery, this is crucial for the Chinese team who may have a stronger rival than Spain in a few days.
