In the eyes of the Chinese people, athletes like Guo Jingjing and Super Dan are all veterans. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The two of them are engaged in projects where they are still the main force of the national team at their age abroad, and they can even play two times.
In the Olympic Games, the main reason why athletes retire and are eliminated is to make way for newcomers.
Just like Yaping, she could have competed in one Olympic Games. No one was her opponent at that time, but in this invincible state, she retired! Why, she had to make way for young people.
If they win the championship, is it because the leaders have a good eye for understanding people, because the coaches train well, or because their talents are better? In order to maintain the image of the leader, and in order for people to see the role of the coaches, no matter what
Whether they want it or not, they have to retire and make way for others. This is the tragedy of Chinese athletes.
The most typical example is Xiong Ni. After he got older, the national diving team stopped recruiting him to participate in competitions. Until the Olympics, they could not find a young man who could step up, so they had to let this veteran come forward. It was left to Xiong Ni.
Ni's time was only a few months, but it was by relying on these few months of recovery that he once again won the Olympic gold medal. But then, like us, we just forgot about it after using it.
The same is true for Super Dan. After defending his title in the Olympics, he was still able to compete in two Olympic Games with his condition and skills. However, in order to let the newcomers take over, the head coach used his marriage as an excuse to exclude him.
.It wasn’t until young people kept losing to Lee Chong Wei that Super Dan had to come back.
And Super Dan, who has not played a game for a whole year, has to start from the qualifying rounds to participate in various open competitions. What a huge irony for a man who has won two Olympic gold medals and the winner of all men's singles Grand Slams in badminton.
And in this case, Super Pill still prevented Li Zongwei from reaching the top. One can imagine how excellent his skills are!
Don’t the leaders of the national team know?
Of course they know, it's just that they need a change of blood, they need a new idol, a new champion, just like abandoning other athletes, they abandoned Super Dan, but they didn't succeed.
Super Dan and Xie Xingfang are both players who use their brains, so they naturally know all the details involved. This is why Super Dan was tempted after receiving this invitation. Although this may attract domestic criticism, but for a consideration
For those who live after retirement, there is nothing more tempting than money, status and work.
Should you live with a pension of several thousand dollars and sell the gold medals you have won from time to time to treat your old injuries, or should you choose to be a high-ranking official, live in a villa and mansion, drive a sports car, and direct others to play games?
It's not an issue that needs to be considered.
Of course, the premise of all this is based on the possibility of the rise of Miaoxiang State. They only have one chance, so they naturally have to be cautious. Xie Xingfang is not worried about this now, but she still has to ask clearly, the price the two of them need to pay, if it exceeds
Depending on their ability to bear it, they would still refuse.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang's request was not excessive. In addition, the people in Miaoxiang Country were all Chinese and did not need to integrate into a new society. This tipped the balance to Chaomiaoxiang Country's side. As for playing the game, the two were not worried.
Since they are not needed in the country, then they need a place where they are needed.
Especially Xie Xingfang was very excited when she heard that she could represent Miaoxiang Country in the competition. Her biggest regret is that she did not win the Olympic gold medal. She had a chance, and she was even one step away from success. She could work with Lin Dan to create a legend, but
Finally fell to the key point.
After returning to China, the only news that awaited her was to let her return to the provincial team for training. This was a great irony for Xie Xingfang, who had long regarded herself as the first sister of the Chinese Women's Badminton Team. This side had just helped the country
He worked hard to win medals, but was ruthlessly abandoned over there.
Not even having a chance to take revenge, not giving him a chance to prove himself again, this has become an eternal pain for Xie Xingfang. She originally thought that this would be the end of her life, but Zhang Yang's words made Xie Xingfang see the possibility of revenge, and she said nervously:
"I can compete!"
"Of course that is what I want. What Miaoxiang Country lacks most now is athletes. It can be said that there is not even a professional athlete. This is the dilemma we are currently facing. This is why I am so actively contacting the two of you. To be honest,
There are too many problems that I have to solve every day. If it is not particularly important, I will not come forward at all. And this is what I think is important!" said Zhang Yang.
Xie Xingfang hesitated and said: "I don't have a problem. Even with Super Dan, the country still doesn't have a sure idea whether to let him continue fighting or to retire."
"As far as I know, he wants to continue playing, but the main plan of the national team is to train new players, and he is not even given a chance to participate! What's the point of him staying? Is he going to be a substitute for those juniors? Oh!
"If there is no one left, let him come in. If there is someone available, let him go?" Zhang Yang said sarcastically.
Xie Xingfang smiled bitterly and said: "We have no choice. This is the request of the national team head coach. He can only listen."
Zhang Yang blinked when he saw Yaping and asked: "Ms. Yaping, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"Me? I haven't decided yet!" Yaping said.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Whether you come to be this minister or not, you can always make a suggestion. I think you also faced such difficulties back then."
Yaping stopped talking, and then said sadly for a long time: "In fact, the status of athletes in China is not much like that of actors in the past. When needed, they use it and put it back after use. If I had to choose, I would do it now.
The best way is to make a decision. If you stay, you must confirm your status. If you leave, then leave completely!"
"But this is difficult!" Xie Xingfang said in embarrassment.
Yaping shook her head and said: "It's not difficult. If you want to know, just test it out. Tian Liang didn't just test out the idea of joining the diving team and resolutely retire at the most suitable opportunity. Otherwise, how could he be successful in the entertainment industry?
The situation is over. And who suffered the loss was the national team. The national team that year completely lost the ten-meter platform, an advantageous event, in the Olympics."
Xie Xingfang's eyes finally lit up. She understood what Yaping meant. She made money by filming commercials and performing acupuncture. Since the national team didn't call me, why did I bother to train like that? When notified to play a game, she only needed to find a reason to refuse once and she would understand what the leaders above said.
Got an idea.
If they think Super Dan is indispensable, they will let the media downplay the matter. If they regard him as dispensable, then he will suffer one-sided criticism from the media. In this regard, CCTV will always stand at the center of management.
This side.
Just like Sun Yang and Wang Meng, they suffered waves of criticism when there were no sports games, but when they needed to compete, they downplayed the mistakes they had made.
If, with his status as a super player, he has made so many contributions to the country, is about to retire as a veteran, and is making plans for his future life, if the national team still cannot forgive him and still suppresses him, then there is really no need to wait any longer.
meaning.
It makes no sense at all. Xie Xingfang is also an independent woman and said to Yaping: "Thank you for reminding me, I know what to do!"
Yaping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Nothing! I thought I did this before, but you may not have noticed at the time that there was criticism of me in the media, which was a precursor to me leaving the national team. There is no way, in
Our country has too many talents to choose from in advantageous projects, and performance is no longer the only criterion."
Zhang Yang intervened at the right time: "This is the biggest difference between us and the country. My idea is whoever has good grades will be admitted! Sports should stay away from hidden rules. Ms. Yaping, now it's time for you to make a decision. How many more days are left?
The East Asian Games will start in a month, and I can’t wait endlessly!”
Zhang Yang directly chose to force the mother to conceive. He suddenly understood some of Yaping's thoughts, that is, she wanted to see if the country had really given up on her. She still had the last desire for the motherland that had raised her, even though she had been
