Li Mu said,
"My ability is limited and I am unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the Chinese men's volleyball head coach."
"The Chinese men's volleyball coaches are not good."

I have a dream.
Since Antiga is fired by Poland Volleyball Association, Why not try?
Jon Uriarte? It is also a good choice.
Time for the Chinese NT is not much.
(Chinese: 留给中国队的时间不多了, from always scolded Chinese men's national football team)

1 China Volleyball Association (CVA) is still lack of money. Of course, the reason might have nothing to do with sports. I don't like discussing politics.
2 Many Chinese coaches disagreed with foreign coaches. Chen Gang, Chen Yao's father, a coach who likes empty talk, said that foreign coaches don't know about the complexity of Chinese volleyball.

the complexity of Chinese volleyball? Chen Gang's meaning is the hidden rule? "Lady first?" "East Asian men is forever weaker than European man?" It's foolish.

Head Coach: Wang Hai-chuan (Liu Ya-nan's husband)
Assistant Coaches: Li Chun, Sun Quan
Players: Wang Dong-chen, Wei Bo-lin, Li Ao, Tian Cong, Qi Qi, Chen Lei-yang, Yang Yi-ming, Zhang Jing-ying, Wang Chao, Zhang Dong-zheng, Yuan Bao-lin, Peng Shi-kun, Xiu Cheng-cheng, Qu Zong-shuai

The photo proves:

Chinese men's volleyball team will hire the first foreign head coach!

[Chinese:男排聘请外教]

EDIT: only a rumor: the coach may be Hugh Mccutcheon.

It is said at the beginning, 9 foreign coaches are in the investigation scope.
A few days later, "9" becomes "6".
Therefore, Slobodan Kovač is in the 3? (9-6)
Of course, CVA didn't still say their names.
Oh, my god!

Therefore, the players from Shanghai and Jiangsu should return "later".

From the Italian media, Andrea Anastasi are invited to be the new head coach of Chinese men's NT but he hardly got the job due to the present contract with Gdansk.

Italian men's NT and Polish men's NT that he coached played many matches against Chinese men's NT that Zhou Jian-an did from 2008 OG to 2011 WC.

Ding Hui (half-black, the libero of Chinese men's NT from 2009 to 2010, his father from South Africa and it is said that he opened a volleyball school in USA after he retired in 2013)'s site (OH or L) in 2010, the most valuable match in 2009 (China gave Italy the score of 3-0), Chen Ping's heavy injury due to Jarosz in 2011 WC (therefore he has to retire in 2014), he coached Feng Kun in 2008/2009 in Team Novara ...

This is the story of Andrea Anastasi and Chinese volleyball.

Because of the beginning of the qualification of the senior event of 13th Chinese National Games 2017,
who is the head coach of NT?
I don't hope that "Inviting a foreign head coach" be a joke.

It is a rumor that Hugh Mccutcheon denied that he got the invite of CVA about the head coach of Chinese men's national volleyball team.

Andrea Anastasi? Huge Conte? Who are the other three?
I hope CVA can give the answer before May.

Quote from Rains_of_Castamere

What team does Gao Qi play for right now? He used to be on Monza as bench player and played well when he was called.

Sichuan.
In the semifinal 2 of Chinese League 16/17, he played in Set 3 and Set 4.
He is as the fourth OP after Cai Yi-ming, Du Hai-xiang (an OH as a receiving OP) and Qin Song (a left-hand MB as an OP).

Quote from Rains_of_Castamere

They have 4 opposites? Is that normal? Makes me think Chinese clubs are so bad at managing their talents. Maybe they should send them to other countries instead of rotting them in their benches.

I just give you a sentense, "Did you watch the matches of Team Sichuan?"
