CVA management ruined the best generation of Chinese players in my opinion. Tokyo should have benched Zhu because she was too injured to be effective in any way. Playing her might have exacerbated her wrist injury. Paris already ended before they started because they kept a bird brain coach who have not shown anything this cycle. Zhang Changning might be the most under utilized talented player in history. I just felt bad for the players because they deserved better.
so sad to see ZT playing through pain. All those funny faces while playing Turkey is likely pain from her wrist when she hits/blocks and Vargas is hammering it hard every time.
CB just ruined the entire tournament. Ironically being in the top of the pool got them Turkey and US got Poland. (Not that Poland is a bad team but China might have gone into SF based on their track record)
Like why bring ZCN when you don’t trust her to play. Bringing her on as a serve sub???? What a waste! Considering her service reception, which China really needed in that game, he could have let her sub in for ZT. Not only the game against Turkey, but France and Serbia. I hope to not see CB near the NT again.
do all those assistant coaches and trainer on the benches not a have say in any of the decision making during the game? Is it all CB and whoever he’s taking directions from?
I guess it’s probably best to stop here and not proceed any further to save more of their players from injury. I doubt they had any chance against Italy anyways.
I hope Wu MJ will continue her quest for the next Olympics as I think everyone else seems to be retiring since they will be considered “old” for the next one.
