Yesterday was the deadline set by the International Olympic Committee for athletes to register for the Beijing Olympic Games. With the arrival of this date, the list of players in some events of "China Legion" has been announced one after another. An official of the State Sports General Administration revealed that the list of China sports delegation will be announced on July 25th, when the inaugural meeting of China delegation will be held.
What are the mysteries in the list of some projects that have been announced so far?
Men’s Football Team: "Dui Trace" is dying out.
Yesterday was the deadline for national men’s soccer teams to report to FIFA the list of 18 people who will eventually participate in the Olympic Games. Zhu Ting, Shen Longyuan, Zhang Lu and Lin Dai were finally voted out of the list of 18 contestants.
Some time ago, the Olympic team had just arrived in Changchun for training and had finalized a list of "18+4". At that time, in this list, the four players who became substitutes were Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin, Lin Dai and Liu Zhenli. At that time, Dewey still had the command of the Olympic team’s training and competition, so Dewey naturally participated in the formulation of this "18+4" list. However, the original "18+4" list began to change subtly after Dewey left. After the warm-up match between the Olympic team and the Australian Olympic team last Sunday, it directly led to the adjustment of the list. In that warm-up match, Hao Junmin not only got the starting opportunity, but also performed well. Although Zhao Xuri came off the bench, he scored the only goal. Their status made the coaching staff finally decide to put them back on the 18-person list.
In the position of goalkeeper, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhenli are both substitutes, and their strength is similar. In the end, the coaching staff decided to keep Liu Zhenli in the 18-man list and eliminated Zhang Lu from the perspective of his richer experience in the Super League. Although there are rumors that Wang Yongpo, Mao Jianqing and others have returned to the Olympic team, according to the rules of the Olympic football competition, except for the "tragedies" like Hai and Qu Feifei, the doors of Wang Yongpo and Mao Jianqing’s return to the Olympic team have been completely closed.
After Hao Junmin and Zhao Xuri re-entered the 18-man list, which two players to choose as substitutes was a headache for the Olympic coaching staff. However, judging from the details that Shen Longyuan came off the bench in the second half of the China-Australia War but was replaced before the end of the game, the outside world has already noticed that Shen Yuanlong’s situation is very dangerous. Sure enough, Shen Longyuan was finally excluded from the list of 18 people. There are two reasons for his defeat: one is that he is injured at present, which affects the recovery of his state; Secondly, his position is relatively simple, and he can only play right avant-garde.
As for Zhu Ting, in the "Duy era", he was an absolute main force in both the Olympic team and the national team. However, through the top 20 matches of the national football team, almost everyone saw Zhu Ting’s weakness-he can only run but not score goals. In the last two warm-up matches of the Olympic team, Zhu Ting has stopped playing, and it is not surprising that Zhu Ting lost the election this time. However, the defeat of Zhu Ting and Shen Longyuan, two love generals of Dewey, will make people feel that the Olympic team is deliberately cleaning the traces left by Dewey.
List of 18 members of China Olympic team
Goalkeepers: Shengjiong Qiu and Liu Zhenli.
Defenders: Li Weifeng, Yuan Weiwei, Feng Xiaoting, Wan Houliang, Tan Wangsong and Lv Jianjun.
Midfielders: Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, Kelvin Cui, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao.
Forward: Jiang Ning, Han Peng, Dong Fangzhuo and Gao Lin.
List of four substitutes:
Shen Longyuan, Zhu Ting, Lin Dai, Zhang Lu
Women’s Football Team: Guangdong’s Xie Caixia was lucky to be shortlisted.
On July 21st, the day after China beat New Zealand 1-0 in the warm-up match, the 22-member list of China women’s football team participating in the Olympic Games was announced in advance. Because Qu Feifei was seriously injured in the Sino-Singapore warm-up match, the big list changed slightly. Five players, Liu Yali, Song Xiaoli, Lou Xiaoxu, Wei Xiaofen and Qu Feifei, left the team, while veteran Xie Caixia from Guangdong was lucky to stay in the 22-player list.
Xie Caixia, a 32-year-old, didn’t play much in the recent warm-up match of China women’s football team. However, due to Qu Feifei’s fractured fibula in her left leg, she dared not use too many small players in the team for such a large-scale event as the Olympic Games. Xie Caixia has rich experience in playing both the winger and the midfielder, so China women’s football team finally chose veteran Xie Caixia instead of Song Xiaoli.
Three goalkeepers were used in this 22-person roster, namely Zhang Yanru, Han Wenxia and Weng Xiaojie. It is not surprising that Wei Xiaofen, who has been playing as the fourth goalkeeper, went out. Veteran Liu Yali once again lost the chance to compete in the Olympic Games. Since Shang Ruihua took office, Liu Yali has been working hard, and she is also a versatile person valued by Shang Ruihua. However, the coaching staff finally had to give up her because of the continuous back injury. On the forward line, Lou Xiaoxu’s exit was directly caused by Ma Xiaoxu’s good performance in the game after his recent comeback.
Although the list of 22 people has been confirmed, the registration rules for women’s football are different from those for men’s football. The women’s football team has the right to change the list of 18 players and 4 players 24 hours before the start of the game. Moreover, the China Women’s Football Team has only announced the list of 22 players, and the final list of 18 players has not yet been finalized.
List of 22 women’s football players in China
Goalkeepers: Han Wenxia, Zhang Yanru and Weng Xiaojie.
Defenders: Jiang Shuai, Li Jie, Weng Xinzhi, Zhou Gaoping, Liu Huana, Yuan Fan and Kun Wang.
Midcourt: Gu Yasha, Wang Dandan, Bi Yan, Zhang Na, Zhang Ying, Pu Wei, Lou Jiahui and Xie Caixia.
Forward: Han Duan, Ma Xiaoxu, Xu Yuan and Liu Chan.
Men’s Basketball Team: Zhang Kai Ding Jinhui left the team.
Yesterday was the deadline set by the International Olympic Committee for athletes to register for the Beijing Olympic Games, and the China men’s basketball team also made layoffs. Ding Jinhui from Dongguan New Century Zhang Kai and Zhejiang Wanma became the last players to leave, while Zhang Qingpeng from Panpan, Liaoning Province and Chloe Wang from Bayi became the last two confirmed candidates.
As early as the Stankovic Cup, there were rumors that Zhang Kai and Ding Jinhui would leave the team. They left the team first because of their poor performance in the second half of this year’s warm-up match, and the most important reason is that there is no shortage of people inside the China men’s basketball team. After Yao Ming’s return, China men’s basketball team has Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi in the center position, while Yi Jianlian and Du Feng in the power forward position. These people are indispensable figures in China men’s basketball team.
However, the China men’s basketball team is short of perimeter staff. There are already four people in two positions on the perimeter, while there are only six people in three positions on the perimeter: Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Chen Jianghua and Li Nan. Chloe Wang and Zhang Qingpeng left this time are both perimeter players, which can be regarded as a supplement to the number of perimeter players. After determining the number, China men’s basketball team will compete in the Diamond Cup with a list of 12 players, and the preparations for the Olympic Games have also entered a sprint period.
After the team name list was confirmed, the players of China Men’s Basketball Team spontaneously held a team discussion meeting, and the whole team sat together to discuss some topics.
The biggest issue is the relationship between the internal and external lines, which is actually how to strengthen the tacit understanding with Yao Ming. "Before Dayao came back, we discussed how to better cooperate with Dayao." Zhu Fangyu said.
China men’s basketball team also discussed how to deal with the relationship between the collective and the individual, how to get out of adversity and other topics. The team has the most heated discussion, and it is also the core topic of the discussion-how to treat the grouping situation.
"This is the worst grouping result I can imagine." Yao Ming said, "Our opponents in the same group are very strong, but our goal will not change." In Group B, in addition to the Greek men’s basketball team and the German men’s basketball team, there are also the Spanish men’s basketball team, the American men’s basketball team and the African men’s basketball team.
China men’s basketball team list of 12 players.
Center: Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi.
Power forwards: Yi Jianlian and Du Feng.
Forward: Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan and Chloe Wang.
Defenders: Chen Jianghua, Wei Liu, Sun Yue and Zhang Qingpeng.
Other projects: there is no special "surprise"
In addition to football and men’s basketball, some lists of some sports were also unveiled in advance. However, these lists are obviously less suspenseful, belonging to "open guns", and they are also well-known points for the China delegation to compete for gold, so they failed to bring us special "surprises".
In track and field events, Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng in the men’s 110m hurdles, Huang Xiaoxiao in the women’s 400m hurdles, Zhang Wenxiu in the women’s hammer throw and Zhou Chunxiu in the women’s marathon are all unsurprising candidates.
In women’s tennis, China’s "Golden Flowers" are impressively listed. Zheng Jie, Li Na, Peng Shuai and YanZi take part in singles, while Zheng Jie/YanZi and Peng Shuai/Sun Tiantian play doubles.
As a "dream team", there is no doubt about the list of China diving team. The women’s 3m springboard guarded by Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia is the most sure event. The candidates for the women’s 10m platform are wangxin and Chen Ruolin, the men’s 3m springboard are He Chong, Qin Kai and Wang Feng, and the men’s 10m platform is Zhou Lvxin, Lin Yue and Huo Liang.
Shooting is also the dominant event of the China delegation. Due to the transparency of selection and qualification, its list was published early. Tan Zongliang, Zhu Qinan, Jia Zhanbo, Du Li, Zhao Yinghui, viki and Chen Ying are all familiar names.
As both advantageous events, the competition in gymnastics is fierce. Now only the men’s gymnastics is clear. Due to the strong comeback in the first half of this year, Li Xiaopeng broke into the Olympic team at the last minute. Li Xiaopeng, Yang Wei, Huang Xu, Chen Yibing, Zou Kai and Xiao Qin, the three old teams and three new teams, are indeed the strongest configurations of the China men’s gymnastics team at present. In contrast, the list of women’s gymnastics teams is relatively difficult to produce, because except Cheng Fei, Jiang Yuyuan, Yang Yilin and He Kexin, there are actually seven players competing for the remaining two places.
The most interesting thing is that table tennis and badminton are both "still hiding half her face from us behind her guitar", and the entry list has been delayed. The only exception is the women’s singles of badminton. Because of the unstable performance of the "newcomers", Zhang Ning, a gold medalist and veteran of the Athens Olympic Games, finally played with Xie Xingfang.
And some slightly unpopular events are still familiar names. In boxing, Zou Shiming plays in the 48kg class, while in Taekwondo, Chen Zhong, who is over 67kg class, strives for three consecutive championships, while in the 49kg class, Wu Jingyu, the upstart, guards it. In equestrian, Huatian has been hyping for too long.
