The Table Tennis Super League is about to restart. Chen Meng returned to Shenzhen University Club to work with Sun Yingsha. This made many fans start to question the rules of the Table Tennis Premier League. Last year, they asked a club not to have two super players, so Chen Meng transferred from Shenzhen University Club. But how did you come back this year? It's hard to convince the fans.
Since Wang Manyu won the Women's Singles title at the World Table Tennis Championships, it was normal for Shandong Luneng Club to let Chen Meng leave. After all, both Chen Meng and Wang Manyu had singles titles, but there was no need for Chen Meng to return to the big Shenzhen club. Didn't Sun Yingsha win the World Cup final as well?
Sun Ying Sha is as strong as Wang Man Yu. Aren't they both super players? Why did Chen Meng join the club of these two young players? Can't you change clubs? Chen Meng is the first main player of Guoping and the oldest player. Can't you lead a club in the Table Tennis Super League alone?
It's always been a strange thing, not that other clubs don't have the money. On the contrary, clubs want cost-effective players on board. Are some fans naïve enough to think that Shandong Luneng FC will buy Sun Yingsha? Doesn't the club want it? Apparently not.
Manuel Wang and Sun Youngsa are the same at any club. After all, such a young player is still on the upswing of his career and could play a central role at any club. But Chen Meng is different. Chen Meng is the icing on the cake type of player, as demonstrated in the just-concluded National Championships.
If Chen Meng had beaten Han Feier in the team competition at the National Championships, his provincial team would not have been eliminated. Had Chen Meng been able to withstand the pressure and get a crucial score, Shandong would have definitely beaten Shanxi at that time. However, the scores of both sides were very close. At this point, it was difficult for Chen Meng to show his strength on the cake.
If Chen Meng had teammates like Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha in the provincial team, there would not have been a round of tournaments in the team competition. It can be said that different players have different game attributes. Chen Meng is a typical system player. Without the support of a mature system, it is very unlikely to compete for the championship.
Therefore, Chen Meng joined the Shenzhen University club to win the championship because there is a proven system here to support it. Sun Yingsha has worked with Chen Meng for many years. Chen Meng was lucky that he met Sun Yingsha late in his career and helped Chen Meng win singles titles. The only two titles Chen Meng won were by beating Sun Yingsha. Is this a coincidence?
Obviously, this was no coincidence. Chen Meng won the title on the condition that Sun Yingsha must advance to the singles final. If he had been replaced by another opponent, that would have been different. Why did Chen Meng win the singles title at the age of 27 or 28? Wasn't it because I didn't meet a good helper like Sun Youngsa? They have made it to the finals in the past, but it was their opponents who won the title in the end.
In 2015, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha worked together at the club. At that time, Sun Yingsha had just entered the national team. They have known each other for more than seven years. This year is an important point, that is, the seven-year itch. Sun Yingsha has also grown from a teenager to a young talent, and Chen Meng has entered the late stage of her career.
While both have aspirations to win the title, the competition in this year's Table Tennis Premier League is still very fierce. Although Chen Meng's fans hope that Chen Meng and Sun Ying Sha will join hands to recreate the glory of the Table Tennis Premier League in 2020. However, winning the title this season is even more difficult due to the lack of Wang Yidi.
Why hasn't it been as consistent as Sun Young Sha and Manuel Wong over the past two seasons? This is what many fans don't understand. Some fans think Chen Meng should not participate in the league this season. They are already nearly 30 years old. Unless they lead a club to participate in the league alone and with the young player Sun Yingsha, they can't participate in the first singles match. They have wronged veteran Chen Meng too much.
As some fans believe, Chen Meng is the player with the highest foreign winning percentage, so he should focus on international matches. If he doesn't compete in domestic tournaments like this, he won't be able to prove Chenmeng's strength at all. Fans love Chenmeng and think that when you're this old, you shouldn't continue to be stubborn. You should take care of your health.
However, Chen Meng still insisted on participating in this year's league. Although there were no international points in the league, Chen Meng thought he should still have a sense of presence. Otherwise, after a long time, the fans would forget about her. Although Chen Meng still wanted to win the league, this year's Chen Meng was different from the Chen Meng of two years ago.
While her friendship with Sun Yingsha hasn't changed, the tacit understanding still exists. However, as time goes by, Sun Yingsha has grown up and it's really hard for Chen Meng to keep a better focus on her game as time goes by. Fans are concerned that Chen Meng has an easy time playing against young specialists who are unfamiliar with her game.
This possibility still exists. Recently, Chen Meng has been too busy going home to attend events to prepare and train systematically. It was also very difficult to achieve good results in the league. However, it was good for Chen Meng to participate in the league. It is indeed a power of example. This year's Table Tennis Super League is about to start, but after such a long time, I don't see a few strong outsourcing players joining.
The best outsourced players participate in the professional leagues of other countries, so fans can only see matches between their own players. It is rumored that Korean player Tian Zhi Xi wants to join. The point is that the difference between the level of Tian ZhiXi and Ito Mitsunari is too big. How to improve the attractiveness of the league is also very important. I don't know what most fans think. Feel free to leave a comment to discuss.
