Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 27 (reporter Su Bin Lu Rui) the Chinese table tennis women’s team defeated Japan 3:0 in the quarter-finals of the Jakarta Asian Games on the 27th and advanced to the top four. Coach Li Falcon said that the current performance of several young players was in line with expectations.
The Japanese women’s team sent a second line-up in this Asian Games. Kasumi Ishikawa, ITO, Meicheng and Hirano Meiyu did not come. Wang Manqi, who was the first to take the stage, met the great challenge of Kato meiyou. The first game was reported at 5:11, but Wang Manqi, who adjusted in time, still met at 11:7 and 11:6 and 11:9 complete the reversal.
“The performance of young players is similar to what I imagined.” Li Falcon said, “the first game of the elimination match was very difficult to play. Wang Manqi was very good enough to carry it. At one time, she felt volatile and wanted to have a big problem. Slowly through self-adjustment and encouragement, there is still a lot of progress. In fact, this is also the place where we train young players.”
Wang Manji said: “After all, it is a knockout match, and the opponent is the Japanese team, which is a real match for me. The opponents in the group match are not very strong. They are a little nervous when they come up, and they are better when they hit the back.” In her opinion, she can do better, and she still needs to improve her adaptation to the stadium and personal skills.
Chen Meng, who came on stage later, defeated Ando minaime 3:1, Zhu Yuling defeated Maeda meiyou in three rounds, and the Chinese women’s team won the final four by 3:0.
Li Falon believes that the result of the game is relatively normal, and the progress of several young players in the Japanese team is also relatively large. Kasumi Ishikawa the progress of Heino Meiyu has driven these young players.
“(Japanese team) each team member has its own characteristics. If we don’t do well, we may lose. Serve of the young players in the Japanese team have their own characteristics. What puts great pressure on us is the receiving and serving. Our overall strength is still slightly higher.” Li Falcon said that the first two games were relatively tense, mainly in the process of receiving the serve. After problems occurred, the players seemed a little tight and not so confident. This level had to be continuously studied and solved.
Failed to play against the Japanese team with the strongest lineup, Li Falon felt a little “not enjoyable”. “Several players still need to compete in the real competition to see where the bottom line is. There is no problem with the skill and overall level of the athletes, but when there is a lot of pressure in the competition, the bottom line of the young players needs to be observed.” He said.
