The next day, Kong Zhendong embarked on a flight from Amsterdam to the capital via London.

He breaks up with Victoria and Madeleine in London and meets again in the capital.

At seven o'clock in the evening of June 11, capital time, Kong Zhendong's flight landed at the capital airport.

Kong Zhendong made a special trip to contact the domestic national team before returning to China, Coach Yin Xiao was vague, it seems that the domestic atmosphere has changed somewhat, and he does not need to return to the national team for the time being, and will be arranged by the capital team first.

So after Kong Zhendong returned to the capital airport, the first thing he saw was his teammates Zheng Zheng, Ye Ying (Ye Xiaoya), and Guo Bing, who was getting stronger and stronger, after a nearly year of absence.

Although the national team did not go back temporarily, Liu Guobang and Wang Fei, who were closest to the national team, still rushed over to pick up the plane together.

Kong Zhendong smiled and hugged everyone one by one. The feeling of stepping on the capital land again after a year's absence, and hugging everyone intimately really made his soul a little unable to hold back tears.

Although he and Liu Guobang had a private reunion in Gothenburg before and after the World Table Tennis Championships, when they returned to China and got together again, it still felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a year.

Knowing that Kong Zhendong was about to fall into jet lag, Liu Guobang and Wang Fei did not continue to entangle, but solemnly, Ye Ying, and Guo Bing accompanied Kong Zhendong to have a simple meal in a noodle restaurant near the capital team.

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "I'll come to the old capital to fry noodles!" I haven't tasted this in almost a year! ”

Guo Bing said with a smile: "I see that you have grown a lot of fruit in this year abroad, is the bread and beef over there really more nutritious?" ”

Kong Zhendong smiled: "No matter how long it is, it's not as good as you, you were originally a cow, and now that you have practiced martial arts at the Capital Sports School, you feel like a leopard." ”

Guo Bing said with a smile: "For those of us who practice martial arts, growing the body is a trivial matter, and the most important thing is the improvement of martial arts cultivation~"

Ye Ying couldn't help but knock Guo Bing's head with chopsticks and said, "Can you not be poor?" Be careful, I won't help you ask the rest of the team out to play. ”

Kong Zhendong said curiously: "Other opponents? Does Guo Bing still play with the Capital Team often? ”

Guo Bing and Ye Ying were a little shy for a while.

Solemnly poured a cup of tea for each of the few people and said: "Zhendong, this year, the biggest change is not only you, but Ye Ying, the girl." She joined the Capital Team later than I did. But just last month, the second team of the women's team of the national team recruited a group of potential players around the age of fifteen, and she played it out and was successfully selected. ”

Kong Zhendong was surprised: "Xiaoya, have you entered the national team?" This is a big happy event, why didn't you say it before? ”

Ye Ying said shyly: "I don't think it's great!" Or before last year's Olympic training camp, you had an effect on our special training at the Zhengding training base, and several of our girls were selected for the national team! ”

Kong Zhendong nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Xilin, the head coach of women's table tennis.

Chinese women's table tennis is now in full swing, but he can still think of being in front of him, start the cultivation of reserve talents, and use his thinking of being prepared for danger in times of peace to the extreme.

Among the potential girls selected by Zhang Xilin in various provincial teams last year, Kong Zhendong found several epoch-making good seedlings.

Ye Ying is only counted among these girls as players with world champion potential.

But the potential above her is Wang Lan, who has already shown mature combat power in Liaodong, and another Zhang Yining, who is still a little thin, but has the technical background of the Great Demon King.

Kong Zhendong asked, and sure enough, both of them were selected for this national team.

Ye Ying said with a smile: "Last year, we were the girl who was trained by the Porter, and you paid the most attention to Wang Lan, Zhang Yining, and the little princess of our capital team, White Lotus." This time, several of us were selected, only White Lotus, the head coach said that she had good potential, but she was too young and too thin, so she stayed in the capital team to continue her training. She is now truly the only jewel of the capital's women's team. ”

Kong Zhendong also has some impressions of that girl, and remembers that she will also be a good player in mixed doubles in the future.

There are not many female players who can play mixed doubles well and have good looks, and if there is a chance in the future, Kong Zhendong is willing to give her another guidance.

Of course, if she is trapped in Xiao Ma's love network again in this life and can't extricate herself, then there is no need to spend energy on training.

After chatting about the women's team, Kong Zhendong led the topic to the men's team.

Although Zheng's father, Coach Zheng, is only a coach of the capital team, his coaching experience in Europe allows him to talk to Mi Xingbang and many coaches of the national team, which can be regarded as well-informed.

He sighed solemnly and said: "Speaking of the men's team, compared to the women's team, it is really two heavens of ice and fire." Although the women's table tennis lost the women's singles gold medal at the peak of her personal strength, making South Korea's Hyun Jinghe the first to achieve the Grand Slam of women's singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles, and women's team at the World Championships, but the domestic treatment of Deng Yalin and the Chinese women's team is still relatively tolerant. I hope they will be able to regain their strength at the Asian Games next year. ”

Kong Zhendong nodded, and it is precisely because of such a relaxed and understanding external atmosphere that the head coach of the women's team, Zhang Xilin, can have enough say and firmly promote the cultivation of the new generation of talents.

said solemnly: "The fiasco of the national men's team this time has no way to escape the criticism of the media. Although your Swedish league title, as well as the best newcomer, best player, and best overseas player, offset some of the media firepower, there are still plenty of open and hidden attacks on the coaching staff and players. ”

The noodles in the restaurant were quickly served, and after several people stirred evenly, Guo Bing swallowed a big mouthful, chewed and said: "It's been almost a month since the World Table Tennis Championships ended, and these indiscriminate bombardments haven't ended yet, and I, an outsider, can watch the excitement all day long." ”

solemnly poured some vinegar sauce into his bowl, and then said after stirring: "Brother Zhang Lei has now become Zhang Lei's guide, he returned to China not long ago, as the main force of the loss, he announced his retirement from the national team and returned to the capital team to coach." He is now responsible for the training and management of the Capital Youth Team. ”

The dignified world champion, the pinnacle of the horizontal board in the national hands, Zhang Lei's belonging is actually only the youth team coach of the local provincial team?

Ye Ying then explained: "Not only Zhang Lei, Ma Wenhua of Jinmen, as the first brother of national table tennis, whether it is singles or team, he has lost to European players, he is also the main force of media bombardment this time, he also announced his retirement, it is estimated that after representing Jinmen to play this year's National Games, he will go to Dongying to play in the commercial league." ”

Ma Wenhua was also forced to retire?

As the first brother of national table tennis, at the lowest point of national table tennis, he has always been on the front line against European and South Korean opponents, although the results have not broken through, he can definitely be regarded as a banner of national table tennis in this era.

Unexpectedly, the flag will also be put away one day and return to his hometown.

Kong Zhendong asked: "The two were forced to retire, and only Wang Tao was left as the main force of national table tennis, how happened to him?" ”
