Liu Guoliang wants to strength and toughen the CNT!
In an article by Sina News Liu Guoliang said how he will now be more involved in the promotion, development and administrative work of the CNT and table tennis as a whole while Qin Zhijian will be doing the actual coaching of Men's A Team. In the past Liu Guoliang holds the two position in one and has been doing it all. This has put to much pressure on Liu as coaching the Mens Team was taking up most of his time. After the success in Rio, many started to worry about the CNT getting soft with players' for example players frequent involvement in show business. Liu Guoliang expressed, "The key purpose of founding the Chinese National Team is to win for the country, this is the first wish, which requires us all to have a rigorous system. From now on, for the team to get back to our glorious tradition, we have to be strict in rules using an iron fist. We must have a strict team atmosphere and discipline in the management, and to treat everyone equal." The new team's number one goal is to beat Japan in the 2020 Olympic Games as they are definitely a real threat to China. Liu Guoliang has said he would rather see Ma Long and Fang Bo team up with Germany in doubles and help them get a medal at this years World Championships than letting Japan win. Liu Guoliang said, as the newly Head Coach, he will accept the first punishment if China fail in 2020.
