Fan Zhendong finished the National Games with 1 gold and 1 silver, and his December itinerary was released: he will go to the Bundesliga to study abroad to upgrade and fight monsters

At present, all the table tennis competitions of the National Games have ended. In the end, Fan Zhendong won the gold medal in the singles event and a silver medal in the team event, ending his trip to the National Games with one gold and one silver.

In the post-match interview, Fan Zhendong also made it clear that he had no regrets because he gave his best in every game, so in the end he did maintain an unbeaten record. Therefore, although the team was not able to stand on the highest podium in the end, he had tried his best to perform his best, so being able to achieve this result is actually quite satisfying. After this trip to the National Games, there are actually two topics that fans are most concerned about. The first is when Fan Zhendong will return to the national team, and the second is where Fan Zhendong will go next?

First of all, regarding the question of returning to the national team, Brother Dong has answered it many times before. That is, the last Olympic cycle left him physically and mentally exhausted and very taxing on his body, so he has been adjusting, thinking and communicating during this period. So when to return to the national team in the future, I'm afraid it depends on whether the coaching staff can show sincerity to communicate with Dong Ge to solve the problem and ensure that he can get more protection in the next Olympic cycle, so that Dong Ge can participate in the Los Angeles Olympics without hesitation and win glory for the country. To put it bluntly, the initiative may still lie with the coaching staff, because so far we have not seen much effective communication between Wang Hao and Fan Zhendong.

On the other hand, according to the latest news announced by Fan Zhendong’s Bundesliga club, Dong Ge will return to the Bundesliga in December and play in three home games of their team. This means that after Fan Zhendong ends his domestic competition, his next main battlefield will still be the Bundesliga. This is actually a good thing. After all, everyone can feel from his performance in the recent National Games that even though Fan Zhendong has not participated in the national team for a year, his overall condition, including competitive ability, seems to be better than before during the national team, and his overall mental state is better.

To put it bluntly, Brother Dong's trip to the Bundesliga to study abroad this time actually helped him a lot. Including his mentor Wu Jingping, he also stated on social media that some of Fan Zhendong's newer technologies are still being continuously improved. So this time for Fan Zhendong, going to the Bundesliga to study is actually to upgrade and fight monsters, which will undoubtedly be of great help to the extension of his career. And from an age point of view, Fan Zhendong is only 28 years old now. If he can maintain a good competitive state, he will have a place in the national team at any time in the future.

So there is actually no need to rush. For many young players in the country, they should also go out and take a look. Because the Table Tennis Super League itself is played back and forth, those players do not have much help in improving their personal abilities and broadening their horizons. Going to Europe to upgrade and fight monsters like Fan Zhendong is of great help to the improvement of personal abilities. Young players including Xiao Shitou should strive for opportunities to go out and improve themselves.
