Zhang Jike commented on Cai Zhenhua in two words! He publicly stated his stance on making further contributions to the national table tennis: I am also capable!

On October 25, 2025, Zhang Jike and his mentor Cai Zhenhua attended the opening ceremony of the Zhejiang Table Tennis Super League (Shaoxing Xinchang Small Ball Center). Cai Zhenhua, the leader of national table tennis from the trough to the revival, is still in high spirits. He once again joined hands with his disciples to attend a table tennis event. Such a scene is really rare!

Cai Zhenhua can be said to be the number one hero of the national table tennis in the past 30 years. Without his efforts to turn the tide, Liu Guoliang would not have been able to win so many championships during his tenure. No, until all the dividends created during the Cai Zhenhua era were consumed, his true abilities were revealed, and he finally withdrew from the historical stage of national table tennis by "voluntarily resigning". After completing this platform, Zhang Jike was interviewed. When talking about his impression of meeting his mentor again, he gave two words: "awe". This comment is rare!

Cai Zhenhua worked hard and achieved great results, but the last stage of his tenure at the General Administration of Sports was not happy. Since Liu Guoliang took over his position as head of the Table Tennis Association, the master and apprentice have never had any public interactions. Kong Linghui and Zhang Jike are also far away from the mainstream attention of national table tennis, and meritorious coach Wu Jingping is even targeted by Lao Liu and his gang. If there is no contradiction, then no one will believe it. And as Gou Zhongwen's big fish in the sports circle were taken down one after another, Cai Zhenhua, who escaped unscathed, was finally cleared!

In addition, Zhang Jike also took this opportunity to express his determination to make new contributions to the national table tennis! He said that he came to Zhejiang this time to help cultivate more talents, especially those who can surpass himself: "My goal is not to copy, but to ignite (players' passion and strength beyond themselves). I also have the ability to build a healthy and professional platform for children to help them realize their dreams and contribute to the future of national football." Jiang Lili."

Zhang Jike once said during the live broadcast that he had hoped to reach the 2024 Paris Olympics, but many accidents happened during the period, such as his head coach Xiao Zhan being withdrawn without being notified. Many people believed that this matter was closely related to Liu Guoliang. Zhang Jike and Ma Long were both born in 1988. The Dragons can persist until the Paris Olympics. The "Fastest Grand Slam" theoretically has that kind of strength, but fate plays a trick.

Zhang Jike is full of regrets about his career, but fortunately, he was able to transfer his love for national football to youth training, and did his best to cultivate more talents for the country and plug the talent gap. Previously, he discovered that a little fat man was very talented and was certified by Fan Zhendong. It can be seen that Zhang Jike's statement in Zhejiang this time was not just a whim, and everyone also hopes that he can stick to it.
