The latest news on December 15, 2021, Beijing time, after Trump lost 3-4 to Tom Ford and was out of the cold, snooker observer Chris commented on his performance. In Chris's view, due to the instability of the state and the decline in the level of competition, Trump's confidence has been greatly problematic today. Trump is currently unable to control the pace of the game in a situation where he is behind, and he seems to be at the mercy of his opponents. If the aberration in previous games was due to lack of concentration, losing to Tom Ford would deprive Trump of the opportunity to find an excuse. Because no one underestimates the ability of Merit.
Chris: Trump has lost confidence
Although Trump still has the ability to win the title and he may perform well in some games, his current confidence is not as strong as before. Chris said: "I think Trump has lost confidence, the kind of confidence that can help him win the big tournament title. If you've seen his performance this season, you'll believe that too. In the championship-to-title match, Trump was somewhat lucky, and we all know he wasn't really challenged. If he does meet a strong opponent, he may not win the championship. I don't think his current confidence is on par with the previous two seasons, he's just a little more confident than his opponents who can win at the moment. If you encounter a really strong enemy, you are likely to lose, which is the embodiment of lack of confidence. I think he's basically lost confidence. ”
Chris: Trump is in a very unstable state
As far as Trump is concerned this season, his form can be described as very unstable, and Chris believes that this has to do with Trump's playing style. Chris said: "I think the strength of accuracy and possession can determine the stability of a player's form, and the real most stable player in the Big Three is Robertson because he has done well in both areas. Trump is focused on accuracy, Selby is on possession and tactics, and their abilities won't be as balanced as Robertson's. In fact, Robertson and Trump played in the same way, but the stability of his back when he opened the possession was much better than before. Trump is currently following the path robertsons used to be, but judging by Trump's remarks, he doesn't seem to have any idea of changing his playing style. And that seems to be the reason why he is very unstable, he can be a player who breaks 100 in a game in a row, or he can be a person who does not perform 50+ at the end of the game. So it's normal for him to be unstable this season because when he's not on good accuracy, he simply doesn't have enough ability to get himself to the win. ”
Chris: It's normal for Trump to lose
In Chris's view, Trump's loss to Forde is a very normal thing, because Ford's ability is very good. Chris said: "If Trump's previous poor performance was because the low-ranking players couldn't put enough pressure on him to concentrate, then losing to Forde would make him lose all the excuses, because Forde is definitely a player who can give anyone enough pressure. So Trump's loss to Forde also proves the absurdity of Trump's previous remarks, and if you look at the match between him and Forde, you will think that Ford should win the game. Ford has always been one of the best players, he has the ability to beat any top player, and no player will be distracted when playing against him. So when the top player loses to Ford, everyone will be convinced, because there is no problem with his playing style and strength. After this game, I think Trump should reflect on it, not always making excuses after losing, but thinking about how he can complete the headwind turnaround when he is behind. This is crucial for top players, and if you're only going to make excuses for yourself after a game, you'll never be able to grow into the real greatest player. ”
