According to the latest news on December 17, 2021, Beijing time, Neil Robertson, who is ranked fourth in the world, said after reversing the 5-4 defeat of Yan Bingtao that he and his opponent Yan Bingtao played a wonderful game. Although his performance in the game has been very good, it is still very difficult to face Yan Bingtao, because the young player has created too many difficulties for Robertson. Robertson believed in an interview that Yan Bingtao's maturity has exceeded his age, and the reason why he can win the game is due to the gap between the two sides. He believes that if Yan Bingtao can strengthen the possession, he will be an invincible opponent.
Robertson: Yan Bingtao played a wonderful game
"Melbourne Machine" Neil Robertson won the match after nine sets of matches with Yan Bingtao, who won the strong duel with excellent possession and accuracy. After the game, Robertson said: "Yan Bingtao kept me away from my own rhythm, he brought me a lot of trouble during the game. His maturity far exceeded his age, and he looked like he had won the victory. The only thing he lacks in the game is consistent control of the mother ball. When he realized this, it was almost impossible for him to be defeated by anyone else. You have to admit that he is a very good player and he may be a snooker ruler in the future, if he can strengthen his shortcomings. At that point, I think Snooker will have his time. ”
Robertson: Patience allows me to win the final victory
When talking about himself and Yan Bingtao finally competing for the initiative of the blue ball and the pink ball, Robertson firmly believes that patience has won the final victory. Robertson said: "When I was playing defensively with Yan Bingtao, I had thought about directly scoring the blue ball to win some time ago. But I restrained my thoughts, I kept a little patience, and I kept waiting for a better attacking opportunity. Because I know how serious the cost of mistakes can be, I keep trying to find holes in the ball. After many competitions, Yan Bingtao left me the opportunity to attack the left bottom pocket. Objectively speaking, the goal is difficult because you can't be too thin and you need a just right angle and strength to control it. So I was just thinking about getting it in, and as for the things that followed, I didn't think much about it. Because no matter where the mother ball is, I always have the opportunity to play powder ball. I was a little lucky in the end because the location of the mother ball at the end of the stop was good, which allowed me to win the final victory of the game. ”
Robertson: I always like to play with Selby
After defeating Yan Bingtao, Robertson will compete with Selby for a place in the final final, and Robertson is very excited about his match with his old friend. He said: "Next, I'm going to play a very interesting game with Selby. I'm sure Selby will make up his mind to do a good job, but I beat him a couple of times last season and that gave me confidence in this game. He's a great champion and he's always able to cope with the game. No matter what kind of player he faces, he is always able to bring trouble and pressure to the opponent through his own tactics and rhythm. I love playing against him because it's a game that really faces a strong opponent. If you haven't played against him, you probably won't know how difficult it really is to play a truly brutal game. Before this game, I will do some accuracy and I will try to get my form back to the best level. Because only then will you be able to beat Selby. So let's see what happens in the next game. ”
