The new year must also have a new atmosphere, and for the snooker stars, new goals have been set in the new year, and Judd Trump, who is now number two in the world, is not willing to show his ambitions.
On the eve of the New Year, many snooker players spontaneously recorded short videos to wish domestic fans a happy New Year's Day, including Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, Karen Wilson, Bingham and Judd Trump.
Of course, for Trump, the new year also means a new start, the previous two seasons of eleven crowns have become the past, and as the Masters are approaching, Trump recently showed his determination in an interview with a British sports show.
Trump said: "Last season I had no choice but to miss the Masters due to physical reasons, and now I tell me that I can only fully reflect my strength if I take the championship, I will not let myself down anymore, I must do my best.
As we all know, during the Masters last season, Trump and his friend Lisovsky were forced to withdraw from the Masters championship due to violations of health and safety regulations, and the three major competitions, as the most gold-worthy competitions, have always been Trump's insurmountable demons.
Fans familiar with snooker are well aware that although Trump has won 22 ranking championships, there is only a pitiful set of three major championships, which also makes it questionable by the outside world, and it is called "small ranking championship harvester" by the British media and fans.
The three major competitions have always been hailed as a key factor in the achievement of players, and O'Sullivan, the best player in Snooker, has bluntly said that a three-major championship trophy can be worth several ordinary ranking championships, but Trump, as the representative of the new era, has different opinions, and criticized O'Sullivan for not respecting the game in the show.
Trump explained in the show: "People always make the difference between high and low, but I would like to say that no player is qualified to despise the champions of all competitions, and all games have different meanings.
O'Sullivan's previous statement goes against the original intention of the sport, if it were me I would do my best to compete for the championship in all competitions instead of just focusing on the three major competitions, I would not deliberately hide my strength, and I would not treat the game with a dismissive attitude and perfunctory attitude, which is a disrespect for snooker itself.
Objectively speaking, the main reason why O'Sullivan does not take small rankings seriously today is because he does not have so much energy to go all out as he grows older, and Trump is at his peak, and there are still many opportunities to attack the championship in his next career.
But Trump, who is now very angry, believes that age is not a reason for players to give up the championship, and in Trump's mind, even if he is over 40 years old one day, he can still have excellent performances.
Trump concluded by declaring: I think I will win 50 ranking championships in my career, people may think that I am talking about it but I myself am taking this matter very seriously, I don't believe that after 40 years old I can't do a good performance, I don't believe that age limits my skills, in my mind there is no limit to winning or losing.
In fact, through trump's many remarks in the past two years, it can be found that this talented player has some more and more "confidence", not to mention whether he can win 50 ranking championships, I only hope that Trump can maintain the level of competition he has now after the age of 40.
