Eilet Slather, a 27-year-old snooker in England, had this to say about Ronio Sullivan: he is the best snooker player of all time, but underpinning this is his greedy mentality and always want more championships.
Born in 1994, Slather officially moved to professional snooker in 2013. In his 8-year career, Snooker's results have been mediocre, and it was not until this season that he reached the top 49 in the world rankings. In his third year of transitioning to a professional event, he dropped out of the tour due to unsatisfactory results, and later returned to the snooker tour through QSckool.
Slather: Greedy mentality, always wanting more
Slather said That Roninio Sullivan's long-term and sustained success in snooker is crucial, but more importantly his strong desire to win a championship trophy, including mark Williams and John Higgins, who are also in the class of 92.
Slather said: "They are the best snooker players ever, and what underpins them is the greedy mentality, always wanting to get more, because they know that if they miss it, then they miss it forever. ”
They are all 46 years old and still rank in the top 10 in the world, with Roño Sullivan in third place after Max Selby and Trump, John Higgins 6th and Mark Williams 8th.
Slather: A lot of snooker players set their goals very low
Slather, 27, is still pursuing his first ranking title of his career. In his 8-year career, Slither's best result was the top 4 of the rankings. In this season's British Open, Slather played well, eliminating Peter Lanes and Wu Yize, and then 3-2 Trump advanced to the round of 16.
Immediately after defeating Ali Carter, who scored a perfect score of 147 in a single shot, he defeated Zhou Yuelong in the quarterfinals to reach the semifinals, but unfortunately lost to Gary Wilson 3-4 and missed the final of the ranking tournament. Slather said: "Now a lot of players have very low goals, they are just satisfied with winning a game or even reaching the final. ”
As a snooker player, if you don't aim for the top until you win the championship, then why would you compete? Slather finally called on all players to set their goal of reaching the championship.
However, snooker belongs to competitive sports and must speak according to strength. Without the support of their own strength, even if the goal is set high, it will not help. As world Number 1 Selby said: Who doesn't want to win the title when playing snooker, when I'm not in good shape, I think I try to win the game!
For the strong Selby, it is not easy to win the championship, so for those players with a large gap in strength, there are more things to test, not only if you have a greedy mentality.
