As we all know, the strength of Chinese table tennis ranks at the forefront of the world, and so far, it seems that no one has been able to win the overall championship of table tennis on our heads. However, with the passage of time, in fact, we can find in the competition in recent years that the table tennis technology of other powerful countries has grown and improved well, although there is still a gap with us, but we can indeed find that they are trying to narrow the gap with us in this sport. Our current strength is actually still in the state of eating the old money. In addition, many core players are getting older and their peak strength is gradually weakening, so at this time, we are extremely in need of newcomers to take over the heavy responsibility of national table tennis.
Before the WTT Macau Championship began, according to the latest news, the national table tennis player has another championship player to announce the decision to retire. I have to say that this is a heavy loss for Liu Guoliang. The 28-year-old mixed doubles champion Matt announced through the social platform that he officially withdrew from the national table tennis team, Matt was born in 1994, is a very strong player, his personal skills are very skilled, and his judgment ability on the spot is also admirable. And the main thing is that he is a rare chipper in the men's team. The more famous deed is that in the men's singles final of the 2012 National Youth Table Tennis Championships, Matt defeated the People's Liberation Army player Fan Zhendong 4-3 to win the men's singles championship.
In fact, Matt's decision to retire, many fans have guessed, after all, he is 28 years old, for professional athletes, the golden age of many events is around 24 years old, after all, most of the professional athletes are trained from an early age, so the training time is completely enough. The 28-year-old Matt announced his retirement in this situation, in fact, he also understood that his physical function and reaction speed were not as good as before, and he could not keep up. Although he decided to retire, he will not leave the career of table tennis. He also revealed that he will still engage in the cause of table tennis in the future, and from this point, it can be seen that his definition and path in the future are still relatively clear.
Moreover, as we said above, Matt is a rare chipper, which means that it is difficult for him to become a national table tennis brother, and can only become an absolute core sparring player. The combination of various factors led to his decision to retire. In fact, he has won enough honors and proved himself to the fans. And now, feeling that his ability was not enough to support his dreams, he chose a different path. It was actually wise, and many fans admired his decision. Matt knows what he wants and is more planned, so his retirement does not represent the end of his table tennis career, but the beginning of the table tennis career at the other end.
However, Matt's departure is a big loss above the national table tennis mixed doubles, before Matt Liu Fei's combination lineup, the strength is also very good, has caused Xu Xin Liu Shiwen also caused great trouble. But as the saying goes: the times are renewing, and the new people are pushing the older generation forward. Matt's departure also gave the other newcomers some opportunities to prove themselves, and finally, I wish Matt can go to the next level on the road in the future.
