Alan: Wednesday was a good day for me
In Allen's opinion, Wednesday was a very good day because it made him feel happy. Allen said: "I'm not going to give too many details, but today is really a good day for me. Snooker's results aside, but I had a very good morning and the outcome of the trial couldn't have been better. I don't have to continue worrying about my life as much as I did before, it's a positive sign that maybe I'll get some quiet life in the future. I will not suffer from that period of time again, which will be very helpful for my career. ”
Alan: I wasn't prepared enough before the game
Although not in good shape during the game, Allen said he had trained very hard, although he admitted that he was not fully prepared. Allen said: "I didn't finish this training until 12:25, so it might not be the ideal preparation for the day, but I practiced really hard before that. Today's snooker game, I just wanted to enjoy the game because my main win was on Wednesday morning. In fact, I'm not where I want to go because there's still a lot to work out, but today is an important day for me. I'm really happy to be in the race, win or lose. People will criticize me for that because I have a chance to win a race in one of the biggest tournaments, but you don't look too disappointed, but I don't care. I'm going home to see my daughter, which is more important to me. ”
Alan: I didn't do very well today
Looking back on this great showdown, Allen thinks it's normal to lose because Trump was the better player in the game, though he still has some disappointments about the outcome. Allen said: "Obviously I was disappointed with the result because I had a good chance in the last set but I didn't take the chance, but overall Trump was the better player in the game. Objectively speaking, I've done well enough in this game because I'm not in perfect shape. But I've always persevered and am proud that I'm still able to be in the game because I didn't perform well and he played very well in the game. In such a situation, we were still able to play a tiebreaker, which was a very good result, although the result was somewhat regrettable. In fact, I also felt a little unwell today, so I wasn't in the best shape either, so today's race was a bit tough for me. But for professional players, you always have to accept that fact, because that's part of your career. ”
