The 2022 Snooker Masters have come to an end with Neil Robertson's victory, and the Champions League is also in full swing, but an event off the field has made many fans feel unbelievable, and mark Selby, who is now the world number one, has publicly stated that he is mentally ill.
As we all know, after Selby won the World Championship last season, the ranking also officially surpassed Trump to return to the world's first throne, but after the World Championship, Selby performed poorly, when the fans just thought that Selby was in a low period, he did not expect that he himself publicly broke his physical condition
During the Masters, Selby lost to Barry Hawkins 1:6, and many fans began to question the complete decline in Selby's strength, just when the outside world was talking about it, Selby released a dynamic on his personal social platform to give everyone a truth (see figure below).
Selby mentioned in the dynamics: I want to say sorry to all the friends and family who care about me, I let everyone down, now that my old illness has recurred, I am extremely bad, I try to confront him and then face you with the best face, but I find that I can't do it at all, I will immediately enter the treatment and become a better person.
As soon as the Selby dynamic was issued, it attracted widespread attention in the snooker community, and many snooker stars sent messages of condolence, but most fans still did not believe it, because everyone could not associate depression with Selby. As we all know, although Selby is controversial because of his own playing style, his personality and attitude towards life are still positive, and from the dynamics of daily releases, Selby's life off the field can be described as very happy.
In the face of outside doubts, Selby recently updated the dynamics to explain to the fans: the biggest difficulty I have overcome is that I personally admit that I have a mental illness, I realized that hiding the illness does not allow me to move forward, and now this burden has finally been taken from my shoulders, and I will not hide behind the mask.
In fact, not only Selby, many players in Snooker Sports have suffered from depression, everyone is most familiar with O'Sullivan, Dort and other people are also deeply affected, in addition to the impact of family factors, Selby blew himself up last season's World Championship final Audience booed and applauded it is also the key to the recurrence of the old disease, but also let him run to the lounge through tears to vent his emotions during the game.
What is even more unbelievable is that after Selby blew himself up and was deeply tormented by depression, some domestic fans not only did not send blessings but also added up their bad words, and the most watched in the major comment areas were added up to say that Selby tortured the players out of depression, Selby had bad reports, Selby pretended to be because of his recent bad results, and many other unfriendly remarks.
Objectively speaking, although some fans do not like Selby because of their style of play, they cannot add up to a player's bad words, for ordinary people suffering from depression is already difficult to recover, and it is extremely painful for an athlete, not to mention that Selby's achievements are also won by his own strength, he is destined to be a great snooker player.
Selby's choice to disclose this matter to the outside world this time must also be enough courage, although there are many people who do not like his style of play, but the game belongs to the game, life belongs to life, Selby does not need to apologize to the fans, in front of the body the game wins and losses are not worth mentioning, I hope that this "Leicester clown" can recover as soon as possible and return to the field in the best condition, after all, Trump is still worried about your position as the world number one. #斯诺克 #
