On February 24, Beijing time, the snooker European Masters came to the war report. Fan Zhengyi defeated Wilson 5-4 in the game to advance to the next round, Yan Bingtao was not in good shape and made frequent mistakes, but still beat Joe Perry 5-2 to advance to the next round.
In the post-match interview, Yan Bingtao mentioned his performance and said that he was not in a very good state: "In fact, from the first inning to the third inning, we both played very poorly, and there were many mistakes, not only me, but also him. Moreover, these are some simple mistakes. He led by more than 50 runs from the fourth inning, and then I reversed and won, and then it was better. ”
"But I do feel like this game, I'm not in good shape myself. Including the previous play mistakes are also more numerous. I think the main reason may be because there are games where we train recently, and then every day there are players from various countries who go there to train, so I haven't had a lot of time to train lately. ”
"I have also not trained well since the players' championship to now, basically, there are many people now, there is a situation without a table, for a long time in a kind of entering the ball room to start confrontation, and then did not practice much and did not feel much, causing the current state is not very good a major reason, up to ten days without formal self-contact, basically confrontation."
Yan Bingtao's current world ranking hovers on the edge of the TOP16, it is likely to miss the tickets for the World Championships and the tickets for the tour championships behind, in this regard, Yan Bingtao said: "The Player Tour I am more natural, not so urgent, if I can go to the best, I am still quite eager to keep the seed position before the World Championships, this year's World Championships, I hope that whether it is 15th or 16th, I hope not to play a cruel qualifier, this is what I hope to do at present, I hope to be able to keep my ranking." ”
For the next plan in order to keep the seed position, Yan Bingtao also said that there is no special plan, is to do a good job: "I think the game is not accurate in every game, I think there is a game that may play particularly well, but it is possible that a game can not play anything, I think it is just a little more natural, the game is like eating, it is a bite to eat, the game is also a game, it is not to say, come up and play a good result." It also depends on my own performance and all aspects, but I think I still do what I have to do, basically the opponents of the game are my own. ”
We also hope that Yan Bingtao can adjust his state in the next game to break through himself.
