Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation officially released a message, that is, Ma Long himself said, "In the future days, he will not leave the table tennis industry, and will always take table tennis as his future career development direction and goal." For this news, many fans, media and even sponsors have made their own interpretations, believing that Malone will first insist until the end of the Paris Olympic Games, and secondly, he will continue to develop in the table tennis circle.
For these two points, the author completely agrees with and approves. 1) Malone insisted on the Paris Olympic Games, which is a good thing for fans and the national team, the original men's line is now a bit weak, the opponent is getting stronger and stronger, Malone can insist on another session, which will undoubtedly have a positive effect on winning the gold medal. The only concern is Malone's injuries and fitness, after all, Malone will be 36 years old by then.
2) Malone will continue to engage in table tennis even after retiring. This is really gratifying, but don't underestimate this statement, for Ma Long's level of players, there are really not many people who continue to engage in table tennis. Guo Yuehua, the grand slam player of that year, Jiang Jialiang, the world champion, and Deng Yaping, the grand slam, all have experience in doing business in the sea, and the recent Qiao Yunping, Qiao Hong, and Wang Liqin have returned to the provincial and municipal sports bureaus to engage in politics. Wang Nan and Zhang Yining both have days to leave table tennis, but their husbands are very strong and can do anything they like.
If Malone is still engaged in table tennis related matters after retiring, he will only have two development paths, one is to stay in the national team as a coach, and the other is to enter the International Table Tennis Federation.
The first road "national team" for Malone, the internal conditions are extremely suitable, tactically changeable, experienced, invincible in the world of the full slam, sharing their understanding of table tennis to others, it can be said that it is no longer appropriate; but the external is a bit troublesome, the reason is very simple, the current national team coach, head coach and the chairman of the table tennis association are young and strong, will not leave the post in the short term, the future does not seem to see the possibility of promotion. That is, Malone's stay in the team to coach is not a big problem, but the road to future development seems to be a bit crowded.
The second road "International Table Tennis Federation" for Ma Long, the external conditions are extremely suitable, the Grand Slam everyone knows that no one knows, whether it is the International Table Tennis Federation or the possible Olympic Committee, it is certainly a great joy to have an international sports star like Ma Long to join. However, the interior is a bit troublesome, although Malone's English ability is not bad in the team, but to go to a bigger stage, may need to be further strengthened. In addition, Ma Long as the representative of China, it is difficult for the INTERNATIONAL TABLE TENNIS Federation to give him a bright future, after all, the world's strongest table tennis competition, the largest table tennis market is China, once the president of the International Table Tennis Federation or Chinese, then how can other countries play?
Malone's ability, emotional intelligence, IQ, and character are outstanding, although usually relatively low-key, but at the critical moment, Malone also dares to break out, and the future development can be said to be immeasurable. How to solve the above internal and external small problems is the time to test Malone's wisdom.
