Tomokazu Zhangmoto seems to be regressing more and more. WTT Frankfurt Championship 2023, Lin Yunru defeated Zhang Benzhihe 3-1 to advance to the men's singles semifinals, and Zhang Benzhihe was beaten until he stuck out his tongue helplessly.
Fortunately, Zhang Benzhi and his mentality are good, and after the game, he once again offered his famous words to comfort himself: table tennis should not be, table tennis is like this, if you can win No. 1, you will not lose to No. 5 and No. 6, nor if you lose to No. 5 or No. 6, you can't win No. 1, if you lose, you will put it aside, today is today, yesterday is yesterday, tomorrow is still tomorrow, day by day from scratch.
However, Zhang Benzhihe's mother Zhang Ling, she doesn't have such a good attitude, and when asked by the familiar German media about her son's loss, Zhang Benzhi and his mother said impatiently: We don't have the opportunity to train with the Chinese table tennis team.
Some time ago, Zhang Ling hoped that his son could represent the Sichuan team in the National Championships, but was ruthlessly rejected, and Lin Yunru once trained with the national table tennis for a year, which was acquiesced by Liu Guoliang, which is also the thing that Zhang Ling envies the most.
Zhang Benzhihe's mother, Zhang Ling, is a former main player of national table tennis, and has been teammates with Qiao Hong and Deng Yaping. However, at the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships, she quickly lost her main position due to losing the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles competitions in one day, including the women's singles to Japan's Shizuka Sato.
Two years later, the 23-year-old chose to retire and move to Malaysia as a coach. Two years later, she and her husband Zhang Yu made a decision to go to Japan as coaches.
Although his mother used to play for the national table tennis, Tomokazu Haramoto chose to represent Japan in his competitive career after showing his super table tennis talent.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ling has always hoped to provide a better training and competition platform for his son, and Zhang Benzhi and his mother have always hoped that their son can train with the national table tennis, even if it is to train with the Sichuan team, she is very happy.
She even tried to get her son to participate in the Sichuan Provincial Team Championships out of this expectation. However, the head coach of the Sichuan team did not consider this decision appropriate, and they gave priority to homegrown players.
Zhang Benzhi and his mother once said a famous sentence: It is to train in China for a month, which is equivalent to training in Japan for a year, for which she even kept a Sichuan hukou for a time, just for the convenience of her son to come back to train, but a few years ago Zhang Ling also became naturalized as a Japanese citizen, so far, Zhang Benzhi and his desire to return to Sichuan for training has been completely disappointed.
I have to say that Zhang Benzhi and the family's abacus are too loud, and Zhang's mother doesn't have to envy Lin Yunru, after all, there is still an essential difference between the two.
