This World Cup, Wang Manyu crushed the opponent 4:0 twice in a row and advanced to the knockout round in first place, I have to say that Wang Manyu has adjusted to the best state in the past two years.
In this game, Wang Manyu once again showed an almost inexplicable ability to hold the ball and protect the table, and fans also joked: The baby eel has such a strong ability to protect the table, can you protect me.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Meng has also qualified from the group before, and the dark line of competition for Olympic places between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng is still continuing. After winning this game, Wang Manyu's opponent in the next round is likely to be a foreign cooperation player, for Wang Manyu, if you want to get the Olympic quota, the best way is not to lose the foreign association, after all, this is what Liu Guoliang and Li Falcon and other leaders value the most.
After the game, Wang Manyu was also interviewed by the event reporter.
Reporter: Wang Manyu's last game was 4-0, which is equivalent to taking the lead in this group stage, so how did you prepare and demand yourself before this game?
Wang Manyu: Well, I think from my own point of view, I must have fought for both games, including the recent two fights against Batra, and she still has the ability and has a certain strength, so in the pre-match preparation, I also attach great importance to it, and I am also very focused, including when I was leading 2-0, I also very much wanted to play the whole game well.
Reporter: Actually, at the beginning of the second game, there was some little anxiety, so how did you decide to win the second game?
Wang Manyu: You are asking about the third game, I think it is normal to lead and fall behind, and the pre-game preparation also takes into account that both small scores and big scores may fall behind, so when you are on the court, you should let yourself focus and calm down, and then go to play every point, in fact, I don't think too much else.
Reporter: Then you mentioned that the third game is actually more scorching than the second game, so do you feel a little different from the second game?
Wang Manyu: Well, I think the third game is still a little anxious, in fact, at the beginning of the game, when I was ahead, I still thought about the game simply, and then the opponent was behind, but also strengthened this kind of fighting, I was in the middle and end of the game, I was not very focused.
Reporter: After these two group games, how do you feel about your mentality and state in the World Cup?
Wang Manyu: I think it's still good on the whole now, and then after going through the two games in the group, in fact, I can fully integrate into the game, because although the group stage is two games 4-0, in fact, every point is very tense and concentrated.
Reporter: The knockout round is four wins in seven games, how will you prepare for the knockout round?
Wang Manyu: Well, the players in the knockout round must have also experienced the group stage, and they will be in very good condition and have very strong ability, so I think it is better to be prepared for difficulties, or go all out and do your best.
I wish Wang Manyu to win again, and I also hope that the healthy competition between her and Chen Meng can make both of them better themselves.
