As the knockout rounds of the Macau World Cup continued, in the just-concluded 1/4 finals, Tomokazu Zhang played well, reversed his opponent strongly after falling behind 0-1, and defeated the world champion Carlberg to advance to the top 4.
You must know that Carlberg once defeated Liang Jingkun in the 16-8 game, and his strength is still very good. This time, Zhang Benzhihe was able to defeat his opponent, which is enough to see that his condition is very good, and it will have a huge impact on the next championship competition of national table tennis.
It is worth noting that after the game, although Tomokazu Zhang won the victory, his post-match interview with the Chinese audience was also questioned by many fans. On the other hand, his shouting and celebrating gestures in this game also caused a lot of controversy.
First of all, looking back on the whole game, it can be found that Zhang Benzhihe is still the same as the previous habit of playing, he is used to yelling after every quarter or even every ball scored, and his shouts even resounded throughout the stadium, I believe that fans watching the live broadcast will feel very noisy. On the other hand, every time after a victory, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's celebration was also very arrogant, pointing directly at the audience and roaring. This action is not particularly friendly in the eyes of some fans.
What's even more controversial is that after the game, because he felt that he was influenced by the live audience, he did not name and criticized the Chinese audience for thinking that there were too many flashes on the scene, which affected his performance. Although Tomokazu Zhang did not name him, I believe the fans are also very clear that this time the game is held in Macau at our doorstep, and most of the fans are going to the main forces of national table tennis, so the audience is basically our Chinese fans.
Therefore, Zhang Benzhihe's critical remarks are naturally seen as dissatisfied with the Chinese audience affecting their performance. In such a situation, although Tomokazu Zhang continued to attack the championship this time after the smooth success of the game, in the eyes of some fans, there was a feeling of winning and losing.
On the one hand, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's shouting affected the performance of his opponents, and on the other hand, he was dissatisfied with the flash of the Chinese audience, which inevitably caused controversy. To be honest, what Zhang Benzhihe usually does on the field does not give people a good impression, and it also seems a little high-profile, which is not in line with our Chinese's relatively low-key character.
However, at the same time, the issue of flash interference raised by Zhang Benzhihe should indeed be taken seriously. After all, in the previous World Championships, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong had been similarly troubled. These flashes can easily affect the players' offense and lead to losing points, and we also hope that fans can watch the game as little as possible when watching the game. Only when everyone works together to maintain the environment of this arena will the competition be more exciting.
