In the Macau World Cup, Zheng Yijing, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were disturbed by huge off-field factors in the knockout round. In an interview with the media after the World Cup, Zheng Yijing said that the quality of many fans who watched the game on site needed to be strengthened, which caused her a lot of trouble in the game. Zheng Yijing is a contemporary of Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, and this veteran has quite a lot of experience in competition.
Zheng Yijing defeated the strong South Korean player Zhu Qianxi in the knockout round, so that she was able to face Sun Yingsha. In fact, in the game against Sun Yingsha, Zheng Yijing also showed a good ability to score key points. If the game presents a one-sided situation, I believe that Zheng Yijing will not be disturbed by too many off-court factors.
However, Zheng Yijing also showed her strong level of holding the ball when the score was behind. This made many fans watching the game not calm, so Zheng Yijing was disturbed by language, in short, Zheng Yijing heard some off-field voices that made her feel indescribable.
Zheng Yijing has actually participated in many competitions, whether it is the Olympics or the World Table Tennis Championships, she has almost participated in it, and this veteran can also be said to be well-informed. In fact, being disturbed by fans outside the stadium is also part of the game, if you simply hear the sound of cheering for a certain player, it will not make Zheng Yijing forget it after the game.
Every player has their own bottom line for accepting off-court interference, and breaking through a player's bottom line will indeed have an impact on that player. Zheng Yijing is a female player, but she heard the voice of a male player calling her, and if the fans outside the stadium continue to make personal attacks, I believe that it will be difficult for any player to calm down the game.
Sun Yingsha's former coach Chen Xi said after the World Cup: If a player can't withstand the interference of off-field factors, it means that she is not an excellent player. In his opinion, off-the-field factors are also part of the game, and Chen Xi can be said to empathize. Chen Xi also kicked down the equipment in the game because of the lack of calmness in the game when he was playing.
Last year, when Chen Xi interacted with the fans in the live broadcast, some fans questioned his unprofessionalism, although he has not played for many years, and although he has become a coach, Chen Xi still had an argument with the fans in the live broadcast, in fact, this touched his bottom line.
Both the coach and the player have a bottom line, and once the fans touch the bottom line of the coach and the player, it is difficult for anyone to calm down. Zheng Yijing is still like this as a veteran, which shows how much pressure Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are under in the game. Chen Meng also felt the pressure of Zheng Yijing in the semifinals this time, and Chen Meng heard the sound of fans cheering her on the spot.
Chen Meng is also an experienced veteran of the game, but he was reversed by Sun Yingsha when he was leading in the semifinals, and he needs to be strengthened in the key points of the single game. Especially in the last moment of the match with Sun Yingsha, it was originally Chen Meng's service round, if Chen Meng could grasp the service round, he would be able to overtake the score and drag the total score into the deciding game.
At that time, the interference of off-court factors was relatively loud, so that Chen Meng paused for a long time when serving, unable to calm down and think about the tactics of the service round. Chen Meng still had a chance to win in the semi-finals of the World Cup, and in the semi-finals, she was under a lot of pressure from off-court interference, which more or less affected her performance.
Wang Manyu was reversed by Sun Yingsha when she was leading 3-1 in the final of the World Cup. Wang Manyu has always had an excellent ability to resist pressure, but in fact, Wang Manyu maintained a very good game state at the beginning. Otherwise, she would not have been able to quickly take a big lead, and the focus of fans after the game was on the edge of the tiebreaker between the two sides.
Before the decisive game, Wang Manyu also had a gesture to wipe the side ball, but the referee directly ignored it at that time. Wang Manyu didn't ask the referee to reason, so he continued to focus on the game. But as the game progressed, she was subjected to too many interference factors, not only the language factor of the fans outside the stadium, but also the frequent use of laser pointers by some fans to interfere with the game.
In fact, the semi-final between Wang Manyu and Zhang Benmeihe was quite difficult, when Wang Manyu took the lead in the second game, he signaled a pause in the game when receiving Zhang Benmeihe's serve, and Wang Manyu pointed out to the sidelines, undoubtedly disturbed by the laser pointer.
The off-court interference encountered by Chen Meng and Zheng Yijing in the game, Wang Manyu has experienced it many times in the game. Wang Manyu's match with Zhang Benmeihe is the most crucial foreign battle, because this is a real tournament, and Wang Manyu will definitely miss the Olympic singles competition if he loses to his rivals.
Some fans directly shouted the voice of hoping that Wang Manyu would not win, and even cheered for Zhang Benmeihe. Although this created some difficulties for Wang Manyu, it did not change the direction of the game. Zhang Benmeihe said in an interview that even if he defeats the current national table tennis player, it does not mean that he can win the next competition.
Zhang Benmeihe still has a clear understanding of her own strength, and her strength is indeed inferior to Wang Manyu. However, the interference of off-field factors has a great impact on Wang Manyu, and Wang Manyu was interfered by off-field factors in the final, which can be felt even by fans who are not on the scene. Only Sun Yingsha was not disturbed by any off-court factors in this game, and it seems that Sun Yingsha's ability to resist pressure in the game is quite good.
Wang Manyu and Chen Meng also want to learn from Sun Yingsha, and being loved by fans is also a manifestation of the player's soft power, which can play an unexpected role in key games.
