After O'Sullivan won the sixth World Championship of his career, fans in addition to endlessly commemorating this great moment in their own way, the biggest discussion is whether O'Sullivan can equal or even break the Hendry World Championship 7 crown record, the Rockets can continue to fire for a few more years, coincidentally, Sina Sports mentioned similar questions in the process of interviewing a number of industry insiders.
O'Sullivan's Chinese agent Li Bo revealed: "He told me in 2018 that he could still play for 5 or 6 years, so it should be 2023 to 2024." If you extrapolate from this, O'Sullivan's own answer is exactly 3 years or so, but this is O'Sullivan's perception of himself two years ago.
Pang Weiguo, the coach of the national team and a well-known snooker commentator, interpreted the problem from a professional point of view: "With his current state and participation strategy, selective participation, and maintaining his enthusiasm for snooker, I think he can play for at least three years, I mean competitive (time)." ”
Another interviewee is Wang Yinan, a famous snooker commentator at Five Star Sports, who believes that O'Sullivan's state has objectively declined a lot, but compared to the stubborn playing style when he was in bad shape before, there are many "compromises" in his current playing style, and his "compromise" can help him maintain the top state in the next 2 or 3 seasons.
The three industry insiders can be said to have given a consistent forecast, all of which are about 3 years!
As we all know, there is a famous saying in football that laughs and is generous: "C Ronaldo is at most popular for three years!" "So how many more years can the Rockets fire in the snooker world? I believe that the fans have their own answers in their hearts.
