Manu: Hendry could not resist the "temptation" of snooker before he returned, and O'Sullivan explained unprofessionally but very open-mindedly.
McManus, who previously partnered O'Sullivan at the Northern Ireland Open studio, said he was lucky to learn the unknown side of O'Sullivan, the best O'Sullivan in snooker history, and that he was a "good old man who strives for perfection in everything". O'Sullivan lost to ordinary junior Yan Bingtao in the decider of the 16-8 match and missed the final of the tournament for the fourth consecutive year, but he did not show any "negative or inactive or angry" side because of this defeat. This open-mindedness was enough to shock and admire Manu.
O'Sullivan is no longer a guest in the European Sports Live Room once or twice, based on experience, should be suitable for this job, but for his level of interpretation, McManus bluntly said that as poor as his own skills, he is not good at opening the conversation box on the performance of the players on the field, if he does not speak, he will follow himself to shut up and have nothing to say.
Manu told Snooker that O'Sullivan is actually a very humorous and good player, O'Sullivan's understanding of winning and losing is not at all at the level of simple wins and losses, and not many players can do what he does, still smiling and praising his opponents after a bad defeat. Such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere can help Manu and the other party to quickly integrate into the "live commentary".
Once he became acquainted with O'Sullivan, he discovered that O'Sullivan was a particularly pure, perfect,simple character. In the process of commentary, when he saw others play a wonderful ball, he always humbly said that he could not do it. Manu also revealed that hendry chose to make a comeback because he could not help but itch his hands when he explained that he saw that some players often played some wonderful good balls.
