He's 30, injured, married, a dad. There's a whole bunch of faster, fitter kids coming up who have no responsibility other than to practice TT all day and aren't afraid of injury or over-working. No responsibility to anything but TT, but also none of the priority and life changing love that comes when you have a kid.
Sure, he was the best of all time, but I don't think he's coming back. Not really. But I'd be very happily surprised if he comes back for another year or two on the up and up.
I just don't think that's how the chinese national team system operates. It's not like Europe where ur a free agent and can do what you like, playing at 37, winning some and losing most etc.
Well Said! I agree! I also think that chinese end earlier becausethey have put in so much training in a Young age. Must be hard for the body and Maybe fun to try something else.
