  方博:“早晚都会有这么一天,将近16年的国家队生涯,能够身穿国服为国而战是我这一辈子最大的荣幸,需要感谢的人太多,能够得到所有教练和运动员的认可能够得到拥抱足够了,这个大家庭永远向我敞开门,足够了。”

  跟全运会相差不到十天 换了身衣服 身边还是你们 感谢你们对我信任 跟你们在一起是我最大的荣幸 对龙哥尊重和感谢已经不需要过多语音来表达 真的很遗憾昨天的比赛没有为球队拿到宝贵的一分 我能感觉到你对胜利那种渴望 真的抱歉🙏感谢头头在我力所不及的时候坚定的站在我的身前 你还是我最看好的 最单纯的那个大头 跟博哥更可以无话不谈 好像只有我们可以互相理解彼此 有时会傻傻分不清这是北京队还是鲁能队 但其实又有什么区别呢 我们一直都是一家人 一起从小到大的朋友希望我们都可以一直幸福下去 退队不是退役 输球也不是世界末日 银牌一样可以赢得尊重 我还是会继续我热爱的事业 只不过是换了一种方式 感谢为京鲁队和为我加油的球迷朋友们 你们给了我无限的动力 感谢儿子的到来 后面的日子我会为了你继续拼尽全力 因为你是我生命的意义

  他写道:“感谢魏桥创业对我的信任与支持,感谢每一位队友的努力与付出。感谢尹导对我们每个人的帮助与鼓励。包括团队的保障人员大家真的辛苦了。这个冠军来之不易,一路艰难拼搏到最后。嗯…还有个事我非常不舍的说,从今天开始我选择离开国家队这个光荣集体!感恩球队14年对我的培养与帮助,谢谢协会的各位领导,真心感谢每一位教练员,你们辛苦啦!陈导马导黄导刘导谢谢你们对我的帮助。总结有点多。退伍不褪色,退队不退役。我会将对乒乓的热爱延续下去!最后感谢一下所有球迷对我的厚爱谢谢你们也谢谢所有喜欢乒乓球的球迷朋友们(幸福和快乐是结局)。”

They're withdrawing from the front line. Yan An and Zhou Yu explicitly say they are merely leaving the team and are not retiring.

That means they will not represent China internationally anymore but will likely continue playing domestically, like Samsonov, Matsu-ken, Kishikawa, Mizutani et al..

Oh, Thanks for this, I thought it was some issue with the team or the bureaucracy cos I thought 28/29 was too young in CNT male terms, but it appears they are taking the hou yingchao, shang kun route cah both of them still played in the provincial games, I wish them good luck, Perhaps this will fasten the development of the 15-21 year old kids like Zeng Beixun, Lin Shidong, Xu Yingbin etc cah Japan are probably ahead of China with youth development at this point, I get that China has the numbers but too many promising youths like Niu Guankai never fulfilled their potential Which is something the team one Day has to do some soul searching about
