Ma Long vs Yan An (Subtitled)

TableTennisDaily · Mar 22, 2013

Hey guys,

Youtuber, JaggedTranslates has done fantastic work translating the match between Ma Long and Yan An in the 2013 China Trials Stage 3. China's head coach Liu Guoliang gives his breakdown of the match!

Translation Note:
Liu Guoliang is rather challenging to translate here. The loud cheer of the spectators muffled quite a few of his words. Plus he makes frequent interjections to his own sentences and gets interrupted by the other commentator often. I'm pretty sure I've misinterpreted some of his words. I've tried to make intelligent guesses to the best of my ability. Liu Guoliang made analogies I wasn't too certain of, so overall I've made mostly literal translations of his words, word-for-word as he said them, and left them to your interpretations. I'm open to corrections.

If you cannot see the translations, turn your captions on

What did you find interesting?

Nice match more of this please

It is very interesting how Liu Guliang could analize this match. It seems he knows every tactics of both players.

Great match this one. I must say though Ma Long must be super thrilled by having won it as I'm not sure he was on top of this.. Haven't seen him so vunerable before. Can't help it to feel a bit sorry for Yan An!!

I think table tennis matches should be commentated by the coaches or at least by people with in-depth knowledge about the sport, because it does make the matches seem far more interesting for people to watch, which is only good for the promotion of the sport. All I hear on ittv these days is "What a shot", "What a speed", "What a Forehand" and so on. It does stir up some enthusiasm for sure, but it would be great if they also made a couple of cool points about technical and psychological aspects of the game.
By the way, Gavin Rumgay did a fantastic job as a commentator, I would love to see more of him.

Awesome match and great job translating.

Hey Lan. I spoke with Gavin Rumgay the other day, he will be commentating at this years WTTC 2013! So we sure will hear more of him!

Now these chinese commentary are as they should be, informative, insightful, educative.

But this one is the one I really hate so I always turn the sound off. He contributes nothing useful to the commentary, the things he say are obvious like, Ma Long's serve..., Ma Long's in the lead... good shot. Here we have a bit of replay... AHA !!! Oho ho hoho do we like this!? Dooo we like this? Ma Long was just like BAAANG! That's it that's it!!
And on top of that he really sounds like some old fart.

Anyone know his name??? I'm really curious to know this as he comments quite few matches.

Bollforte94 · Mar 24, 2013

Is it just me or does Liu Goualing only say that Ma Long is weak compared to Yan AN and only won because he has more experience....?

manuel_04 · Mar 25, 2013

Thanks. Will do that.

Mikael Berglund · Mar 25, 2013

I can't stress enough how great these videos are. It's a rare insight into the coaches of the CNT. Jagged has made a great contribution for the rest of us. Thanks!
PS. Awsome that Gavin will comment on the WTTC!
