Everyone who studies table tennis seriously and their pets know what Wu Jingping is saying is true from the perspective of a CNT coach but it is also besides the point because Fan is not playing for China and what made Fan and Ma Long special was that at many points in their career, they didn't lose to anyone regardless of the occasion. It is the result and its effect on the league team that matters, especially in a country that takes its league very seriously, and part of the blame goes on Qiu Dang who could not beat Chirita and made the Togam‐Fan match a pressure decider for Duesseldorf when in other matches, Franziska, Jorgic and Truls picked up thr slack when Fan had his bad days for Saarbrucken. The fact that Chiritia beat Dang gave Togami a different level of resolve. Obviously he is precisely the kind of rally player who can give Fan trouble on an off day, moreso because Fan is increasingly relying on his rally abilities. Togami didn't lose the next day either, the difference was that Fulda beat everyone around him. Obviously this creates more opportunities for people who do not like Dang to criticize him.It feels like whenever the Chinese media tries to broadcast the match on a larger scale, FZD tends to suffer some losses![]()
