legend......

 

[Mr. RicharD]

an old match, but again as I said before. He changed the sport. He is a legend, but cannot compare to the players of today. They are so much better because of what he did to the game.

Wow the last shot to me is something beyond imagination and only very few players on the planet could come close to excerting that kind of composure. Waldner hooks the ball wide, you can see he knows Liu can only go around the net, and its almost like he can sence Liu will get the shot on.... so he prepares before it. And nice and easily blocks across without moving.....

For me thats one of the best well rehearsed rallies ever! Its reminds me of Eric Cantona's lob against subderland. Watch his composure, it's like he knows the ball is going into the back of the net as soon as its left his foot.

Haha nice one Dan, that is a great goal indeed. Although Cantona should've realized that he was still just a football player...

Thats like saying jesse owens is not as good as usain bolt, obviously bolt is faster but in his time owens was equally as dominant, who is to say owens would nt be as fast as bolt, with modern training, tracks equipment,(enhancements) so if waldner played now and was 21 do you think he would not attian this standard.. of course he would...but he cant as he is 46....

The last point is just soooo painful to (coach) Liu

Yeah I like a little bit of arrogance when it's appropriate as well

 

[rhonis]

haha i love the match. 1: The armpit service. Liu puts his whole arm next to the table. 2: Is wang liqin sitting on the bench for the chinese players. 3: I love it when Waldner is hammering away on spinny balls. Question who is winning this match? 1-1 in sets right?

 

[harrybelafonte]

waldner beat lui for the first time 2-1after being 20-18 down....in 3rd, I dont think he lost to him again ,,,,then lui retired about 2 years later....

 

[lgreggs]

Incredible last point. The whole match is great to watch. You can the players constantly thinking tactics.

 

[harrybelafonte]

brilliant , total demolition of a player he struggled to beat,,, even the next end he had to save match points, but never lost to him again... bye bye liu....

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Great to see. Waldner is amazing and intelligent. And fun to see Eric Cantona's lob. The way he sets it up like he is about to kick hard and then just puts touch, and as soon as it is in the air, everyone else is still moving and he stops like the ball has already gone in and is posturing. The celebration is very funny.

 

[harrybelafonte]

Not when your a sunderland fan,, like moi....great goal though
