Winning the World Cup is the pinnacle achievement in soccer/football. Did Messi win anything like that? Let me put this into perspective. Cristiano is the best player when he is playing against 3rd tier competition. Messi is good and much better than Cristiano but he does not even come close to many great football players before him. We don't have to search far away from Missi's home country. Diego Maradona accomplished way more than Messi did unless Messi can win at least 1 World Cup in the future. In Table Tennis, it is the dream of any professional players to win the WTTC World Championship. As for Mr. Ma Long, this gentleman won 3 consecutive WTTC and therefore can be compared to any of the greatest TT players ever. Therefore, Messi can only wish he can accomplish 1/3 of what Ma Long did.
@@benthekeeshond545 You can't compare that. Table Tennis is an individual sport. In football you can be the best individual player, but you need a great team to win some tournaments and so on. Additionally a table tennis player can win more titles, because there are more tournaments. For example, in football the World Cup is just played every 4 years. Furthermore Ma Long can even win some team events easy, because China is by far the best nation in Table Tennis. Messi and his national team have much more competitors about the titles. Last but not least Messi won many Ballon D'ors, an individual award for the best football player of the year. So you can't really put Ma Long over Messi, if you can even compare them.
Alexandru Constantin I think most of the Chinese team went through an overhaul of rackets and this was ma long's first tournament with this new 5 layer wood racket. Hence he was practicing.
Thomas Thaxton The current ma long has passed his prime yet the fact that he is no longer be able to perform at his best doesn’t stop him from keep playing, and with high intensity as well.
Ma Long, the best in the world, playing a European player that he always beats fairly easily and prepares for the match way harder then him. Now we know why he dominates
Bend down to concentrate, then stand up quickly to relax the muscle, and give momentum for any movement. It is how they are trained to be ready to receive the serve.
Даже на трене он удар справа направо старается зайти глубоко вправо и ударить левой стороной ракетки, это о многом говорит, фанатам тенниса. Справа у него много хуже и вот вам совет, удар налево, серия конечно и затем направо, он просто не успеет и падет!!!
MA LONG won world cup champion again in 2024, what a miracle. 🥳🥳
馬龍！✌️
3:18 me when trying to cope with losing a match
haha probably ma long after losing to timo
1:38 the amount of speed he gets out of an effortless topspin is ridiculous. He looks like he could go on forever
3:23 the look in his face reminds me of ip man. so focussed.
Brilliant to watch these types of video. ML looked like he was having trouble with the left handed slow and short reverse pendulum serve!!
Ma Long is a super talented genius, Messi of TT

@@Poetti-pk5wl Agreed.

Did messi solo win any grand slam? Hes trash compare to ML
Ma Long now play pure Wood 5 Layers DHS :) Best Player ever. Incredible Speed
5:45 Funny how Timo is back in the stage chillin' while Ma Long is stressing out warming up for the semis

I wonder if ma long still likes table tennis
i think no one could reach the top of world without passion and interest.
Yes he does. He expressed it in words and action himself. That's why he continue to play even though he has gained the highest honors in table tennis!
He could stop anytime he wants and be honoured and revered in China, he only still plays because he wants to.

Amazing Video!
馬龍的努力，堅持，得到現在的榮譽，绝非僥倖，支持馬龍一直打下去，永不言休！✌️
你知道他们一天的训练费用么？

Ma Long, the best in the world, playing a European player that he always beats fairly easily and prepares for the match way harder then him. Now we know why he dominates
whatscreenname and still lost!
Kilesteaders United to loose is common. He is just a human! But still the best player in the world
Steven Zhang that's why I have a dp of him.😉
Mentally chinese team is still under pressure and no coach for them
Timo is significantly older, and has commented in various videos that that affects his training and preparation
great video. thank ou for sharing
Ma Long: Intimated?
Timo: umm 🥵
Very good video
I see timo and dima
1:46
Why does he bend down to receive a serve, but then stands up just before it comes? I've seen him do that in tournaments too.
To say that "I am ready"
Almost every player do that
Bend down to concentrate, then stand up quickly to relax the muscle, and give momentum for any movement. It is how they are trained to be ready to receive the serve.
If you do not stand up quickly, you will usually stuck in the negative response. Stand up put you in a positive and ready to attack position
Pro players do that to observe the serves of the opponents and thus react faster and more accurate. You can see better when your bend down.
Wow that was so crazy 💀👏
2:45 Timo looks at Ma Long thinking JEEEZ IM FUC.ED!!! He then turns to Jorg saying JORG IM FUC.ED!!! :DDDDD
Yeah, but in the Cup we know who won the match, eheheheh...
2:42 Timo Boll was like : wtf ... deja vu ? =)
Ma long dong

2:37 自分用
Con razón perdió Ma Long
Porque con razón?
WTF did he do at 6:03?
Nirbhay Pandya took it with the forehand but im not sure if its the video which is too slow or our eyes xD
Timo in background
who are their warmup partners? their coaches? cause damn those coaches need to be in shape
The guy in the yellow shirt is Lin Gaoyuan.
Кто играет с ним в паре, на трене, кто отбивает его мячи?
Zhou yu, вроде бы.
Dislikes for what???
I think that there is a group of people who go around TH-cam disliking all videos they see for no reason at all.
Dima sounds on the background :) umgh! umgh!
who haa, who haaa, who haaa, who haa, who haarg
뭐야 공이 안보이는데....ㅡㅡ
