The match between persson and Primola at the Beijing Olympic Games in persson is like the reappearance of table tennis history in the past 20 years. 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, persson has been the European singles champion and reached the quarterfinals of singles. At that time, primorac 1987, who represented the former Yugoslavia, was already the runner-up in men's doubles at the World Table Tennis Championships, and won the runner-up in men's doubles at the Seoul Olympic Games. He was less than 20 years old. In the following years, they gradually reached the peak, and persson won the World Table Tennis Championships (19 1) and the World Cup (1965438+). Unexpectedly, 20 years later, they will meet in the quarter-finals after the six Olympic Games. Xu Yinsheng once said: persson's ball is really good, but people are more honest. "Criticizing" Lao Pei's honesty here means that his brain doesn't turn fast enough when he plays ball, which is slightly worse than Lao Wa and Liu. Judging from this Olympic Games, he has changed more when his speed and strength can't be compared with those when he was young, which means "his brain is better." The battle with primorac in the Beijing Olympic Games was once retreated to COSCO Taiwan Province, and persson was not dominant, but persson showed its old advantage in Taiwan Province's small ball and serve. Of course, persson can't compare with Laowa's record in Athens. Marin and Bohr, who were won by Lao Wa, were superb masters, but persson did not achieve so much. Today, in the semi-final, he played against Wang Hao, the top seed of the Olympic Games. If he can win a game, he will finish the task. Lao Wa's state in Athens is that he can lose to players from other countries, but he must prove that he can still win in front of China. It seems difficult for persson to accomplish this miracle this year, and we can't expect him to go further at the age of 42. History reversed on 19. Let's get to know this "persson on strike" again: at the Dortmund World Table Tennis Championships on 1989, persson won four China players in a row, including Xie Chaojie, Xu Zengcai and Yu Shentong, and joined hands with Lao Wa in the men's singles final. At that time, it was a name that made China players "scared"; Sweden can beat China 5-0 in the team final, and it is very important for persson to reverse Chen Longcan in the third set when the score is far behind. At the 1993 World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg, the Swedish men's team once again pressed China who wanted to win back the Swahilin Cup, and persson won Wang Tao in the third game, laying the foundation for victory. Of course, in the team competition of the 2000 World Table Tennis Championships, he even helped Sweden win back the team gold cup with Kong and Liu, and Lao Pei fell to the ground on his back after winning Liu in the final set. This must be one of the last scenes that Liu wants to recall. Persson, a good man, never said "playing big cards" in persson's dictionary, and even he never defined himself as "big cards". During his visit to Changchun in May this year to participate in the China Table Tennis Open, he gave full play to the word "approachable". As long as he walks out of the training ground or the competition field, he will never refuse anyone who asks for autographs and photos. No matter how many fans there are around him, he will satisfy them one by one. Before the reporter went to persson to ask for an interview, he was taking a photo with a boy. Then, he took out a stack of signed photos from his bag and gave one to the boy. To the reporter's surprise, persson then smiled and handed the reporter a signed photo. A closer look shows that it is not a photo, but a printed postcard, but the signature is signed by Lao Pei with a pen. In the photo, he is swinging backwards and fighting bravely. Unexpectedly, at the Olympic Games a few months later, he found the feeling and state in the photo. Persson told reporters at that time that the biggest opponent in his eyes was Wang. "He is my biggest opponent and my respected opponent." But now, if he wants to challenge his most respected opponent, he has encountered an almost insurmountable obstacle-Wang Hao. "I will consider retiring after the Olympics. Maybe I will go to China as a coach! " Persson's words at that time still seem to ring in my ears. ● Good Luck persson Behind a successful man, there is always a successful woman, and behind a successful man, there is always an inconspicuous partner. Lao Wa has become a great master, but persson is easily forgotten. There was indeed a time when he "retired", left the stadium and went to Qatar as a coach. However, it took Sweden 10 years to train Raul's successor. Hakanson, who was called a "newcomer" at that time, retired earlier than Lao Pei, the most threatening player in Sweden. Some people say that Lao Pei made it to the semi-finals with a good draw. There is no China player on this line, but when she was about to lose to samsonov, she was lucky on the key ball. But this statement is hard to hold-did Bohr meet a player from China when he went out prematurely? Persson's talent and years of hard work are the best weapons for him to enter the Olympic semi-finals at the age of 42. It is not easy to become a classic star in sports. Talent is of course indispensable, and persistence is sometimes more important. Lao Wa became a celebrity in the table tennis hall. With this performance, plus the World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup titles that persson has won, he has almost reached the level of being on an equal footing with Lao Wa. He relies more on persistence. It's a bit like Paolo Maldini and costacurta of AC Milan in the football world. The young polo team is famous all over the world. Ke Lao retired at the age of 465, and 438+0 is unforgettable with years of hard work. With this performance, persson will become a classic before retiring, and he will find his immortal position in the history of table tennis with his persistence and skills. After beating Primola 4-/Kloc-0-0 to reach the semi-finals of men's singles, when a reporter asked persson whether he would participate in the London Olympic Games four years later, the veteran who happened to be the same age as Lao Wa when he announced his retirement said, "Oh, yes, this will be my last Olympic Games. I have participated in all six Olympic Games since table tennis. I think this is enough. " Four years ago, Lao Wa broke many glasses in Athens. Now persson of the same age is about to face Wang Hao. Can he achieve more than Lao Wa? Persson said with some leeway: "Shi Lage in 2003 and Ryu Seung-min in 2004 both won the China champion, but they didn't last long, and China people still ruled the table tennis world. China's wall is hard to break, but it's not impossible. There are two China men's singles champions in history, two Koreans and one Swede. I think I still have a chance. "
