As one of the most outstanding players in Chinese men's table tennis, Ma Long's career has been very complete, and there has always been a lot of controversy about Ma Long, because Ma Long is now 36 years old, but he is still the core player of national table tennis, which makes some fans question Ma Long's reluctance to give way to young players, but is this really the case?
For this problem, Liu Guoliang also said, saying that the position is not to let out, but to beat the people in front of him, the reason why Ma Long is still struggling on the front line, it can only show that there is no young main force in national table tennis, but Ma Long, who is 36 years old, has entered the end of his career, it is undeniable that with the growth of age, Ma Long's state has begun to decline.
After winning the World Table Tennis Championships team championship, Ma Long was interviewed, in the interview, Ma Long said that this is his last World Table Tennis Championships, judging from Ma Long's statement, the retirement time has been clear, the team World Table Tennis Championships every two years, Ma Long will not participate in the next session, which also means that after the Paris Olympics, Ma Long will gradually leave the arena and start a new journey.
Ma Long's career has been very successful, all the honors have been obtained, after participating in the Paris Olympics, choosing to retire is also a good ending, after all, in the history of national table tennis, there are not many people who can be as long as Ma Long's career, fortunately, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong have grown up, Ma Long no longer has to worry about the future of national table tennis, and then it will be handed over to young players.
