Fan Zhendong s German Cup debut amazed the whole game, defeating his opponent 3-0, and the German Embassy in China speaks out

On September 20, the German Cup 1/8 final ushered in a focus battle. Chinese table tennis star Fan Zhendong made his first appearance in the German Cup for Saarbrücken Club, defeating his opponent Sudi with an absolute advantage of 3-0, helping the team to advance to the quarterfinals successfully. This victory not only demonstrated Fan Zhendong's outstanding technical strength, but also set off a table tennis craze in Germany. At the beginning of the competition, Fan Zhendong showed the extraordinary strength of the world champion. In the first game, he played a exquisite backhand long ball many times, with a tricky landing point that made people unable to defend, and soon won the first game with a large score difference. Entering the second game, facing the opponent's counterattack, Fan Zhendong adjusted his tactics in time, controlled the rhythm of the game through changing landing points, and always maintained the initiative on the field. In the third game, although there were occasional mistakes, Fan Zhendong quickly regained the initiative with a beautiful middle-lane strong attack, and finally ended the battle with a huge gap.

This wonderful competition, which took only 20 minutes, made the audience excited. It is reported that tickets for this game have long been sold out, and the organizers have to temporarily add stands to meet the needs of fans. What is even more striking is that the German Embassy in China issued a special article after the game to congratulate Fan Zhendong on his outstanding performance.

Fan Zhendong's trip to Germany was not smooth sailing. When he first arrived in the Bundesliga, he needed to adapt to the elasticity of the table, the lighting of the venue, and the style of European players' strong confrontation. He even lost to the 302nd player in his debut. But the former world number one was not discouraged. With the help of captain Francesca, he extended the training time and quickly understood the tactical characteristics of European players. Now, he has fully adapted to the German arena and has become an indispensable core force for the team.

It is worth mentioning that Saarbrücken Club has become the "no. 1 seed" in the Bundesliga in the hearts of Chinese fans because of Fan Zhendong's popularity. Many domestic fans stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of the game, cheering and cheering for every score of Fan Zhendong.

With the successful advancement of the German Cup, Fan Zhendong will continue to represent the club in the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League three events. What is even more exciting is the National Games to be held in the Greater Bay Area in November this year. It is reported that Fan Zhendong will represent the provincial team in the competition, which may be his last appearance in a domestic competition.

At that time, famous table tennis players such as Ma Long and Chen Meng will appear. Although Liu Shiwen and Ma Long do not participate in the singles event, they will appear in the team competition. 31-year-old Chen Meng admitted that the National Games is extremely difficult, but as an Olympic champion, she is still a favorite to win the championship. What fans are most looking forward to is whether Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin can stage a "peak showdown" in the National Games.

Fan Zhendong used his strength to prove the excellence of Chinese table tennis and became an outstanding representative of Sino-German sports exchanges. Every game he plays is making history, and every swing is writing legends. Let us look forward to him achieving another success in the next game and continuing to win glory for the country!
