The latest news on November 29, 2021, Beijing time, after China's post-00s star Yan Bingtao had no chance to go further in the second round of the British Championship, McManus believes that Yan Bingtao is not yet a real top player. Because his technical ability is not good enough, although he is the player who successfully won the championship by beating Higgins. McManus believes that Yan Bingtao still has a long way to go to become a real top player. If Yan Bingtao continues to maintain the current level of technology, he will certainly not be able to go very far. Maybe he can win the championship, but he definitely can't rule the game like a real elite player, which is the current situation of Yan Bingtao.
McManus: Yan Bingtao is not an elite player
Although Yan Bingtao, who is currently only 21 years old, has achieved good results, McManus believes that Yan Bingtao is not a real top elite player. McManus said: "Yan Bingtao did make a very good start, but I have to say that he is not really a top elite player in the true sense. He may be a good player, but he's not really good yet. In the real top level competition, there is a serious deficiency in his technical ability. His accuracy is good, but he doesn't have much to do when it comes to error correction and possession. That's the reality the young man needs to face, and if he's just going to play with his current athletic ability, I don't think he's far behind. ”
McManus: Yan Bingtao needs to get better
There are rumors that Yan Bingtao has the ability to win important championship titles on a regular basis, but McManus believes that he still has a lot to prove at the highest level of competition. McManus said: "For me, he's still not a good player, he's still within a more limited range of abilities. What he needs to add is that other top players have the ability, but he doesn't have it at the moment. He's very good at his job and good at controlling the situation, but I don't believe he can go very far if he's playing with his current competitive ability. Yeah, he's a Masters champion and I wish him good luck and a good job, but he has a lot to prove to me that you have to say what you see, that's what I see, but he's very good. It's just that he wants to go further and needs to be better. ”
McManus: Yan Bingtao needs to improve his strength
Judging by Yan Bingtao's current strength, he may be able to continue to win the championship, but McManus believes that his competition at the top level is still very limited. McManus said: "At present, Yan Bingtao's technical level and his achievements do not match very well, and what matches his achievements is his tactics. You know why? Because his current technical strength is not on the level of the top player, he can win because his tactical play is very good. But if your technical ability does not support your tactics, then your game will be very passive. His passivity against Higgins and Wollaston is that his ability to control the ball and correct mistakes in key moments does not give him the strength to turn the tide. That's the difference between him and the truly elite players, all of whom don't expect second-rate levels and first-class tactics to determine victory. They will definitely rely on first-class level and first-class tactics to win, which is why I say that Yan Bingtao's current level is limited. He's really good, but I think he can be better because only by doing better can you touch a higher position. Therefore, I hope that Yan Bingtao can do all this well in the future time and strive to become better. ”
