The First Close-Door Training Camp of the Quad

The Chinese Men's Team is training in Shenzhen.

While the 2017 Korea Open is in full swing, the Chinese are training hard in the close-door training. That's why the Chinese are not in Korea Open but the competition is fun to watch as many rising young Korean players and Japanese players are there. Of course there are also the experienced players like Timo Boll, Gao Ning, Feng Tianwei etc. Follow the Korea Open at ITTV!

Back on track, Liu Guoliang post some pictures about the close-door training on his Weibo yesterday. It started with an evaluation of the 2017 Asian Championships.

They also listed and ranked the potential opponents in 2017 Worlds. The first tier of opponents included Jeoung Young Sik, Chuang Chih-Yuan, Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Jun Mizutani, Timo Boll, Valdimir Samsonov and Marcos Freitas. 

The second tiers are those on the left (Wong Chun Ting, Kristian Karlsson, Koki Niwa, Stefan Fegerl, Lee Sangsu, Chen Chien-an, Jang Woojin, Simon Gauzy, Tang Peng, Robert Gardos, Tiago Apolonia, Alexander Shibaev, Kenta Matsudaira and Lebesson Emmanuel)

This banner was hung between two slogans printed in enormous font size, which stated "Reforming the trend, Stand strong together in hardship, United as one, Target on Düsseldorf ".  There is no way that the Chinese team members will miss any of these messages.
