Ma Long & Timo Boll - Interview!

Hi, I finally finished editing the interview. It is from 2018, but I tried to ask some of your questions to Ma Long.
Sorry for the sound, didn't have good microphones back then.
If you want to learn more about insider table tennis knowledge, have a look at my project Timo Boll Webcoach. There I try to give all my knowledge about table tennis!

[@justinku3408]

I was deeply impressed when I witnessed Mr.Timo Boll friendly paid his after-game signiture time to the last one of his huge fans waiting in long line to see him at 2018 World Tour Grand Final in Incheon, Korea. Respect to his personality with true humanity for his fans!

I have nothing but love and respect for these two amazing table tennis players, athletes and human beings ❤️

Ma Long wirkt ja echt sympatisch. Interessantes und witziges Video. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass Ma Long so viel Humor hat, wo er doch an der Platte sehr emotionslos wirkt. Zusammen mit dem Gespräch mit Harimoto mein Lieblingsinterview. Mach weiter mit deinen tollen Videos und viel Erfolg nächstes Jahr bei Olympia!

[@classicsidepart1477]

Can we please take a moment and cherish the awesomeness that is gathered there in front of the camera????? Insane to see these two giants of our sport talking about their ways of playing and training like if they told you: "well yeah... I just bought a cappuccino." Great, great video and a superb display of international camaraderie.

[@viktorseifert9494]

Oh my gosh I had no idea this existed. Two legends of the sport! Edit: I never expected Ma Long to be so humble and funny (maybe because his sheer sill is so intimidating on the table).

Wow what an Interview of 2 living legends this is so good to see the respect they have for each other after all these years competing. For me both are real role models in table tennis and life.

Wonderful interview (and all the web lessons I am seeing lately). Thank you for using your place inside the top of the sport and sharing what's it's like to be there (and sharing your friends who are 'up there' with us too). I think we, out here, daydream about times like you are having, and your sharing of them in your videos helps make our dreams feel more real. Stay strong! Be happy! (ps... I write this as you are fully immersed in the Olympics so I cross my fingers that you find good fortune through the rest of the matches!)

[@Lightzy1]

Amazing that you did this, just amazing. I'm blown away. I especially liked where you didn't ask him about himself, but about something outside of himself, that way we can really hear what a person's thoughts are. I think people open up more that way, like for example you can ask "What do you do yourself to train", getting a closed answer like "I do 1 2 3", or u can ask "What do you think are some of the most important training exercises and why?", which I think will lead to more open and informative answers, which also include the 1 2 3 but a lot more.

They are both too humble .... I didn't expect that.

[@vitaliiostapchuk4268]

Timo, please show us how to do a reverse pendulum serve. You do the brilliant one!

[@skalator117]

Hey Timo, is it possible to make something (maybe in one of the questionnaires) which analysis how the spin of the ball effects the way you have to return the shot. For example if you want to hit a topspin return against a heavy backspin vs topspin. How you to alter the angle of attack and the amount of spin you have to give to the ball. Btw amazing vid seeing two legends of the sport talk about how it has evolved.

[@raminjun5778]

das ist so cool, ich habe ganze zeit gedacht, es ist fern Interview und auf einmal kommt Ma Long Hand zu Timo... :-D Sehr gut. it's so cool, I was thinking all the time, it's a far away interview and suddenly Ma Long Hand comes to Timo :-D Very good.

Malong is so friendly and humble so also Timo❤.Truely u two are legends✨

[@SPCspoon]

Hi Timo, very interesting interview and a phantastic atmosphere between the two of you. I had a question in mind that might have been an addition to your first one. When was he initially introduced to the sport and from when on did he put out these training numbers that he mentioned? I was completely blown away by the amount of time spent. As I am just a beginner in TT, I'd also be very interested in the actual implications he felt with the introduction of plastic balls. Is there also a change in the actual racket "technology" that had a similar impact on his playstyle during the years (I am a little older, so I remember the wood being completely different at times)? Thanks so much for your efforts, this channel and your personality.

[@lousyfication]
