Ma Long Vs Vladimir Samsonov : 1/2 Final [World Cup Moscow 2009]

[@LeoMatisse]

Bravo Vladimir! Fantastic match by two legends of the sport. Wonderful to watch even after all these years.

[@anatoliyignatyev2680]

Давненько такого наслаждения не получал от увиденного - тем более Самсонов вытащил игру. :) Матч титанов, не побоюсь этого слова. Чистое наслаждение от борьбы.

[@x.x.7646]

Samsonov in fine style. Such a great player and even in 2015 still going strong. This man is probably the best ambassador for this sport.

[@赖凯婧]

0:00 this sound，this channel youtuber，japanese youtuber，japanese always make people feel death repression，just like their national anthem

[@алексалексов-к4с]

самсонов талант. с 10;5 выиграть у ма лонга дорогого стоит.

[@anatoliyignatyev2680]

Не в бровь, а в глаз. .:)

[@АланКесаев-р6я]

Самсонов конечно провел великий матч, браво за такое выдающееся выступление.

[@Haiman9]

Fucking Amazing. Samsonov played the best match in his life.

[@leondarcy7367]

The only sad thing is the audience. The venue is half-empty for such a great event.

[@Ionesboule]

All the seats might not be occupied, but the people who were there made one hell of a noise for Vladi : look at 9:21 when he wins the match, I've rarely heard such a loud cheer in table tennis

[@sherwoodfiftythirtybc4433]

This was an epic battle....you can tell they are both surprised at certain points when their attack or return volley misses. Opponent upsets timing or placement. Great respect for both players.

[@ravisultanekar1]

My favorite player vladimir samsonov :-)

[@plot000000]

well i give him a lot of credit for changing his game up to stay relevant. He didn't just try to do the same thing over and over and hope for the best. so yeah, he's elite again

[@uleyzano6178]

Красава. Наконец-то я нашел матч, в котором Самсонов собрался и додавил до конца.

[@toujiro01375]

サムソノフ選手がこんなに喜ぶのは初めて見たなぁ

[@cosmeticcarrepair]

Awasome, couldn't be any closer. These are the most rewarding matches to win when it is so close.

[@petrusincraian198]

Unbelievable Samsonv. The most consistent euro player, and he never gets old.

[@zandakovv]

САМСОНОВ в молодые годы был резвее, чем в нынешнем времени.ИГРАЛ он тогда красивее, видно колоссальный опыт , в общем красавчег. УДАЧИ вам в игре, побольше красивых моментов в партиях.

[@imemine246]

Мне как раз наоборот Владимир в этой игре показался скорее статичным. Ма Лун очень много очков выиграл, попадая «в корпус», когда Владимир не успевал смещаться.

[@Acnebegone]

its not luck my friend. its called endurance. its the reason why samsonovis one of the top 2 most feared players by joo se hyuk. mainly because of his stamina

[@dickn.ormous1064]

Samsonov is notorious for his lack of stamina which is probably why he has lost 80 percent of his finals against Boll. He has good results against choppers mostly because his teammate in Belarus National Team is a chopper and practices with him.

[@Acnebegone]

@@dickn.ormous1064 After 7 year, I get a reply, wow! Things may have already changed today vs 7 years ago, and Samsonov may already have had stamina issues by now due to age. But years ago, Joo feared both Wang Hao (because of the power and speed on both wings) and Samsonov (due to stamina and defense) at that time, which is very impressive considering choppers are known for their incredible stamina. Here's an excerpt from an interview by Table Tennis Daily. I believe this was 2013, and there are many more questions Joo answered there, but for the purpose of the conversation, I'll just copy paste the one about Samsonov. *Who are your most fearsome opponents in the top 20? Who do you fear most and why? "Wang Hao and Samsonov are the most difficult players for me. Wang Hao seems to have only the pros of the shakehand and penholder grips. His shots are strong and fast, and his backhand is flawless. Samsonov is good at defense and has the stamina that I cannot match." Not sure if I can post links, for you to check my source. It's easily googleable though, so feel free to search the whole interview up.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@Acnebegone I can post an interview of Samsonov during the 90's saying he can't finish tournaments without feeling physical pain.He always lacked endurance, he is just patient against defenders because he practiced against them since his junior years.Saive who was a physical specimen had very poor results against choppers.It boils down to technique(loop against chop). In 1997 Samsonov beat Ding Song who was the best chopper/third ball attacker in the world.So it's not like he beat choppers because of his endurance.Primorac said he was even against Samsonov in their early years despite having worse technique because he was much fitter(he beat him in 2002 at the European Championship)

[@Acnebegone]

@@dickn.ormous1064 it's interesting to see how joo perceives samsonov as having great stamina and samsonov himself does not and says hes just patient and used to playing choppers. I'm a bit baffled to see how much he could've learned vs choppers when the best belarusian chopper i know is his teammate chtchetinine who has an incredibly different playstyle from joo.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

​@@Acnebegone It΄s different but still a chopper.There was article about Samsonov's early days in the Bundesliga saying the owners of his Bundesliga club thought he would lose against defense players ¨cause Russian players were weak against choppers but he beat them 'cause he trained with choppers all the time .Also Kreanga was very strong against choppers,he trained with Tsiokas .He did choke against JSH at the 2003 WTTC though but it was typical Kreanga succumbing to nerves.He always beat him in the World Cup.

[@biboyumandar1538]

Samsonov's service has always been amusing to me. hehehe

[@quickzilver333]

Some of you failed to realize that Samsonov even though he is old. He holds the record of wins in Table Tennis. His style still and will give trouble even against the top Chinese Players. He is also has more experi.

[@policebox1092]

Super awesome ❤

[@nyquester5875]

I love you, Samsonov!

Always a pleasure for the eye to see Samsonov play.

[@DIGITALDREAMSSUBLIMATIONTIPS]

Wow what a great colossal match hidden here...valdi was all gun blazing and so was ma long...but the grit and determination of samsonov prevailed !!

[@olaniyi570]

OMG! That was beautiful! So glad Samsonov won. The Chinese have enough titles. Time for Europe to put up a fight. Definitely, not a ma long fan.

[@AntonioCarlosBMelo]

[@Ashkamitsu]

performance enorme des 2 joueurs , match legendaire

[@Detherocable]

too much control play, even by samsonovs standards! he really deserved this .

[@zevlibin8892]

Epic match

[@sdy99]

Like thanks for sharing

[@vorobieff8954]

Мы там были. Владимир показал, как надо играть с Китаем! Обыграть эту машину, как Ма- Лонг и Чен - ци. Это нужно суметь. Я там был, в первых рядах. Думал он не выдержит. Уже тогда Ма оставлял впечатление робота!

[@こんにちは-k3s]

名試合

[@arem7668]

Легенда!

[@VittorioVeraMoyoli]

MY NAME IS SAMSONOV ... VLADIMIR SAMSONOV. With permission to beat Chinesse players.

[@ВладЖданов-ф1д]

гений!!!

[@MiniDaab]

Super close match. Interesting considering that the match was just as close 4 years earlier when Ma long was only 16!

[@MiniDaab]

@ИвоГеоргиев Yes, I stated that Ma Long was 16, four years earlier.

[@Za_NN]

Два профессионала - не захочешь - досмотришь до конца

[@ДанилБарышев-г4е]

Лучшие его годы

[@ppalavichkoo]

Ma Long was born October 20, 1988 (age 25). In 2009 he was 21.

[@xiangyu031]

great changeover!!!

[@vladimirsinicter5009]

Владимир, умница!

[@gifgifgifgifgifgif]

he deserved this win

[@duroyricky9332]

Samsonov chinese killer. Bravo master

[@ИванОлейник-о7с]

Сейчас Самсонову остаётся только вспоминать о победах над Ма Лонгом ((( Хотелось бы видеть и европейских теннисистов в первой тройке мирового рейтинга, но к сожалению...

[@valeriynaoumenko9101]

He was born to kill the Dragons!

[@regomellor]

And was he elite again when he beated xu xin a few months ago? You don't know what you're talking about

[@Kingminsoong]

Only player who can beat china.i have a great respect on samsonove

[@АндрейАндреев-е3ь]

awkward handshake from Samso to Liu and one of the best comebacks evah!

[@ttromain]

No problem ;)

[@renovatio36]

SAMSONOV... THE BEST!!! FAR AWAY...

[@xaviervereecken8591]

Le jour où

[@leod2960]

good 👌

[@prototype225]

Не видел этого видео до этого. Честно говоря думал что Самсонов возьмёт максимум одну партию. Но после того как он вышел из 10-5 я задумался. Не думал что он ма лонга когда-то обыгрывал

[@olaniyi570]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@frsfthg9212]

11 years later, ma wins 2024 cup.

[@people996]

samsonov the best

[@owenk.105]

正!!!比分超接近!!!

[@philt6228]

Big time Win by Samsonov! Those killer blocks really got Ma long Frustrated.. Great Match...

[@scylla24]

Hmm.... I not sure I agree with that, it depends on who he was playing against. I literally think, he has never beat Ma Lin even once. He has beat WLQ most notably in the world cup finals a long time ago, but other than that he still usually loses to him.

[@НикитаШелков-х7с]

Вот это мамонт!

[@gustavoleal5318]

grande Samsonov!! el mejor !

[@tomspice73]

For those who can not imagine how fast this game is, by the table IT is 2,3 times faster Than on tv. Lightning, especially Ma Ling's game. Bút Samsi's too

[@АндрейШаршаков-э3м]

страшная борьба...

[@lockwyn]

jea, it was a good win :)

[@vorobieff8954]

Профессор!

[@xv5142]

du grand tres grand Vladimir

[@BollForte94]

At first I didn't want to watch this match because I knew the result already. But there were some tight rallys! I really like Samsonov but why did he have to win this match!?! Ma Lomg deserves an international title more then everybody else! Yeah I am a Ma Long Fanboy ;) Have a good one;)

[@Zharioo26]

1:47 : Like a boss.

[@vivekdwivedi8353]

Great S 💪

[@СтраницыПилигрима]

Молодец Самсонов 👍

Когда в стране нет ракетки и стола нормальных в школах,то победы Владимира можно назвать фантастикой.

[@MrRolan1981]

Самсонов сила!!!!!почему он не всегда играет по углам? Это же против лонга работает.

[@zarvarfh1663]

красава Самсонов

[@СергейВертолётов-ю5х]

Мо-ло-дец !!!

[@mistercat6169]

8 57 ma looks so sad

[@nevtymongush5290]

wanted ma long to win

[@alakosab]

Ma Long lost the 5th set from 10-5

[@scylla24]

sigh, it was this game that really showed that Ma Long, while having incredibly strengths in his game, and while he beat his fellow Chinese more often than not, he still was lacking in the area which the Chinese National team cares about the most, the ability to beat non-Chinese. Wang Hao and Ma Lin almost never lose to Samsonov. Especially Ma Lin.

[@jonathanjonathanelchapo193]

8:08 ma long excuse for the let . 8:44 samsonov no excuse for the let pffff

[@ВладимирВейко-п3п]

Самсонов лучший

[@БенЛазарь]

Вова красавец!!!

[@JuanGomez-hc5fm]

Ahh, rejoice at those times when ma long could be defeated by a European

[@Galimah]

too easy for the belarusian player. the asian guy was a bit too stereotyped

[@LaZanzaraReturn]

Galimah ......The asian guy.....was Ma Long !!!! And today, he is....MA LONG !!!

[@tihiandrew]

***** here he was 20 years old

[@ksojoel]

+Galimah ohh comon! to easy? really? he was forced to a seventh game and did an euphoric celebration (so rarely on him)

[@skywalker1296]

The Asian was actually winning. He was the better player skill-wise, but lost as he was not mentally strong. Today he is just unbeatable. The moment someone steps on the table against Ma Long, the match is already decided!

[@Ryanlexz]

lmao table tennis is for weak pussy asian man game yo

[@ТРИТОЧКИ-о7ы]

Самсонов превозмог не Ма Лонга а Китайскую махину

[@prototype225]

и такое было?! Самсонов тут поживее выглядит. сейчас он вялым стал

[@クラムチャウダー-h6p]

強っワルドナ〰️二世?

Великий и ужасный Самсон!
