Viorel Filimon, rumänischer Damentrainer:
Same coach was at the bench when BADESCU, STEFF , ZAMFIR in Aarhus won the last title for Romania [2005].
“Young SAMARA was also in that team.
At that time they faced only one Chinese player. Now, each team has two of them. I am speaking about Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Croatia…I do not like what I see. It is not good for the future of the table tennis.
We have great problem here at the Continent. When our youngsters mature to play in senior competition, there is no place for them in the teams. They are leaving table tennis, if they stay they can not improve their game nor play at all.”
