Sein Trainer in der Nationalmannschaft hat auch auf die Verletzung von Ma Long hingewiesen:
Coach Qin Zhijian commented that Ma Long’s injuries slightly affected his speed and power after his defeat to Fan Zhendong in the group stage. However, Ma Long did not want to talk about his injuries in the post-match interview. Instead, he pointed to the fact that he did not deal well with the crucial points andwas not as determined as Lin Gaoyuan in the deciding game.
