Chinanews, London, November 29 – Ding Junhui, the world snooker champion from China, gave an interview to our reporter on November 28, 2007.

 

According to our reporter, Ding is more like a “boy living next door” than a cool and serious world champion. During the interview, he played table soccer with Zhang Meng, his agent. Every time he shot a goal, he would burst into laughter, which was rare even when he got full marks in Wembley.

 

Snooker is a sport that requires great concentration1 and self-possession, and Ding is said to have a remarkable2 concentration of the mind rarely found among boys around his age.

 

However, Ding lost several matches in the first round this year, and there were rumors3 that he should improve his mental conditions.

 

Ding said that he felt a bit lost earlier this year, when there had been so many matches that he had not had time for training.

 

In Snooker Premier4 League this year, Ding beat Davis, Hendry and O'Sullivan. The Premier League is somewhat5 easier for players, as there are no marks involved.

 

Ding’s life in Britain is quite simple. Every day, he takes 6 hours of training, and the rest of the day, he usually plays video games or watches basketball matches.

 

“In Britain, I always have to stick to the timetable. For example, the restaurants will be closed soon after dinner time, while back home I can have dinner in restaurants whenever I want, ” complained Ding.
