“I’m not tired, and I can’t use this as an excuse to lose. But in terms of performance, I can only give myself 3-4 points, but in terms of spirit, I can give myself full marks,” the 48-year-old said last week.
“I feel that I have been playing the game very hard, but it is still very difficult and I did not show my best condition.
“I will do some things in the off-season to help improve my condition, including some exhibition games to increase my competitiveness and improve my performance under pressure. I may come to China, or some other places to play some exhibition games later.”
