In a conversation with Andy Golds, the host of European sports programs, for nearly half an hour, O 'Sullivan sincerely told his past stories, including those little-known secrets. After he became famous rapidly in the 1990s, he fell into a depression. His father was sent to prison on suspicion of intentional homicide, and he also went to a drug rehabilitation center. In addition, O 'Sullivan also talked about the influence of ray reardon and Steve Pitts on his career and his future plans.
O 'Sullivan was famous in his childhood-at the age of 9, he won his first club championship; 10 years old, hit the first shot100; 13 years old, won the British U 16 championship; 15 years old, the first shot of the British amateur championship 147, won the runner-up; /kloc-won the IBSFU2 1 amateur world championship at the age of 0/6, and also won the youth championship of the black ball challenge in the same year. After changing careers, Mr. Huo continued his brilliant achievements in childhood and adolescence-1993 won the British Championship and became the youngest ranking champion, and 1995 won the Masters Championship.
However, early fame became a burden for Mr. Huo, and family difficulties made him once in a downturn. During that time, Mr. Huo's father was suspected of being in prison, and his mother was in prison soon because of tax problems. As a minor, he must take care of his sister at home and the sex shop that makes a living from it. Before going to prison, Mr. Huo's father reminded him to choose between snooker and Pippa (his girlfriend is a heavy smoker, which laid the groundwork for Mr. Huo to take drugs), but the heavy pressure of life made Mr. Huo gradually lose his way and feel confused about the choice of partners and teams, which made him waste too much energy outside table tennis and unable to concentrate on snooker itself. In Mr. Huo's own words, he wasted 5-6 years of precious time during his career rise. This has also become a regret for him and the fans.
The influence of life makes the fire teacher live irregularly and eat and drink too much. 1996 After losing to Hendry, Mr. Huo looked at himself in the photo and realized that he was really overweight. So he decided to get back in shape, lose his driver's license, spend three months in the gym, exercise regularly 2-3 times a day, consciously control his diet, gradually restore his slim figure, and the feeling of winning came back.
But Mr. Huo is still not completely divorced from alcohol and parties. Although the situation is better than before, there is still much room for improvement. Every morning when he wakes up, he has to drink a glass of wine and smoke a few big ones, which will make his day full of energy. After a long time, Mr. Fire thinks that this is actually self-hypnosis, but it has no effect. That's just his psychological dependence. So he wanted to get rid of this situation and began to seek outside help.
Finally, after much consideration, Mr. Huo called the hotline of the drug rehabilitation center and told the other party that he had some problems and needed help. Later, Mr. Huo was taken to the drug rehabilitation center in Ron Putton to assist in his rehabilitation. That was the most correct decision Mr. Fire thought he had made in his life. Before, he was afraid to go there because he thought it was for drug addicts, and smoking was not that serious. However, with the support of Sam (a drug rehabilitation worker who later became Mr. Huo's friend), Bianca (Mr. Huo's girlfriend) and his mother, Mr. Huo stayed there for a while and successfully controlled his addiction to alcohol and tobacco. Now he may drink it only once every six months, or once on birthdays and festivals.
For details, please refer to Autobiography of Mr. Fire.
Insert a paragraph: 1998 Irish Masters, O 'Sullivan originally defeated Dahdi 9-3 to win the championship, but was deprived of the championship after the game because of a positive drug test. Poison is really harmful!
On 20 10, Mr. Huo's father was released from prison. On this topic, Mr. Fire talked a lot: My life would have been very different; I could have won the world championship earlier, and I could have won more championships. It could have been different, but it happened after all. This is very unfortunate for me and my father. If he is by my side, I will enjoy my snooker career more. "Although Mr. Huo usually visits his father during the break of the game, this feeling is incomparable to family reunion.
Teacher Huo's cooperation with ray reardon, the champion of the six-time World Championships, benefited from the efforts of old O 'Sullivan. Mr. Fire's father contacted Rilton by phone. He asked the king of the 1970s if he would help his son, and the answer was "I'd love to, no problem". In this way, the two great players had a happy cooperation.
That year, with the help of Rilton, O 'Sullivan became the double champion of the World Championships.
Besides ray reardon, Mr. Huo also affirmed and thanked Petes, an expert in sports psychology, for his help, saying that they completely changed him and his career track.
Because of low attendance and insufficient points, Mr. Huo ranked only 18 in a single season, so he missed the player championship and the tour championship. "Next season, I will change my training methods, strive to participate in every game, and practice by competition. In that case, I don't need to practice when I get home. I just need to do what I like, because I don't want to be a slave to the game. I set myself the goal of playing 90- 100 days a year and playing 70-80 games or so. This year's situation is too special. Staying at home for too long has made me lose the rhythm of the game. "
I believe I will try to reach the climax in the next few seasons until I am 50 years old. At that time, I won't call again, otherwise it would be foolish. I want to take part in some exhibition games, but it would be great if I could do something unrelated to snooker.
It has been seven years since Mr. Huo won five world championships, and the number of 36 ranked champions has been tied with Hendry for a season. In order to be the undisputed best in history, he had to go all out at the last moment. Of course, it's good to enjoy the game.
