Ronnie O’Sullivan won’t play in the Welsh Open this week but will still attract attention on Thursday by telling John Astley he should consider quitting the sport because he doesn’t have good technique and doesn’t even have a snooker brain.The world number 78 was held to a narrow draw in his opening match in Llandudno and came up short, losing 4-2 to three-time world champion Mark Williams.Analyzing the match in the Eurosport studio, Rocket Astley marveled at a shot in the fifth frame that missed the red but left it to Williams to win the frame.O’Sullivan started compassionately, saying: “It’s hard to turn balls away. If I have a chance I think I should win the game. If I’m out of position I’ll take it because I just can’t accept that I will frame not scoring, so sometimes it’s hard to push balls back. I’d probably try to screw it, press it a bit, and at least if you forget, the red will disappear.”.
However, he suggested he was unimpressed with Astley’s selection, saying: “But to play it like that, he’s not even in the plus … with a bad shot.” He doesn’t have a snooker brain, that’s for sure. You must have a snooker brain.”Some people are good at math, some people are good at English, some people just have a snooker brain, and some people just don’t play the right shot and will never play the right shot because their brains don’t think like a snooker player” Via over the years there have been many amazing players, you might be surprised, the top five players, I won’t mention some names, I don’t think they hate snooker, but they have such good technique that they can succeed..
