One day after the grotesque quarrel with her ex-club Linz AG Froschberg, Liu Jia showed what value the 40-year-old still has for Austria’s national table tennis team: With her 3-0 win over Tijana Jokic, the ex-European champion sat down Austria’s 3-0 in the European Championship qualifier in Linz-Lissfeld over Serbia – Sofia Polcanova and Amelie Solja also won – the final point. On Thursday, the ÖTTV selection was still 2: 3 inferior to the Serbs – still without Liu Jia.
After crying fits, she was no longer able to call up a concentrated performance. These were triggered when her ex-club, which she had led to two Champions League titles, asked her to use a table of EUR 3.50 for training in the Lissfeld Hall, which was designated as a national team base. Club boss Günther Renner, who initially explained the incident by saying that the hall manager did not know the most important player in the club’s history, struck a more conciliatory tone yesterday. “I’m sorry that happened,” he said on ORF. However, he ended with a tip to Liu Jia: “If you want to get it wrong, get it wrong.” That didn’t sound like peace.
