I think it is worthy of recognition for winning the championship, but in fact there will still be some problems exposed. After I was on the court, I concluded that after watching the video, there will still be some room for improvement, and then there are some small details that can be better.
In fact, I still have some details in various aspects, and then force offense, and then counterattack. I think that in fact, I still have a lot of (enhancement space) on the field, and the lines are rich, which can be more reasonable. In fact, there are still many places to do it. To improve.
[Commentary] Chen Yufei told reporters that she had been proud and complacent when she had good grades, but she made adjustments in time and still looked forward to greater progress.

In 2019, when my results were relatively good, I actually had a time of pride.
It's not pride, it may be a little bloated, and then it will cause some changes in one's mentality.
I think this is a warning to myself, and then after adjustment, and then go to the Olympic Games to win the championship.
I don't think it is humble. I think you can't be content so quickly. You still have to have a new goal, and then you still have to have a direction to move forward, and I really haven't reached such a high level.
[Explanation] Chen Yufei said that she is actually a person of "Buddha" and she used to be very "Buddha" in training, but now she will put forward higher requirements for herself in training.
She said that China's badminton women's single journey is not easy and should work harder.

Because our women’s singles have always had a lot of opponents, and in fact, one or two women’s singles in each country are of the same level, and then you can’t be sure of winning or losing on the court, and you can’t be sure of winning, so I think this will cause us to work harder in training. Then there will be a more positive state, and then there will be a clear goal.
[Explanation] Among many women's singles opponents, Dai Ziying, who Chen Yufei faced in the women's singles final of this Olympic Games, is undoubtedly the strong one.
Before this Olympics, Chen Yufei's battle against her was a lot of wins and losses, but even so, Chen Yufei still faced it with a "normal heart".

I think you should be yourself no matter who you meet, then go all out, and prepare for the opponent, because we have played a lot, and then after a lot of fights, we will understand each other better, so some of her I pay attention to the characteristics, and try my best not to put that kind of baggage on my back because of excessive pressure, and then cause myself to perform abnormally, so I think I will adjust my mentality better.
[Commentary] After winning the Olympic champion, Chen Yufei undoubtedly gained a halo.
But she believes that in the face of the gold medal, we must set our mindset.

After achieving this result, people may have higher expectations of me, and then they may pay more attention to me, but I feel that if I speak for myself, I hope that I will not be affected by these, and then I will be myself, and then I feel that after the competition In middle and training, I still have to let go of my grades. I think I still have to treat this identity with a normal heart.
[Commentary] Chen Yufei said that in addition to the Olympics, she will face many competitions in the future. For every competition, she hopes to make an impact on the highest podium.

In fact, we still have a lot more, just like the U.S. Cup, and then the World Championships. In the Asian Games next year, I have not won any of these competitions, so we still have to try our best to hit each of these competitions.
(So the goal is actually a grand slam, can it be understood that way?) This "big goal" can be said, but if it is a "small goal", try to fight for it, and it is necessary to fight for the championship in every competition like this.
