LYB as the chief coach not there??? Lol
where is Paul Eric Larsen?
i didn't know UEFA Champion played already. dawn, i missed it.
There is the legend himself - Tang Xian Hu.China definitely needs a new MS coach. XXZ hasn't been able to improve any of the MS players. In fact, they seem to be getting worse. Morever, they don't play with the style that the other nations play with. The Japanese players had a clearly gameplan, and are willing to go for the angled smashes. Chinese players play way too slow.
As for MD, they should just get a foreign coach. There's not even a single man in China who can coach MD.
And notice how PJB was on the court for all the matches? LYB used to do that, but why doesn't he do that anymore?
There will surely be changes in the MS and MD coaching set-up after the disastrous SF thrashing by Japan. A high possibility Zhang Jun and XXZ could lose even lose their jobs?
JPN beat CHN 3-0
JPN beat MAS 3-2
Does that mean MAS stronger than CHN?
Hypotheticaly, yes. Practically, no!
I think MAS should have won 3 points from CHN in MS1 and the 2 MD's.
I don't think there will be changes as the decision not to include veteran like Cai Yun was from LYB, unless he just want to shift the blame to someone else. Lin Dan ranking only allowed his to play as 3rd single due to lack of participation in IBF tournaments, I think both parties(Lin Dan & Chinese Badminton association) mostly over-estimated their strength.
Someone mentioned about Frost may be interested in Malaysia Director's position, I think Malaysia should stick to what we have and go from there as TC outcomes had proven success w/o Angmo "Frost", the players are the one who have to step up instead of finding easy way out?
Disagree with you Han.
It's plain to see Malaysia have been on the decline. The Thomas Cup is not representative of the decline.
