Yeah..but that "never give up" is not an attitude. It's a skill that's really really hard to acquire overnight. I think a bigger problem is the lack of creativity. Their play seemed predictable and very " Malaysian" ( tendency to lift and lift with no idea how to quickly counter when under intense attack)
totally agree with you on this. The game evolved yet typical Malaysian style still remain same.. always lifting.
I remember reading teo's interview prior to indonesia open and he said that paulus want them (malaysian MD) to play like an indonesian MD, he said they learn a lot from kevin/marcus and ahsan/hendra, the current world number 1 and 2. don't know what happen though, it seems like they all back to their natural style again (lifting too much). https://www.bolasport.com/read/3117...dijadikan-panutan-ganda-putra-malaysia?page=2
To me, Aaron Chia looked overweight.. Look like KKK, maybe even fatter than him. Not sure how long he will last at the top of the game. AE RU is their best achievement to date. Looking for them to win their 1st SS, it will be good that people share the load in winning and it should be , in ultra competitive MD. Though I feel, its GohTan that will play in the OG and that may not be the best thing for Malaysia badminton.
stop being the "Jaguh Kampung", it is the only way to be the best of the best, just like how legendary Lee Chong Wei did from year 2004 till his retirement this year...
finally for the first time they defeated the reigning WC Ahsan/Setiawan in China Open QF, and of course Ahsan/Setiawan is because played R1 & R2 in difficulty and make them exhausted...
Lee Chong Wei kept being called Jaguh Kampung. I do agree that it's harder to handle the pressure now because of criticism on social media accounts. Malaysians very easily dish out destructive criticism rather than constructive or supportive feedback.
what happened to Aaron smash, not as fierce as when he breakthrough.. I remember all England that they lost final, that time on their journey to final his smash is scary..very powerful
sometimes Aaron smash not on par, but Soh smash suddenly good, but not good enough to assist Aaron... in conclusion, both Aaron and Soh must get trained very hard, just like how the Minions trained to be the best MD of all time right now...
but its par with the course. Everybody goes through it, especially in countries with a badminton tradition. Anthony, Jonathan, the top chinese players all gets lots of criticism and high expectations. coaches.. officials need to prepare our young players for this. Its part of world badminton
At last, Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik finally own a maiden champion title by winning a gold medal for men’s double event in Sea Games 2019... and now they are off for the World Tour Finals at Guangzhou on this week...
anyone know currently this pair using which Victor rackets model name? Especially Aaron’s racket he using right now?
Aaron chia is a waste of time. No power. Fat. Similar to the old retired senior guy of play. HTH. He can only do placing. Soh a bit erratic. No offence but this is a reality. They will never win many tournaments. Time for BAM to wake up. I dont think BAM got any good backups. I ady told tbh in his live cast last time about aaron. If I am Aaron opponent, I will let him smash until he gives up. Guaranteed pancit. Lol
Btw, If BAM player eg soh/chia is 1 rank lower than non BAM players goh/tan, who will BAM send? Hope BAM can clarify this for the future since many are independent players now. Will it be like England BA sending younger players?
I wld put goh and tan in. More solid power games. Experienced tan placing. Soh/chia no track record and cant last. Too volatile. Lucky koreans was caught napping.
A fighter fight to proof critics wrong. Just like lcw and lzj. Without critics, lcw and lzj can go back kampung and plant corns. Lol Definately not kkk tbh. Lol Remember people critic Rashid as jaguh kampung. But he achieved bronze in og.
