First, let s line up some facts.
1) Since China Open 2015, LCW met LD twice and defeated him twice, both times coming from behind and in China.
2) Since China Open 2015, LCW met CL 4x and outclassed him 4x.
3) In China Open 2015 and Asia Championship 2016, both held in China, LCW defeated LD in semi and CL in finals. Which is incredible mental strength , considering their earlier H2H advantage over him. That cannot be due to luck. That cannot be due to LD and CL playing to disappoint the home crowd. So what can it be? The big change in him has to be due to:
4) His new coaches Hendrawan and Morten Frost. They have prepared LCW more comprehensively against the CHN MS, different tactics, surprising them by changing his syllabus, infusing him with the confidence and belief to win. LCW should consider himself lucky he has the best coaches to guide him in Rio and have trust and faith in them.
5) Ultimately, LCW gotta ask himself. Has he put in the best preparation efforts? Has he the best coaches? Have they been comprehensive in their coaching programme? Hasn't he defeated his CHN opponents in all the most recent times they met and in front of their home crowd? There is no guarantee but if the answer is yes to all these questions, he has put himself in the best position possible for the best possible outcome.
And if you are still worried after this fact check, you gotta ask yourself should I worry when I have no control over the outcome? Or rather, can someone guarantee a gold when I spend time and effort worrying? If the answer is no, then have faith in LCW and his coaches. Enjoy the game!
