Taufik alias Indra I think Indra is in fact Taufik, only Taufik(alias Indra) still think he is right and logical
Taufik will not afraid to leave Pelatnas. He has said that in his carrier, his target is WC, OS and AE. He has got 2 of his targets: WC and OS. Only AE that he has not yet got. If he move out from Pelatnas, he still have a chance to get AE. So ...... no problem to leave Pelatnas. But well problem if Mulyo leaves him.
i think taufik is consequent and not afraid of taking the cost of his actions. pitty, there won t be videos of taufik from AE.
Taufik joined the Yonex German open which is still ongoing. He was defeated by Lin Dan. I'm just not sure if he was already eliminated. I checked the match schedule and can't find his name. The German open will end March 4, two days before the opening of the All England.
Dude, we've gone through this already. It's the OTHER Taufik Hidayat that's playing in the German Open
Sory just my thought: 1. His only goal that he haven't reach yet is only AE, so it's not big deal for him. 2. Country? I'm indonesian but seriously, now is the time for him to ask: What have Indonesia gave to me, he already gave gold medal in Olympic and AG, if he was citizen in other countries he can have a better life. 3. Money ?? I don't think money is important to him, remember whom he married to? This is just some fact that I can give to you.
1. That's true. Given TH immense capabilities and talent, the AE is just a short reach away that he can make anytime he wants. 2. Indonesia did give him a lot. They made him a national hero. If in other countries, he would just be another portrait in the hall of fame. Look at Tony Gunawan, he won the World Championship for the US in 2005. Tony still isn't half as big in the US as he was in Indonesia. But, in Indo, Taufik would be big forever like Rudy Hartono. Especially, if he wins the AE and become the first player to win every major tournament at least once. 3. Money. Taufik could retire anytime he wants and mooch off his wife and her family just like Kevin Federline. Plus, i bet he got a lot of money of his own. Indonesia definitely gave him a few truckloads of cash for his Olympic and two Asian Games successes. My wish if for Taufik to just go and grab the AE and then deal with PBSI. His voice would be stronger after his success. Instead, he chooses to back out becos of some misunderstanding with the organization and its corrupt practices. Just my thought
He would struggle to beat Lin Dan in the QF. The draw was really against him, esp first match against Hashim Hafiz who can give him a good run.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. It's Taufiq Hidayat AKBAR who went to the German open.
I believe it should be if Taufik changes his decision, he will go... PBSI didn't cancel the ticket because they are still hoping that Taufik will change his mind... What a waste of money...
Better no show I think the chance of Taufik going is very slim for few reasons : -No confident of winning as Open is actually harder to win compare to Olympic/Asian Games/World Championship(with quota from each country). And look at his draw, I don't think he can win this time. -He doesn't care. At this point, national pride is not in his mind. Imagine if Rexy try to convince him about the small logo national flag in his shirt is actually not small ... Taufik would show him the finger -Still playing politics and try to hold PBSI as hostage. Not sure what good does it do to fight with PBSI based on the principle alone, why even anger all your team mates who're still try to secure their future financially. I hope Taufik don't go so we all still can think that he would have, could have won the All England 2007
Still I silently hope TH would go and play his very best and get to meet LD and let the chips falls on whoever win then...as a fan, I yearn and salivate for their "battle" to unfold, such a threat to enjoy, after WC07 and OG08, we gonna miss TH...bet on that one. LD vrs anybody else besides LCW, PG and especially Mr. TH is never the same and does not carry the same amount of excitement and passions...LOL!
maybe TH will get the last laugh when he get his revenge on the pbsi if no INA player win a medal at the AE, LOL.
