I read in the Seputar Indonesia today.... TAufik again "fights" against PBSI . Taufik himself is not sure if he will play or not. He said that mentally he is ready 100%, but as to his physical condition he is not sure because he is now in the process of recovery due to his waist and back injury. He has not practiced at Pelatnas (Training Center) for weeks. Taufik is very dissapointed with the way PBSI has handled this issue. He admitted that he has not been called to discuss this matter. Taufik felt that PBSI does not care about his serious injury. Taufik wants to have face-to-face talk with PBSI. He said that every internal problems between him and PBSI should be discussed internally, instead of directly being exposed to the press. BAD NEWS AGAIN !!!! I sense that Taufik will not be fielded by PBSI. I guess too much "fights" between PBSI and Taufik. I don't know who is the real trouble maker. But one thing is clear that the way PBSI has managed badminton in Indonesia should now "CHANGE". Otherwise, Indonesia will lose its "Teeth". Now....I guess DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH THAT INDONESIA WILL WIN THE CUP THIS YEAR....PBSI NOW SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH ITS INTERNAL PROBLEMS. WINNING THE TC IS ACTUALLY THE FRUIT OF THE GOOD MANAGEMENT!!!!
i think pbsi should care more about his injury if he can't play due to his injury, then he shouldn't you can't risk the player's health
taufik is a kind of 'spoiled' player , PBSI must have a will to talk heart to heart with taufik.. taufik often saves PBSI's A(ss).. in the tv taufik seems very anxious and wants to play in TC final, it's just miscommunication .. i hope PBSI have a big heart
i think Taufik is very willing to do his best for his team, he just wants the feeling of respected and cared haha, yes , kind of spoiled , but not too much i'm a little worried about his injury actually
don't go to singapore, chance to win tc is very weak, he must move in malaysia.. but it depend on how much money they offer
if he moves to malaysia, malaysia will "almost" sure with the Thomas cup. 1st MS - LCW 2nd MS - Taufik 3rd MS - WCH wau.....what a good line up. + if Candra, Eng Hian ...etc. also move to malaysia. Malaysia will be the strongest Thomas team. just imagine Candra Wijaya + KKK in MD.
no.. it's a joke PBSI know how to protect their 'gold mine' it's imposible fo taufik play for other countries except he's willing to change his nationality (like mia audina) taufik ever tried to move to singapore.. PBSI (with indo gov help) could bring him back taufik is indonesia's treasure i am sure he won't go anywhere except retiring
Untouchable taufik PBSI really "pusing tujuh keliling" with Taufik. They have no idea as to how to handle Taufik. Read this http://www.bolanews.com/sunito/12203.php
he's a jewel in the palace anyone can traslate the news below (cooler, could you) : [FONT=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial][SIZE=-1]Ignatius Sunito[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial]THOMAS, THOMAS, THOMAS CUP[/FONT] [SIZE=-2]Rabu, 5 April 2006 pukul 15:34:7 WIB[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1] [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Perebutan Piala Thomas lambang supremasi dunia bulutangkis beregu 2006, tinggal beberapa hari lagi. Tepatnya tanggal 28 April-7 Mei di Jepang. Meski Indonesia datang sebagai penantang, yang tentu, beban lebih ringan katimbang mempertahankan. Namun, sejarah kegemilangan bulutangkis putra Indonesia sebagai penyandang 13 kali juara, juga merupakan beban tersendiri. Berangkat menuju medan tempur dengan sejumlah persoalan menuju “penyelesaian”, baik teknis maupun non teknis. Berupa penampilan yang amat, amat mengawatirkan para pemain andalannya. Baromaternya adalah Kejuaraan Asia pekan lalu di Johor Baru, Malaysia. Hanya satu gelar juara saja diraihnya, itu pun di sektor ganda campuran, Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir, nomor yang tidak dipertandingkan di Piala Thomas. Materi inti tim Piala Thomas pada bergelimpangan sebelum mencapai babak final, padahal di kejuaraan ini Cina dan Korea tidak mengirimkan pemain terkuatnya. Di atas kertas pemain Indonesia hanya menghadapi lawan “seimbang“, atau malahan harusnya lebih baik. Tak heran, Ketua Umum PBSI, Sutiyoso, datang sendiri di Stadion Bandar Raya, Johor Baru, untuk memberi semangat. Harapannya, anak-anak asuhnya semua bisa mencapai final, atau syukur-syukur, ya, juara. Di partai ganda di mana Indonesia menurunkan semua pemain andalannya ternyata rontok semua. Pasangan dunia Chandra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto dipermalukan pasangan tak terkenal Malaysia, Tan Boon Heong/Hoon Thien How. Kemudian Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto kesandung ganda tuan rumah, Chong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah di semifinal. Disusul Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan tak berkutik pada lawan yang sama dengan rekannya, di perempatfinal. Sony Dwi Kuncoro, calon tunggal kedua ditumbangkan pemain muda Korsel, Park Sung-hwan, yang sekaligus merupakan pertemuan ketiga dan Sony tak pernah menang (Malaysia Terbuka 2004 dan Hongkong Terbuka 2005). Sementara rekannya, Simon Santoso, calon tunggal dijadikan sansak oleh pemain terbaik Thailand, Boonsak Ponsana. Pertandingan dengan sistem reli poin 21 belum terbiasa bagi pemain Indonesia. Demikian salah satu alasan mengapa Indonesia gagal di Johor Baru. Lha, kemana larinya calon tunggal pertama Indonesia, Taufik Hidayat? Ternyata tidak ikut karena sedang pemulihan cedera pinggang. Selain terdera berbagai masalah non teknis, yang seperti biasanya selalu membuat pusing para kolega maupun pengurus PBSI. Agaknya seperti penyakit kambuhan Taufik kumat lagi, yang judulnya “siapa sanggup pegang Taufik? “ Apa itu? Media massa Indonesia tuntas mengungkapnya. Pemain yang satu ini sepertinya tak tersentuh, untouchable, apalagi dengan berbenteng prestasinya sebagai pemegang medali emas Olimpiade Athena 2004 dan Juara Dunia 2005. Apalagi sekarang ia masuk nominasi sebagai atlet top dunia 2005 oleh Sports Publications Corporation. Organisasi yang didukung oleh Komite Olimpiade China, yang sekaligus sebagai panitia pelaksana Olimpiade Beijing 2008. Taufik masuk nominasi bersama juara dunia termuda Formula 1, Fernando Alonso (Spanyol), pesepakbola Ronaldinho (Brasil), petenis Roger Federer (Swiss) dan Kim Clijster (Belgia), pebasket Tim Duncan (AS). Kemudian di cabang atletik, pemegang rekor dunia lompat galah putri dari Rusia, Yelena Isinbayeva, serta atlet Ethiopia, Kenenisa Bekela, pemegang rekor dunia lari 10.000 meter. Juga perenang kenamaan AS, Michael Phelps. Sementara Cina menominasikan pebulutangkisnya, Xie Xinfang, dan peloncat indah Guo Jingjing dan lifter Liu Chunhong. Pengumuman pemenangnya akan diadakan di Beijing tanggal 9 April 2006, dalam suatu upacara penuh kehormatan. Pemilihan atlet top dunia ini sudah terselenggara 20 kali. Dan acara yang menyamai anugerah Lareus yang diselenggarakan setiap tahun di Monte Carlo, Monaco. Memang, terlepas dari siapa itu Taufik yang kontroversial, kita mengharapkan Taufik bisa berhasil menyabet gelar bergengsi itu. Jika berhasil, lengkap sudah gelar Taufik sebagai “atlet paling sempurna dunia”. Medali emas Olimpiade, juara dunia, dan atlet top dunia. Semoga! Kembali kita pada tujuan mengembalikan supremasi bulutangkis putra dunia, Thomas Cup 2006. Dalam sejarah Thomas Cup pertama kalinya diikuti Indonesia sejak 1958, maka persiapan 2006 ini yang benar-benar mengawatirkan. Optimis boleh saja terus dikobarkan, harapan memperoleh kebanggaan sebagai bangsa dan negara sekali lagi masih bertumpu di olahraga. Chris John sudah mengawalinya di tahun 2006 ini sebagai juara dunia tinju kelas bulu WBA. Kita masih berharap Taufik seperti petenis urakan AS, John McEnroe, bagaimanapun kontroversialnya dia. Jika sudah kuwajiban membela negara dan bangsa, di ajang Piala Davis, John akan menyisihkan semua kepentingan pribadinya. Kalau perlu ia rela tidak dibayar, asal The Star Spangled Banner berkibar kibar sebagai bendera kemenangan tim AS di Piala Davis. Bukti telah menunjukkan itu. Apalagi sih, yang masih harus dikejar Taufik? Prestasi OK! Materi, rumah seharga Rp 2 miliar hadiah Sutiyoso sudah tepegang, isteri cantik anak “cukong” atau menjadi menantu Ketua Umum KONI Pusat, Agum Gumelar pun berhasil digaet. Kata orang, sertifikat rumahnya belum ada? Maka Taufik menampilkan kelakuan aneh-aneh yang memusingkan banyak orang. Maka jika ditanyakan kasus Taufik itu kepada mantan ketua umum PBSI seperti Soebagio HS, Chaerul Tanjung, pasti mempunyai persepsi sama. Baru tahu? ya, seperti itu! Kini giliran lah yang pusing. Thomas, Thomas, apakah kamu mau kembali ke Indonesia lagi?[/SIZE]
Note: THIS IS A VERY HARD PASSAGE TO TRANSLATE FOR ME There are only a few days left till the fight for Thomas Cup 2006, the world cup of badminton teams. The dates being 28th April - 7th May in Japan. Even though Indonesia attends as a challenger, certainly, the pressure is less than the attending as the defending champions. However, the glamorous history of the Indonesian Mens badminton teams as champions for 13 times also creates its own pressure. Onroute to the battleground with a number of problems that needs resolving, be it technical or non technical, is a sign that really concerns the elite players. The barometer is the Asian Championship last weekend in Johor Baru, Malaysia. Only one title was achieved, and that was from the mixed doubles event, Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir, a number that Indonesia is not sending to compete for this Thomas Cup. [SIZE=-1] The core of the Thomas Cup team stumbles prior to reaching the finals, even though in this championship, neither China nor Korea had sent their best. On face value, Indonesian players only have to compete against "equal standing" opponents, or in actuality, we are supposed to be better. Not surprisingly, General Manager PBSI, Sutiyoso, arrived alone Bandar Raya stadium, Johor Baru, to raise spirits. His hope is that all of his students can reach the finals, or, God bless, champions. For doubles events, where Indonesia sent all their elite players, all of them failed. The world renowned pair Chandra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto was humiliated by the Malaysian unknown pair, Tan Boon Heong/Hoon Thien How. Next, Luluk Hadiyanto/Alven Yulianto stumbles on the home doubles pair, Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah, in the semifinals. It followed after Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan rendered helpless against the same opponents in the quarter finals. Sony Dwi Kuncoro, the second singles candidate, was felled by a young South Korean player, Park Sung-hwan. This is their third meeting and Sony has won none (Malaysia Open 2004 and HK open 2005). His colleague, Simon Santoso, first singles candidate, was rendered as a sandbag by Thailand's best, Boonsak Ponsana. The players are not used to the new 21 point rally system. That is one reason why Indonesia failed in Johor Baru. Hey, where did the first singles candidate, Taufik Hidayat, disappeared to? In reality, he did not compete as he was recuperating from a waist injury. Besides suffering from many non-technical issues, which, as usual, involves creating headaches for his colleagues or the PBSI officials. It seems that Taufik's recurring disease popped up again, which is named "Who can hold Taufik?" What's that? as the mass media often cited. This one player seems "tak tersentuh", untouchable, more so with his achievement as the gold medal winner for Athens Olympics 2004 and title holder of World Champion 2005. More so now, since he was nominated as the world's top athlete 2005 by Sports Publications Corporation, an oranisation that is sponsored by Olympic Committee China, which doubles as the executive committee for Beijing Olympics 2008. Taufik is nominated along with the world's youngest F1 champion, Fernando Alonso (Spain), soccer player Ronaldinho (Brazil), tennis players Roger Federer (Swiss) and Kim Clijster (Belgium), Basketballer Tim Duncan (USA). In athletics, the world record holder for women's pole vault event, Yelena Isinbayeva from Russia, as well as the world record holder for 10,000 metre running event, Kenelisa Bekela from Ethiopia. Included as well is the world renowned US swimmer, Michael Phelps. In the meantime, China also nominates its badminton player, Xie Xinfang, the competitive diver Guo Jinging and weight lifter Liu Chunhong. The winner will be announced in Beijing on the 9th April 2006, in a ceremony full of honours. This selection of the world's top atheletes is the 20th event, an event similar to the Lareus award, held yearly in Monte Carlo, Monaco. True, aside from the controversial Taufik, we hope that Taufik will be able to win the prestigious title. If he succeed, Taufik has earned the title of "World's most perfect athlete", holding the Olympic god medal, title of World champion and World's Top Athlete. Let's hope. Let's go back to the goal of returning the supremacy of Men's badminton world, Thoas Cup 2006. In the history of Thomas Cup, in which Indonesia compted in since 1958, the preparation for this Thomas Cup is really an ominous sign. We can always preach optimism, the hope of winning the pride of nations and countries is once more focused on sports. Chris John has started the year as the featherweight WBA champion. We still hope Taufik is similar to the infamous US tennis player, John McEnroe, no matter how controversial he is, when it comes to the responsibility of defending his nation and country, on Davis Cup, John will put aside all his personal issues. If needed, he is willing to represent the country without financial rewards, as long as the Star Spangled Banner flies as the Davis Cup champion's flag for the team. The evidence have shown that. What more does Taufik have to chase? Achievements, he has plenty. Money and Assets, he has a two billion dollar house, a gift from Sutiyoso, in his hand, a beautiful wife, the position of the son-in-law of General Manager of KONI central are all his. The rumour is that he has yet to receive the title deed for his house, hence Taufik showed his antics that causes headaches to many people. When inquired about Taufik, the ex General Managers of PBSI such as Soebagio HS, Chaerul Tanjung, must have the same perception. Now only you know? That is how he is! Now is your turn to have all the headaches. Thomas, Thomas, Will you come back to Indonesia again?[/SIZE]
