Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei off court.. are they friends? or do they detest each other?

[giant_q_tip]

well... ive seen them shake hands and hug each other after matches etc.. but how about off the court?

[ants]

Chong Wei is much closer to Taufik than LinDan. However both LCW and LD is okay with each other off court. But they dont spend much time with each other after tournaments.

[Dr. Evil]

How about Gade. I see both of them always argue on court about the lines

[Zabee]

that's part of the game....i think

[koo_fan]

I don't think Lin dan had problem with Lee Chong Wei, when it comes to personal. At least, i haven't heard any.

Lin dan vs taufik is classic la.

[Zabee]

let's hope it won't be like Fergie-Benitez then.......

[Amin Khalili]

How about Gade. I see both of them always argue on court about the lines
gade ... from what i see , he is quiet friendly and generous(dont know how to spell)
lee chong wei ... ermmmh .. no need to explain ~ almost all know already

[Zabee]

sdo you mean polite ?? & well manner

[16FeathRPassioN]

it'd be fun to read sombody's personal experience regarding any of those players off court relationship, i guess it could become a hot gossip thread ;)
i hope to hear a clear cut story of rivalry among any of the top players (off court) :d:d

I'm not sure but I heard Gade really doesn't like LCW after the Malaysian Opens when he lost in the semis.

[Amin Khalili]

MO 09? or any other years?

[phamd124]

MO 09? or any other years?

LCW's only time playing against Gade in the semis of the Malaysian Opens in 2009.

Haha, maybe. But I still have faith in LCW. :D

[koo_fan]

Basically, i don't think Lee Chong Wei is being dislike by other players. He seem to preserve himself, didn't he? don't think Lindan dislike him, let alone Gade, ~

Iv had a personal experience with an Indonesian player. His name was Aji Basuki Sindoro . He came over from indonesia to compete in the Australian International with 1 of the australian members in doubles. Ashley brehaut i think he played with.

I was playing in this tournament and warming up on the warmup courts. he was there warming up with ashley and i was just amazed at some of the shots he was playing. he saw i was interested and walked up to me with ashley and introduced themselves. We talked for about 20 minutes and he was simply the nicest guy i have ever met. Ashley went back to the normal courts to rest and aji asked if i wanted a hit.. so ofcourse i was in shock but accepted. He spent the next hour helping me out with technique and concentrating on giving me more power and accuracy for my jump smash.
Then i was called for my match. So i thanked him and he wished me goodluck.

For the next 4 days of the tournament everytime we saw each other he stoppd for a chat. Which lasted anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. Depending on how busy he was.
Unfortunately i have lost contact with him as i didnt exchange details with him.

The other experience i had was at the same tournament meeting a malaysian player who took out the singles title. Ismail Saman was his name. And again he said he trains many times with lee chong wei and the malaysian national squad. Same deal he was just the nicest guy and spent a good 20 minutes having a chat with him.

My personal experiences :) Other than that im good friends with Ashley Moss who is the current Australian Mens singles champion. He now lives in denmark and plays for a club over there so hes living the dream :) Hopefully i can make it to where he has gotten too over the next couple of years :D:D

[ctjcad]

..this post, above, relates to???...:confused:

[george@chongwei]

i believe every players are friends off court;)

[jaydee]

Peter Gade says in Malaysia he is closest to LCW and Wong Choon Han in the most recent online chat if you guys have read it...

[koo_fan]

I bet he is. Gade seems to be o.k. with anyone.

[Zabee]

yjere's many types of people in this world

[bananakid]

LCW has to hate Lin Dan for the fact that Lin Dan took the gold medal of Beijing OG, and AE09 away from LCW... just imagine how LCW is going to feel when Lin Dan defeats LCW in this year's world championship. Lin Dan then will forever be known as the "dream" destroyer... destroying LCW's dream of having any of OG, AE, and WC within an one year period.:cool: Now that's another grand slam victory by Lin Dan.

[koo_fan]

LCW has to hate Lin Dan for the fact that.....

Shouldn't be a problem for Lee Chong Wei and any other players to motivate themselves. ~ i'll get use to hear Lee Chong Wei said, "I hate Lin Dan". Chong Wei, show us what u got.;)

why should he? they are 'enemies' on court but friends outside the court:cool:

[Zabee]

yeah it's not like LCW are Fergie while Gade is Mourinho........

[General Foo]

yeah it's not like LCW are Fergie while Gade is Mourinho........

how is this comparison even valid. if anyone is fergie, its lin dan and you should be ashamed comparing gade to mourinho, if anything gade is wenger and lcw is the young pretender mourinho but not as cocky lol. Then there's taufik he's obv benitez...

[Zabee]

i just give a mere example ..1'st Mourinho isn't cocky at all in my opinion ..the one who are cocky arrogant aren't Wenger or Rafa but it's Fergie.....

[General Foo]

lol u dont have a clue. mourinho is the cockiest manager in the world. he talks so much. fergie has reason to be cocky.

ps sorry for the detour

[phamd124]

Lol Zabee, Mourinho is the cockiest son of a [profane] there is in badminton. AND he can't really walk the talk.

[Zabee]

well everyone has thier fav manager & i like mourinho style ....& because of him Chelsea win some titles during his tenure .....we'll see if Inter win the Serie A under him....i never like Fergie anyway like Pique always said i don't even understood a single english word he said...

[george@chongwei]

relax guys, lets not getting out of the topic:cool:;)

Bro, why ya hating Fergie? lol... Chill mate, we understand, by the way you talk, you're just a hater, more like Man U hater... because you just can't accept them being the best team in the world that is also led by Fergie... Not like you know him personally... No offense to you, but just the pattern that I can see... i may be wrong.. :rolleyes:

Anyway lets get back to topic... :D

[samkool]

well... ive seen them shake hands and hug each other after matches etc.. but how about off the court?seriously now, when would they have time to hang out & get to know each other?

[Zabee]

sry for the comparison , yeah you're rigth i hated Man U

[krizlid98]

i think chong wei have already knew lin dan's HP number XD

[giant_q_tip]

seriously now, when would they have time to hang out & get to know each other?

even professional players have lives lol football players in england from rival teams occasionally go to the same clubs to party and hang out
