England did not win many titles when he was a doubles' coach there. It could be the reason why Rexy wants to continue working in Malaysia despite a change of position and maybe set up his own coaching center there, after that.

Rexy's English is quite good. He should have no problem working with English-speaking players.

Err, some facts re ; Rexy.
When he was in England he was responsible for Nathan/Gail winning many tournaments. And his English is pretty good. He's well liked in Europe, just whether he'd want to uproot his family is the question.

And now, 1st. tournament without Rexy and KKK/TBH can't get past the quarters.
Problem is with the players, think they are better than they actually are these days. Guess there'll be another change if this continues.

As usual, give them time and chance.

Did they eat macdonald today? lol.

Just watched the match against lyd/jjs.First game had a flying start, aggressive and on the offense at every opportunity. Second game, slowed down a bit initially whereas koreans upped the tempo. Put up credible fight back in the later half but too far behind. If only they maintained their tempo in the beginning.Rubber set, both 'punchet'... Clearly, the koreans are much fitter!There are some positive signs from them. But definitely need to improve fitness.

**extremenanopowe** · 09-16-2011, 09:03 AM

the korean already knows their weakness an let them take the first set without worry. All the top 4 teams can just do this same old thing to them. It's well known already. If they loose game 1, they will be worse off.

So when will they work harder? I don't think it is a coaching issue. again and again....a total dis-respect for a top class coach.

if you support kkk-tbh, it means you are encouraging other players to do the same.

Sad case.

It is good to support respectful and disciplined players. Not players with attitude and unprofessional mentality.

You have to let them know well that they are in the wrong. Ask the Indonesian fans...

**extremenanopowe** · 09-16-2011, 09:32 AM

Rebellion is encouraged if you do it professionally and it is not your fault.

You cannot blame the coach when you are not fit and purposely AWOL. Suka suka ka? Kampung mentality.

**ksquared** · 09-16-2011, 09:43 AM

Dont get me wrong.My observations of the match (and their weakness) doesnt mean i support them to be disrespectful of rexy. You can see i fully support rexy in my previous comments bout this pair n rexy.

**nokh88** · 09-16-2011, 09:57 AM

JJS/LYD are not at their best. Even if KKK/TBH beat them, it doesn't mean they (KKK/TBH) have improved (mentally or attitude). But they look a bit more positive now. Fitness let them down. They should have gone all out in the 2nd game.

Off topic : I heard PCC speak to KKK in cantonese and TBH in mandarin.

I also agree with you.

I believe that out of the 3 S-Factors (Skill, Speed and Stamina), KKK/TBH are lacking Stamina.

Skill, speed etc etc could be learned, developed and improved in a certain time frame and also along the years but stamina (fitness) need to be trained and upkeep all the time. Out of the three, stamina is the easiest to acquire but also the easiest to lose if one does not consistently keep track of their training intensity, discipline and lifestyle.

That being the case, an athlete shouldn't be out of shape to begin with so its all down to the attitude of the individual players and nothing else.

KKK/TBH did well in the 1st game of the 2011 China Masters MDQF match with variations here and there to outwit JJS/LYD 21-15. But as usual they relaxed in the 2^nd game losing 16-21.
In the rubber, they reverted to their usual practice of lifting the shuttles giving the Koreans a field time of aggressive smashing. Also they showed their lack of stamina to last 3 games. The new coach should work not only on their stamina but also to hammer home the stark fact that they must also go all out in the 2^nd game once they have won the 1^st game.

Total agreement with what was posted.

Why play Game 3, when the match can be won in 2?

very much true... their habitual tactic is so becoming painfully redundant to my eyes... if only these two can be more seriously driven of their winning goal each time they are on court and stop those 'showing off' tactics that eventually make them lose focus and there you go, history will repeat itself... *shaking head profusely*

I don't doubt their ability (i.e skill, etc) but I doubt their way of handling the matters on court when things don't go their way (i.e unforced errors etc) ... whenever I see TBH get frustrated of KKK's over the top errors in the making, I knew things will go awry for this pair...

bro, if they can improve their stamina, they would have done it during rexy days. Obviously their brain is stucked it their butts.

well well said. not only lack of stamina but doesn't have brains too. didnt they get tired always lost in game 2 and get tired in game 3 ?

**OneToughBirdie** · 09-17-2011, 10:42 AM

Sucess is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. That said, Rexy can inspire, coach and teach them all he could but if KKK/TBH are not willing to train hard esp on fitness, they would not go far. Now, for them to tell BAM and BAM kow-tow to them to let them pick their coach, now would TKH and PCC be able or dare to tell KKK/TBH to work their butt of? If they need inspiration, check the article on Gong Zhi Chao, CHN WS legend, she is only 5'1", one of her weapons are speed and stamina, and that is due to her training system, don't need more inspiration than that
