    FLEMMING WIBERG, Denmark's team manager:
    "The team who wins the match tonite (between Indonesia and Malaysia) is stronger than us.

    About the crowd, we don't have any problem. One of the reasons why we decided to come here was because the crowd. Here is one of the best places to hold the Thomas Cup. Playing in this stadium full of roaring spectators is fun for us.

    "We didn't field Peter Gade (when playing Germany) so that he could save his energy to meet Malaysia or Indonesia in the semi-final tommorrow.

    "We have two great doubles pairs, World Champions as well as All England and Europe champions.

    There is no reason to split them because they are just the best in the world.

    "Sony played well tonight --unlike in previous matches, and so did Taufik. They also got supports from the crowd."


    INDONESIA VS MALAYSIA 3-1

    SIGIT PAMUNGKAS, Indonesia's men doubles coach:
    "The performance of our first pair was not so convincing but we will evaluate it with the team manager and will seek ways how to improve the strategy.

    ALVENT YULIANTO, Indonesia's doubles player:
    "At first, I was confident but it turned out to become a boomerang."

    CHRISTIAN HADINATA, Indonesia's team manager:
    "The Danish team has equal strength both in singles and doubles. Therefore, anyone fielded,

    starting from the first singles must be able to deliver points.

    MISBUN SIDEK, Malaysia's team manager:
    "As predicted before, the Indonesian team was strong and we had only want to try to level them. But they are stronger.

    "Actually i had expected points from Wong Choon Hann, Hafiz and the paier Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah."
