u got it! politics... who bothers bout badminton? most important is tat they win the elections... who bothers whether kkk/tbh o ctf/lww o lcw wins the WC, AE, MO, etc..... AS LONG AS THEY WIN THEIR ELECTIONS!!!!! rite?
Frankly speaking, no offence means, but the truth is, if not because of Rexy, KKK-TBH will not go this far and will just flop like Hafiz Hashim. Remember when he won the All-England and was eliminated in the first/second-rounds of every single tournament? That's the Malaysia mentality that we have.
i noticed during the finals.. KKK came out from players area ( beside the yonex racquect stringing area) and chatted with a few ppl in blue batik in the hall. even when the ladies doubles match was set to end in straight sets. i couldnt help noticing why he is not at least warming up .. or do some strecthing to keep his body warm if he has already warmed up. It looks strange at one point he walked over to shook hands with a few men in batik.. smiled .. chatted up for a minute or so.. then he walked over to this far end of the stadium.. and sat down slouching on a plastic chair and chatted up again with two men fellas in blue batik. this time.. it went on for at least 15 minutes. anyone in the stadium would have noticed this. LWW and TBH at least did not wander around the stadium. they stayed within the players' area and at most.. did some strecthing just outside the area. Even taufik who has just won his match stayed within the players' area. CTF was no where to be seen..in the stadium but i am sure he and LWW was more focused on the task ahead between the two pairing.
That is the problem with Malaysian sports. Look at the last time we won the Thomas Cup in KL. The players were made instant millionaires when they were all given prime Selangor lands. After that it was all downhill. And worst still some of the platers ended up as bankrupts.
I agree with both of you too, I was a bit upset when I heard KKK&TBH and CTF&LWW had attended the performance game invited by some politics group along their way down to JB. Pure sport is what we want, sport is just a "show" when it is mixed up with politics.
nobody take rexy words seriously.. perhaps this time defeat is good.. stop all the bad influence/external factors that will affect our players!
Rexy is really a very good coach and sincere to all his players.He treat them like his own family.I really don't want to see that he will dissapointed with BAM.We really need him.
aiya, all lame excuses...as professional players, no matter what's hitting them, they must know how to manage in a wise way. in another words, they are lack of professionalism. i am pretty sure when Rexy/Ricky won the AE or Olympics, their government must have organised parties or outings for them. yet, they still perform well. i would say we give them another chance and look how they do in Sin Open. after that, we only further discuss with their performance.
i think Rexy will make sure that they get back on the right track before SO starts. Rexy is very good at motivation, and his passion for kkk/tbh will certainly bring them up to the top spot again in no time.
The thing is we cant be having Rexy as MAS MD coach forever. So KKK/TBH has to start having an auto-pilot (playing without coach's assistance) program installed in their system.
lets hope that they will bounce back...anyone who close to kkk, tell him to train harder and we will support him...
the politic just treated these badminton players as artists ? too bad .. polluted our badminton heroes
