Experience. Confidence. Once you've played against opponents several times, you tend to read their games better. I think CL is a fast learner. He's able to absorb the info given to him by the CHN coaching staff on playing certain opponents and execute them. Plus he is young and has bags of stamina so he should be outlast old geezers like PG, TH and even LCW.
CL is hungry for success and wants to be better than LD. If he wins this OG, there's a high chance he will bag the next one. This means, he is the best of best. So, those LD fans, beware. You got a new hero now... lol
he is mentally stronger.Ya i do think he can be world no1 in the future.among other young players i think he's the best
At the moment he's head and shoulders among the young players. When Axelsen finally comes on the circuit full time, we'll see how he stacks up. The CHN dominance continues...
CL must thank all his team mates (including LD and WZM) and LYB whom they had arrange so many WO. In that scenario where CL receive many opportunities to play at higher level. I really like CL but I'm worry that this is how he will be remembered.
okay.. then If I remember correctly, CL is a successful player, born from some walkouts that his fellow countrymen gave.. lol
. According to the BWF Ranking, Chen Long is China's No.1 player now. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-No.1-until-the-2012-OG?p=1781246#post1781246 I wouldn't be happy if I were Chen Long. After all his effort given, recognition is not received (just because some match-fixing were made). .
i think most sportsmen who had given a lot of hard work to improve their game, would like to win it fair & square... but for China this is more than Sports, its National Pride at Stake.
LCW must not think about retire after Olympic, coz if he do that, he will slow down. More ever, he will get married next year...
If I won 3 out of 4 SuperSeries and the latest premier SS, and beat the World no.1 2 out of 3 I would be happy...
I think even a bloke from Malaysia, denmark or Indonesia would be happy winning 3 successive superseries including a premier, and beat LCW in the final 2 times in a row ;-) And If Tago wins tommorrow I think he would deserve it even if he got a retirement from LD... And I even think LCW deserved the win in Hong Kong SS last year even though he was given a WO from Chen Jin and could rest and get assistance from Chen Long that tired Taufik for him in the semis And in Malaysia he probably didn't win just because of assistance from Sony Kuncoro who retired against Ngyuen so Ngyuen could tire Bao for him to the finals.. In India SS he may have gotten some help by LYB who didn't enter any tough opponents for him , but maybe he still deserved the win ? BTW, If i remember correctly he crushed CL in Malaysia when cl had rested one game more.. 21-9, 21-9. So the obvious conclusion is tha CL has become stronger, or LCW weaker physically.
. You missed the point that many BCers are saying that Chen Long won because of some match-fixing within the Chinese teammates to defeat LCW. However, as I have commented before; Credit ought to be given to Chen Long, whether he defeated LCW with help from match-fixing or not. .
Yes. But the biased fans blaming the loss of lcw on some hours more rest between matches, is similar to blaming your rackets if you loose 21-8, 21-8 in a tournament..It is frankly just looking for an excuse instead of facing reality.... The reasoning is like saying a qualifier that have to play 2-3 matches the day before to get into the tournament will have almost zero chance to reach rd. 2 etc..
I flipped 2 pages back and could not see anyone suggesting that. Do you mean its from another thread? Cos I dont see it here
