Dear Fuzzball: Clear Your Head!!! What's up with Fuzzball???:crying: (AKA Goofball...) Everyone knows he has more talent and potential than he has been showing recently. Everyone but him, it looks like! Someone needs to sit him down and have a heart-to-heart talk with him. He's got BCL's number, but in the later stages of any tournament he flatters to deceive. I think he just enjoys himself too much on the court! Sometimes it feels like even he can't believe, "Hey! I'm actually playing international badminton! With all my idols! OMG!!!" He needs some serious motivational lectures...
he is really coming like what george say he respect his idol too much the match against bao chun lai is brilliant! u can see how he opt when to smash and when not,constructing the rally very well,will be great given one more year of experience
Agree he has the potential and the skill and talent to become a real champion. But his mind is fragile, and his attitude is not yet "tough". Like, he does not have that mental "steel" that is required to be consistently successful. I think he is still going through the stage where he is enjoying the "experience" too much, and not taking the "responsibilities" seriously enough. He needs the confidence to know deep in his heart that he belongs at the top. And then, he must play like he belongs at the top. He still has not found that way inside his head. My 2 cents...
I think you are being too hard on a 21 years old:crying::crying:. Asking to play like he is belonging at the top in the era of LinDan/post Taufik is asking too much don't you think :crying::crying:. Poor Tago, not getting credit for his hard work. How cruel can this world be ? You will get labelled as 'gambateh' fans soon, cobalt, as opposed to jiayou and boleh fans .
i was all cheering for tago when he meet bao chun lai as a fans since 2006 and he proved that he is at least better than the china number 4(3rd should be chen long now) and still 3 more to climb(ld,cj and cl) he shows the great fighting spirit and mentality to dispose the 200% well prepared dicky in 2nd round,which he fight and run for every inch on court i believe he will be better than chen long in future
My gut feeling tells me the same thing. IMHO,Tago seems to possess more qualities than CL. Could you call this talent? Anyway,I might be horribly wrong though.
No, not being "too hard!" There are great players in every era. He cannot afford to make that an excuse! LOL. And fans should also stop treating him like he is still a kid (and yes, maybe its time he stopped behaving like one! ) I am not saying it is his "fault" either. Just calling it like I see it. He does need some people around him who can instill that level of confidence he really needs. At the top and international level of play, you need more than just playing skills, technique and physical strength. You also need mental strength. That is what will separate the winners from the also-rans. He needs someone who can help him in that department. Personally, I like the guy a lot. As I said, I believe in him. The problem is, I don't think he believes so much in himself!
PS. I remember even the perceptive Gill Clark mentioning that he reminds her very much of a younger Taufik. So he can't be bad at all!
congrats to kenichi tago beaten chen long,adding to his collection only ld left for the top 4 china ms that he yet to beat!
Tago has added some dimension to his game. Everyone has anaylised his game after AE2010... that's why he didnt made much progress after that. Now he is back with STINGS! Good to have someone good from the land of the rising sun
Tago lost out to DPY in the Quarter-finals of the KO. I haven't seen the match, so I can't comment on it. But I still have great faith in his talent and capacity. In fact, he is one of the guys with a good chance to make it to the OG2012 finals, IMO.
Probably the fact that he had played two three game matches to get to his QF match with DPY didn't help. And seeing as his previous match was 89mins long, he was probably quite tired
is he wearing a key pendant necklace? I am wearing one too. When one turns 21, the parents will give him/her a key pendant necklace. Is this the same in Japan?
