..congrats to INA's national team and Li Mao for reaching a new agreement, as i've already had a hunch LM would be joining them..and looks like LM's quest to dethrone CHN's players (esp. LD) and his long time competitor in LYB for the 2012 OG continues (LM banking on INA's young singles talents)..
I would agree with you for the most part, except dethroning LD. I think that LM is no longer looking at the present of dethroning LD, but is putting more work into dethroning CHN's MS once LD retires. He is looking at CJ, CL, WZM, Chen Yuekun, Qiao Bin, Tian Houwei... etc. There is no way he can even produce a player who can defeat LD in such a short span of a year.
..if the goal is to challenge the next group of youngsters from CHN, then most likely Li Mao has to re-sign w/the INA team after the 2012 OG (that scenario is still up in the air), esp. should LD receive the green light to compete in his last OG...Also, LM's goal might be long term, but he surely wants to upset his 2 biggest arch-rival & ex-compatriots, even in a team event, in these next 2 yrs before one of them retires..
I have my doubts because I feel that it is too 'high' a goal in such a short term. Of course he would LOVE to whack LD but I think he should also know that it would be almost impossible... You know what I mean.
ok, to "dethrone LD" maybe sounds a bit ambitious..but i'm sure LM would love to upset both LYB & LD, in one of the major events (just like how the KOR's UC team upset the CHN's UC team in last yr's UC), before LD hangs it up for good..
The general must be busy with his soldiers in his base I suppose when they are ready he will lead them The current ones in qing dao are for warming up
Its really weird watching the QF yesterday and hearing nothing of him mentioned by the INA MNC commentators which include Ricky Subagja, as if Li Mao is nobody worth mentioning or as if there is a too tough reality to speak about. To me it shows the lack of preparation and knowledge by the presenters (not so much Ricky as he's just a guess there)
Any update on Li Mao? There seems to be this very funny silence... And does anyone know how WTM is faring?
My guess is Li mao after assessing the players he had a big headache Remember a doctor was called in to join the team? That probably was the best thing he did Treat the injured first, rest them then fire their muscle
I may not know Li Mao personally But I think this fella is good. Looking at him coaching at one time, lcw and wch, I can see what he can do to any player under him. He modifies their weapon and unlease their desire/hunger to win
There is only Taufik (who is independent player) and Firda in single department TOP 16 Indonesia Open 2011...That's horrible..
