lol, Yup. Can be called trend but ctjcad one is "historical trends". I'm refering to "current trends", like current market trends for a product or the graph at the share market.
- Is LCW the only player who's beaten LD 3x??..if not, then what's the big deal.. - LD has to get a special coach as in Tang Xianhu just to counter LCW?..If i recall, Tang Xianhu joined CHN team in the late 90s/early 2000. No, he wasn't hired just to coach LD (as he coached Xia Xuanze before). Further, he's been coaching LD way before LCW made his mark and achievements. Nothing to do with LCW. Also, i believe Tang Xianhu is there to guide LD not only when he faces LCW, but also the other top MS players (e.g. Gade, Taufik). - Yes, not much doubt abt CHN having better support system for LD (besides the coaching & training system they also have the players/sparring partners). And it doesn't only apply for the MS but for all the events. - Sure, LCW has bounced back after poor outings before. But we're focusing on his matches vs. LD when it mattered most, those are the ones which reflect LCW's & LD's frame of mind. The only possible time, if i recall, where LCW had a success over LD in a major tourney was probably their match in the 2008 Thomas Cup KO Rd tie & the 2007 Sudirman Cup group play (even then CHN still won).
its not a big deal whether lcw beat ld 3x or more its a big deal when ld fans starts using the words generous... and one should know why such comment should not be in bc yes, tang xianhu has been coaching lin dan for a long time with breaks in between one of our bc members from china did mentioned txf went back to fujian to coach his son prior to tc10 while others said he is old and can take only 1 student lin dan must be the lucky one or there is something behind
It also depends on LD's motivation... He wasn't really motivated at Ae and So, he was at TCup... We know what happened then...
I think he meant to say Lin Dan is unstoppable when LD is motivated. Looks like the post I posted in #137 doesn't really do anything. I think I should give up trying to reason with LD's fans. Maybe, it's better we just sitback and let them post whatever they want. This way, we can at least save ourselves a bit of time.
..LD's success has more to do with him and his preparation than the presence of TXH coaching him.. ..another scenario: Should LD fail to win the WC this yr with Tang Xinhu present & coaching him, then what comment would all the MAS Boleh crowd in here make?..
the thing has a lot to do with lin dan success in winning unless one can't see what's happening during the game its just like a remote control car
LCW would find it very difficult to defeat LD and TXH combined . In my book, TXH has a lot to do with LD's performance against LCW (especially at the 2008 Olympic Games). When you have met and talked to TXH, you will understand how great his teaching/coaching is. LCW would find it very difficult to defeat LD and TXH combined. .
when anyone mentioned lin dan is/was motivated i like to know what makes them think lin dan is/was motivated and how the hell they know how lin dan is/was motivated what are the sign, what are the source of this motivation? p/s i certainly don't expect anything from cooler (think he will be back soon) certainly not 'when the stars are all lined up....'
You can also say the same Sidek has a lot to do with LCW's failures against LD or anyone else. Everytimes when LCW was down and look back to Sidek for advices etc he always has that blank look on his face as to say 'dont look at me, what do I know' expression.
i have seen that and are you telling me by watching it again i can see sidek is responsible for that failure? give me a break here! lcw maybe clueless and so was misbun when he looked at him during that match
LD himself attributed his success during TC 2010 was due to coach Tang's presence/input. This was from press interview - unless you think that's all just PR crap. This was why in my PM to you I mentioned Tang as a factor for LD.
if this guy is going to take a cut of LCW's winning of course he is responsible for the failures. when a player is down and tried every tricks in the book without success and look into his coach for help the last think he wanted is that sidek 'sorry mate, i've given up and so should you' look.
Tong Shi Fu is a chinese men single's coach... In the past, he was Indonesian and he trained some great players like Alan Budikusuma etc...
