u guys are looking at lcw on a narrow view. Of course lcw look fast and furious against other foes, those other foes aren't playing at LD's speed and cunningness. The reason is that LD is faster, therefore, it makes your shortsightness to perceived lcw as playing slow against LD. It is absurd to say lcw only play fast and furious with everybody except when playing against LD.
i do thx player like lcw which is able to bring the best of LD out for us badmiton to witness his true potential. Without lcw/TH/PG, we will never get to see ld's 5th and 6th gears in action.
let me conclude with this remark. - u r wrong to say lcw is leading the world MS like LD. Ever since LD absent after the 08 OG, LCW did not win a single title of all the available tournaments: macau open, french open, JP open, denmark op, dutch open, NZ open, and taipei open. When LD back from 3 months of no competitive badminton, LCW is still can't do it and seem far behind LD. - when LD was absent, the MS winners of above opens were SDK(2), PG(2), TH, simon S, LeeTS, Andre Tedjono. It goes to show that there is no clear dominating players, which prove all others are distance distance apart from LD. i do give credit to TH, he is a smart player. He do his best on that chinese player to gauge himself, after that he gave up because he dont want to be humilated by LD.
there was a post match interview but i dunno mandarin. Found a video with subtitles. Both men were humble. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWLT0WW6S2Y
this video is from pre-final match interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JIFqWlQa2M&feature=channel
Guys.. Dont any of you remember that at one time they only looping the birdie each other until LCW hit it out.. This is funny one..
well, there are people saying best way to beat LD is to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK. Well LD was letting lcw to launch attack.
I really dislike how LCW was blaming his teammates(in the interview) for not "supporting" him like team China can do for Lin Dan. Does that mean he wish he has a team like Lin Dan does and a head coach like LYB, so he can get "support"? I am surprise how Lin Dan was defending LCW for the butt whopping he handed to LCW. It's like Lin Dan is growing as a player and as a person, while LCW remains as a kid blaming this and that for his own defeat time after time.
Was LCW blaming his teammates for not supporting him? . How did LCW blame his teammates for not "supporting" him? I will be so surprised if he really did that... because it just doesn't make sense. Because LCW should be playing for his teammates and his country. .
lcw mean...just he in the main draw for bam......u know what i mean??? haha...gc is too old for lcw... haha...ya...i agree...lcw should just go to play with those arvint bhat,lts,akt in final......SO...NO NEED to lost to ina ms 3 times...in a row...DO lcw go nz???dutch???DO?or taipei?......he just lost 3 times to another badminton powerhouse...not to lts,ss,akt and not to pg...... aiya...no need lar...lcw should just go play those international challenge...sure win...then u no need say he didnt win any title......correct???...
Well he said BAM has to send him to tournaments because there is no one that can replace him from Malaysia unlike China who have BCL and CJ behind LD.
LCW wasn't saying he wanted support from his teammates. He was stating that Lin Dan has BCL and CJ to represent the country in tournaments so that Lin Dan has time to train. LCW has no other singles player to represent Malaysia, so he has to step up and be the one to do it and not have as much time to train as Lin Dan.
are u watching the match the other way round??? lin dan was attacking and attacking a lot more than lcw in the 2nd set
