^^Off topic-After the 2008 OG..^^ ..he took 3 months off before participating again in the China Open SS (Nov.). Yes, recovery break for that same reason: to recover and do other press oriented appearances which sound quite normal and expected esp. if you've won the Olympic Gold.
LCW had a great start to the year, how long is Misbun going to stay on? If he can actually clinch the All-England this time, then only I'll start talking. Otherwise, nothing much for now.
lcw as far as i know ms will be around with lcw though he has some planning for the younger ones. let's hope lcw wins a.e. so that we can all hear what you can share with us.
CJ will always be average and like a cyborg, programmed to destroy oponents slower than him. Against someone like LCW he seemed clueless
lol lol if cj hear this he will destroy you for sure... as for him he is still young and there will be a day when he can program himself..
you obviously haven't seen CJ destroyed LCW in 2 straight games in 2008AE. i was at the front row but the match was so easy that i was watching the match on the next court instead.
thats badminton, its hard to say chenjin will definitely lose to lcw or something like that. Depend on condition 1
Yes, I agree. Examples : LCW loses to Chen Long LD loses to Choi Ho Jin There is no such thing as a 100% win chance in badminton
There is a huge different between professional sports & social sports... In social sports, some of the players might not master all the basic thenic but in professional sports, all the players and master the basic thenic and it all down to talents & strategy... In social sports, Players A skill might be Level-100 and Players B skill might be Level 60 But in profesional sports, Player A skill might be Level 1000 and Player B skill Level -987 so the gap isnt that big... compare to social sports..
You misunderstand what I wrote. Everybody was saying like the 3 weeks of training paid off, I was saying I didn't see anything "that paid off". He still played the same and still move the same. Sustaining power? What sustaining power? He has always been known for his high fitness level. He could have won a back to back title last year but made too much mistake in the final against Peter. It was not like he was exhausted then.
your version please ok, let's suppose i misunderstood you! what would be the style of play that would paid off?
we are out of topic! yes, there is not much different between top level professional players, maybe the lower ranking, yes...and social players, well, some maybe 10 out of 1000 but they can still play!
LCW + Misbun = FAILURES, as the record shown. LCW should ditch him soonest if he wants to win a major before his retirement.
hehe let see if 11 ss titles+dunno how much gp gold title,olympic silver medalist and ae runner up is a failures how about the likes of wong chong hann,bao chun lai,simon,sdk,bp,kj???
I don't think LCW is considered a failure for failing to win any major titles. He has won many Super Series and although he will NEVER be as successful as Super Dan, he has still done a lot. If you call this a failure, look at the other players which was mentioned by limsy. I agree that there might be a better coach than Misbun Sidek, but I disagree that Misbun Sidek is a failure.
LCW is certainly not a failure. That I agree. Yes, he has several SS titles tucked away in his cabinet. Its just that he gets cold feet when it comes to the big events. Anyway, the AE may be his breakthrough...
totally agree here, lcw or lcw + ms or ms is/are NOT failure. only failures in terms of winning majors are all of us here finding out what to read and figuring out how to reply...
LCW I have said before is an excellent player, existing to watch and I would pay to see. It is quite tough that in his era, there are 2 other 'greatest' players facing him, blocking him on his way to major titles. When Rudy was king for 8 AEs, great players like Aik Huang, Punch, Sven were bridesmaids. If it was not for INA having Rudy, this trio may have won their share of majors and in the case of AH and Sven, may win more than 1 AE...tough. I am looking forward to AE, with LD idling and LCW coming off 2 SS wins...if LCW can win his 1st major, AE could be the breakthrough..but it is not easy though with everyone aiming at him..and LD preparing for it too.
