2009 All England: It appears that Taufik is fitter this time . So it appears that Taufik has worked on his fitness to prepare for this 2009 AE. .
I do believe that he came into the tournament with extra determination, but then again I doubt he would've tired either way after a first round match.
Just because it was debate to death doesn't mean squat. As far as I am concern, professional player opinion >>>>>>> fanboy opinion. But I can see where you are going through all your post........... sucking up to Lindan. Its too bad that you are so blinded in defending your idol that you fail to realize no one is denying Lindan's achievement. Unlike Taufik, Lindan work his ass off during training and I can respect him for his commitment. But that doesn't change the fact that winning back to back AG is far harder than an annual WC or All England.
Cooler, As I said in Round 32 He did NOT use ANY newly-acquired technique..... only playing with the skills, power and focus...comparable to his when he was only 13....
like i said many times too, LD beat TH 2 times in 06 AG. It became a bore to keep beating TH in the same week i tell ya. It seem TH fans has only AG to talk about, a non event to the chinese team. U can also see XXF and zhang ning played like half asleep as well. ZN lost to yippy in 2 sets. The biggest win at the 06 doha badminton was TH's mouth. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38674
Don't worry about cooler . Always the same, always the same... I really wonder if he believes half the stuff he says himself! But it wouldn't be a Taufik thread without him!
Taufik To Cooler..not sure why you have Taufik so much......Lin Dan himself mentioned that Taufik can rise on certain occassion..and thats true....he won AG twice...and also beating Lin Dan in 2005 WC...Taufik was the first player ever to be OG and WC Champion for the first time..yeah....techniques wise..he is the best in World Badminton.....even Wang Lin from China is one of his fan.......so just relax.........PS I dont hate Lin Dan...but I just think Taufik is the better player than Lin Dan....
for the record, i did not brought up AG into this thread. However, i should have the rights to reply with correct misinformation. So if i reply your off topic discussion, i'm a hater?? Like i said again and again, when TH fans only bright spot is TH's 2 AG titles. Come on, even lcw did lousy in AG. Why? because LD and LCW dont treat AG as a serious title. By my estimate, i think LYB doesn't even want their ill prepared chinese team to play in the last (06) AG. He did it for to support the AG image.
Peace... what I meant..reading your comment from time to time...showing that you dislike Taufik so much...thats all......its just my opinion mate....peace...
i also criticize Al Gore, and (CO2) global warming alarmists like crazy. Does that makes me a environment and mother nature hater?
Even before the individual tournament started (AG 06)..Liyongbo said..Taufik is finished..hhahaha..then what happen???? He won the Gold Medal......beating Lin Dan.....
i said ill or not well prepared. LD beat TH in 2 or the 3 matches, would u say TH didn't tried as hard as LD? it is obvious u TH fans don't have much meats to talk about this AE open. Th fans loves to live in the past, wayyyyyyyy back in the past, like a 13 yrs old TH, LOLOLOLOL
No I say LD beat TH in 2 team matches, and lost to him in the individual finals. And I say they both seemed to be trying. Why do you say that? You're the one that plays down team events (for instance when Lin Dan lost to Lee Chong Wei at the Thomas Cup - I'm sure I remember you saying it wasn't important to the team for him to win). I'm not interested in who's better. I don't care . Anyway what's it to you who is better than who?? What do you have to do with either of them?
