That is not the way a WC winning pair should look. In fact far from it. TBH seem ok but KKK is totally out... game wise as well as physical outlook. Admittedly, the Korean pair look like a strong contender for the crown.
Only know defense and lift HIGH. Is this the tactic instructed by Rexy? Shameful defeat! They actually let go the game. What kind of mentality is this? Shame on you both KOO KIEN KEAT / TAN BOON HEONG!
My father actually asked both of them go back to kampung(village) and collect cow **** after he watched the game. Dirty words came out from his mouth throughout the game. My father actually become ANGRY BIRDS!
KKK was never a force at the net since last year's WC final (Yes, they made it to the final of AG and AE even though he was not a force at the net) TBH meanwhile has become quite a complete player. But his frailties in defense are still there. About the lifting thing, I think its because YYS was totally dominating and controlling the net area where KKK couldn't do a single thing. Rather than calling them all sorts of names, why don't we discuss why they can't be a force any more?
Aiya, Ah Koo and Ah Tan, you two have let down your coach, Rexy, very badly. He did everything for you two, short of going to the court.
KKK obviously lacks training.. thus even though he is young physically he doesn't perform as well as he used to at the net but doesn't realize so. That's why he's still doing all the funny shots that used to bring him glory but can't recover fast enough for the follow up shots. Boon Heong MUST change partner if he wants to win anything at the Olympics because I dln't think KKK is going to change his attitute or improve anymore after watching them for the last 2 years. KKK doesn't deserve this partner anymore. And Rexy needs to go. TOO MUCH familiarity breeds contempt.
In think their way of play is very predictable, their way to react to challeges is weak, their way train and prepare for tournament was insufficien to produce challeges to other top pairs or even 2nd tier pairs................ What went wrong.........?? We been talking since 2 years ago................Rexy still cant solve the problems or they refuse to change !! Oops...........the only thing that keep changing is KKK hair style, but in the bad way too..........just like his badminton.....sadly !
sack the coach, change the partnership and hire wong tat meng or frost back. The coaching staff is still in denial. I've said to split them long long ago...
Things already been said 2 years b4 this. yeap.. about their keep defending and lifting the shuttle high up for opponent to smash..yet, they will didn't learn their mistakes and played poorly. If u compare their play with korean or chinese pair, u will noticed a HUGE difference.. So, the money for them to go to bath 1 week b4 the tournament, all the physical training, mental training, video analysing of the korean pair..etc.. goes down to the drain without any medal in the wc.
Just pair HTH & TBH together after olympic 2012. KKK should only play mixed double @ change MD partner. Or just concentrate on saloon business.
