    Sorry... Are you sure? No worries freedom here. Here are my idols to be frank. Chou Tien Chen, Hsu Jen Hao, Wang Tzu Wei, Angus Ng Ka Long, Hu Yun, Wei Nan. Vincent Wong Wing Ki, Taufik Hidayat, Lin Dan, Chen Long, Kento Momota, Kenichi Tago, Kenta Nishimoto, Nozomi Akuhara, Akane Yamaguchi, Viktor Axelsen, Jan O Jorgensen, Marc Zwiebler, Brice Leverdez, Lee Hyun Il, Kim Hyo Min, Lee Jang Mi, etc... and the lists goes on. Very long lists.

    I'm sure Cai Yun would be great friends with Hendra Setiawan if he spoke Bahasa-- but as it is he barely understands Khoo Kean Keat's Federated States Chinese. He's still undecided about becoming a coach under the Chinese national system and finds alternative badminton club structures and training very interesting:

    "The trouble with our nation-wide professional badminton structures is that we end up with only a few play-styles, and fall into the mental trap of looking for the next Lin Dan, Chen Long, etc.; professional badminton should be about finding people who want to play badminton and are good at it, and then helping them to realize whatever potential/style that they have. In my day, there was Chen Hong, Lin Dan, Bao Chunlai, etc. who all played differently and required individual strategies to beat."

    "LD can only play the way he does because of his particular muscle mass and skeletal frame, etc. but all I see in national team now are XXL, XXS or other "versions" of Lin Dan or people trying to play like Lin Dan; Fu Haifeng and I don't really discuss strategy and actually disagree about how badminton should be played, but it just so happens that he tends to pick up the shots I tend to leave, while I tend to pick up the shots that he tends to leave."

    Truer words were never spoken-- none of the Danish MS plays like Peter Gade and none of the INA MS tries to play like Taufik, whereas Tian Houwei and Son Wan Ho has no personal "style" to speak of; Mathias Boe also noted that Carsten Morgensten is completely different from him, but they simple beat every other Danish MD when they were first paired up in training.

    Raw talent or chemistry is so rare that you should nurture it when you find it, instead of trying to fit it into some pre-determined mould. So Cai Yun is pretty envious of Hendra Setiawan and Lee Yong Dae, who have at least found 2 good MD partners in their careers.

    Oh how I miss my favorite idol Kento Momota, Kenichi Tago and Kenta Nishimoto. How I wish they are playing in the Thomas Cup 2016 right now. If not surely I will be able to see my favorite Japanese team win the Thomas Cup again. :)

    Sorry I don't understand this. I just happen to have the opportunity to learn. I just have basic knowledge for those languages. Anyway sorry to tell you that in this thread this is not the right place to talk about languages. Sorry I myself also got carried away just now. :)

    Congratulation INDONESIA!!!

    I believe Indonesia Thomas Cup has bright future ahead considering this year's team is still young.
    In 2018, Jonatan, Ginting, Ihsan, and 1 more MS, probably Firman, Bayu, etc. will be more mature
    in MD, we also have many stocks of young and good players...


    Bring back our glory!!
