Datuk LCW: Time to perform on the big stage

When many forumers lamented about lack of new blood in badminton today, here comes K.Tago.

In the PAW thread, no one gave him a chance. Everybody was talking about LD oc BCL vs LCW final and here he comes. All credits should go to this japanese youngster.

I did not watch his previous matches but againts CJ & BCL, he played with courage, threw himself all over the place and succeeded when it mattered most.

Good mental toughness and positive attitudes brought wonders to him.

How many new players have the guts to fight back, point to point with his more established counterparts eventhough he was trailing 1 game and most importantly did not succumb to pressure at the very crucial stage?

Not anyone from Malaysia at least. Other newcomers definitely can learn a thing or two from the japanese and koreans.

Hope we have a great final today and may the best man wins.

yes, nobody would believe tago can beat 2 of china best players accept maybe a handful in the whole world.

this is a very3x good example for the up and coming junior players worldwide - even a rock can change its shape if drops of water keep dropping on it.

as for tago he just played with nothing to loose and with no fear and his next round of tournament will test his mental strength...:D
 
Maybe he likes the word maybe. I'm not sure, maybe...
His personality and demeanor is just too "nice". People who use the word "maybe" a lot are usually unsure of themselves.

I can imagine how much better he would play if he had a more aggresive, confident and assertive attitude.

......... maybe ............. ;):p
 
I did talk to Hendrawan a bit..he thinks Wei Feng has the potential but need a year to groom him.
I will be in Malaysia for few days for Junior Championship..
PM me your number..we can talk about it..

hauge
i will be there for whole week
how about me?:crying:
 
Get it right. I will pay but Loh has not claimed.

I think X Ball is much subdued now and this could be one good reason why LCW deserves to win this AE, barring unforeseen circumstances. :D

Having acquired the experience through so much international exposure and his recent QF 3-game encounter with Korea's new find, Shon Wan Ho, who also helped to knock out China's Chen Long, I hope LCW will not underestimate the young Kenichi Tago.

After many long lean years I believe, Japan can at last claim a place in the AE MS final in Tago, who has created shock waves in the badminton world with his daring performance. His elimination of China's top players, Chen Jin in the QF and Bao Chunlai yesterday, resulted in China not being able to provide a men's singles finalist, unlike in previous years. And this has paved the way for LCW to claim his first noteworthy title, where the world's best players are being paraded.

When BCL himself shocked Lin Dan in the QF, I think even Li Yongbo must be shocked that his favourite son was left out in the MS final line up by his own countryman. LD is supposed to create some sort of history in this centennial anniversary of the AE! Alas, it may never happen again. And LCW does not have to meet his nemesis in this auspicious year of the AE. He needs not worry about his mental capacity in dealing with LD anymore. But he must now refocus his energies on the unlikely finalist, Kenichi Tago, whose mother was an AE WS champion, I heard! I hope coach Misbun has done all the necessary homework to mount another victory, a final and most important one, though not necessarily as tough as the SF victory over Peter Gade.

But Denmark has already been assured of a MD crown and may spoil China's chance in the WS through Tine Rasmussen, who demonstrated her superiority over young and tenacious Saina Nehwal. On the other hand pre-tournament favourite China, has only secured the WD and has lost the MS and MD. Hopefully INA will triumph over China and return home with the XD title at least. So if Tine and Nova/Natsir win, China will have to be contended with only a single title. It must then be a disastrous AE outing for China and Li Yongbo's position may be at stake. :D

Just like last night, I shall stay glued to the TV to watch the proceedings. But unlike last night when I tested my endurance until the early hours of this morning, I'm sure I could retire to bed much earlier! But many thanks to RTM1 which provides the telecast. Singapore has to wait a long, long time before any of our players will appear on Badminton TV again. :mad:

I will celebrate with X Ball, maybe not in person but in spirit at least, when the datuk finally receives the AE trophy (and the cheque that goes with it), thus bringing back the prestigious silverware to Msia last won by sporadic Hafiz Hashim. ;)

Typical noise maker, and hindsight is 20/20.
I ask you, where were you expounding on Tago before this All England event, before round 1, before round 2, before QF?? You come in now after SF and start singing praise on Tago. :rolleyes: Before u go lash out on PAWers for not pawing Tago, i see you didn't PAW at all.

Not only BF forumers lamented about lack of new blood in badminton today, so did peter gade, so did taufik, so did many nameless badminton fans. We lamented no new blood from badminton powerhouse (except china). Japan isn't a powerhouse yet. I don't view Tago as new blood to carry the torch from his senior players, Tago is the FIRST serious MS blood from Japan. This is same for Boonsak, first blood from Thailand. Talking big after the fact is easy. It doesn't take much IQ for that.

FYI, i did PAW Tago to win once and did not PAW against him on other match
Oh did i lash out at our forumers and those who PAWed or my post was just all about K.Tago playing well? About someone without any internationals result playing so well here??
I guess you see things differently because those who replied on my post obviously say otherwise. But i understand how you feel especially after yesterdays matches.
You were right i did not PAW but i aint claiming any credits here unlike you, regardless true or wrong, 1st round or 2nd round, are always making noise and thought highly of yourself.
Typical LD. Learn a thing from Tago!!
No worries because i understand why you wrote like this.:p

Hope you can produce some players like Tago.:)
