Gideon Marcus Fernaldi / Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo

I think it was the Indonesian people's choice (vote) that they were awarded Athlete of the year. Seems like they don't mind the way he have been representing their nation.
Believe me, if you had known how the "elite" and "high class" people behave in Indonesia especially for the past few months, I don't think they would think less of Kevin's childish behavior. He is harmless, adorable, well-behaved and actually very respectful in comparison :p:p:p

I am not going to ask him to stop fooling around completely but I hope he (and Marcus) would be more matured emotionally. I can't ask the opponents to not do anything to annoy him either. Definitely no getting too emotional on court, no thumb down gesture, etc.

Anyway, if anything from this video would get Kevin's attention and to reflect, I bet it would be his behavior after 09:16 lol :D:D

Unfortunately I don’t know enough Indonesia and Indonesians but it’s interesting. Went to Bali in 2016 for a few weeks but didn’t know a thing about badminton at the time (I know I know...) but I felt like locals often made a point to show their difference between being Balinese and “other” Indonesians and I don’t recall seeing much badminton centers or shops if any. More football activities.

Anyhow there’s nohing catastrophic about Kevin SS’ behaviour, it’s just some funny/weird attitude here and there and I’m sure off court he means no harms to anyone. May be that’s how he deals with the intensity of a professional match. Some shout, some hush, he clowns around :rolleyes::)
 
Is there anywhere we could find any information about minions timetables for the beginning of next year? I supposed they will participate in Indonesia Masters like Ahmad/Natsir. India Open for their 4th consecutive title there?
India Open has changed it's schedule for 2019 (will be on March) ---> https://corporate.bwfbadminton.com/events/calendar/2019/
So, there will be only 3 World Tour tournaments in January: Thailand Masters, Malaysia Masters and Indonesia Masters.

There is 2018 National Championships in December 18-22, mixed team events on even year.
I think both Kevin and Gideon will play that National Championships, as Susy Susanti said at PBSI's website that all national players will be sent back to their respective clubs and Susy mentioned about top elite players will add gears to the team and their young players as well.

In 2016, Djarum Kudus won 3-0 against Jayaraya Jakarta [matches result here], the opposite result in 2014 where Jayaraya takes the podium with their 3-2 triumph [matches result here].

So, Kevin/Ahsan vs Setiawan/Gideon will be in the dream final I guess...

But I vote for minions with new jerseys :D
I think Ratchanok like that jerseys :cool:

Hopefully they would get a new one for the all england next year. I actually kinda miss the batik jersey that kido/hendra wear in 2010, but I doubt yonex would produce that :D

I see. I hope that youtube channel has it then, I remember Indonesia Open streams by djarumbadminton.com weren't available for anyone outside Indonesia.
 
Pairs these days are too moody. They feel hurt when they lost a big tournament or lost a final. Not being able to move on. I think its more of ego

Thats why its difficult to compete. .

Conrad/Kolding, Li/Liu, GohTan, InoueKaneko including AnggaRicky. How many times can one take it losing in Final?
 
@j4ckie I saw a few minutes of the video and I thought the behaviour was Mafia-like.


his antics became a little bit too much since hongkong open last year, don't know why. but gotta say when he's like that he rarely lose :D

angga/ricky...minions really destroy their confidence after losing 2 final in 2016.
 
I feel like KSS plays better when he is more emotional. More grit to his game. He should keep that emotions in the game but not show it to the opponent imo and channel it elsewhere
 
According to herry ip, there's some extra training for marcus gideon on the defense, he notice that a lot of pairs have been targeting him lately.
 
oops.. Most of the videos are against LiLiu, ConradKolding and GohTan huh. Cant say they are not broken .

Realise most of the times he did his antics when he is winning , 1 game up or equal in the game. No argues, he can do what he wants since he has the most titles(you need to back it up), he can destroy opponents mentality and when opponents is up 1 game, i think they are too excited to beat him.

While TanQiang did that fake end up losing lol. Then that is clown.

They should put life size pop stand of the opponents at his courtside perhaps. So he could show his emotions not towards the opponents directly while keeping the emotions in the game?

Tan Qiang changed his mind.

Seriously, I am starting to believe that Kevin is running for President with your campaign.
 
Watching this makes me wonder how Cai/Fu trained against 4 players. Is it more effective with more players on the other side?
I would think so. Logically speaking. Having 2 guys covering the back and 2 covering the front? It forces you to play harder, play smarter, and challenge a pair that huge margin more. If you can beat twice the number of opponents who are always ready and don't have to move as much as a single pair does, would you not be playing better? I know it sounds simplistic but just consider it?
