And I am fed up of your constant ranting.If he is so bad,then stop watching his game and save your precious time.
You're more realistic, that's also LYB's concern which I share. Still, we're not above wishful thinking for our idols sometimes.
Actually, Ferrerkiko is also an ardent Lin Dan fan, if I'm not wrong,just that he shows it differently.
Clearly,LYB couldn't hide his deep disappointment with Lin Dan's WC QF loss to JOJ which he claimed "was the worst match that Lin Dan played". LYB:" Regardless of whether it is skills/tactics or mental attitude, Lin Dan did not meet my expectations at all. That he lost is not the main reason for my dissatisfaction, but how he (played and) lost. In that encounter , he did not show sufficiently strong desire to win, his preparation was (woefully) inadequate."
A friend of mine told me earlier that Li Yongbo diligently watched at the stadium from the "observation corner" for the officials & players (located above the umpire corner), spent his many hours there watching in silence throughout the match days.
In my opinion,Lin Dan is bit low on confidence at the moment.However,i am fully confident that with a little tweak to tactical gameplan and improvement in physical condition,LD will be back to where he belongs.I also think Lin Dan underestimated JOJ thinking that his racket skills will do enough to get the better of Dane and that's where the real damage was done.Let's hope Lin Dan can bounce back and do well in both Japan and Korea Open.
http://www.weibo.com/p/1001603878568160801544 From BWF official microblog It seems like LD's response to LYB's recent criticism, [MENTION=86374]Justin L[/MENTION] , could you spare some time to translate it for us, I'm not so good at translating
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7x7U6OFnU wow LD drives a Porsche and Range Rover ^^ LD didn't work as hard on and off court as before. With all the titles, wealth, popularity, family, beautiful wife and kid, loving parents (he's got everything a man desired) one'll get distracted with self content and it's only up to him if he wants to three-peat at Rio 2016. His biggest enemy is no other than himself as I've no doubt he could it's just if he would push himself as hard.
OK, I'll try but hope any experts here can help me improve it or correct any errors/inaccuracies found as my translation tends to be somewhat too literal http://www.weibo.com/p/1001603878568160801544 Super Dan, JiaYou ! "Super Dan" Lin Dan, to shake off the Jakarta World Championships disappointment, at the Double Seven Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) remains focused on training, hoping to regain his best form as quickly as possible. Lin Dan at the just concluded World Championships was stopped at the Men's Singles quarterfinals, the Chinese Head Coach Li Yongbo pointed out he lost for lack of any desire to win. Yesterday on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the evening , while attending a commercial activity, Lin Dan revealed that after the world champs he came across an article titled " A kind of spirit called Lee Chong Wei", and was inspired by it. Lin Dan said:" Lee CW entered the finals several times but regrettably failed to win it, it makes me feel there's really no need to care too much about the results." "Lee Chong Wei is able to carry on striving, all the more I should endure, after all I've won so many championships, there is no reason to think my whole situation is all that bad." As a married athlete, Lin Dan apart from training has to take care of family, at the same also has to take part in commercial activities, how does he allocate his time ? He said:" For this year, qualifying for the Olympic Games is certainly the most important goal. After the 2012 London Olympics, I have already persisted for three years, now there's only one more year to the next edition, I am gradually approaching my target." " Previously there are very few Chinese men's singles able to participate in four consecutive Olympic Games, I don't want to give up such a possibility, hope to do my utmost to achieve it."
The racquet freaks here on BC should all now say Lining N90 are the best racquets, while ZFII are bull..., since LD lost everything after switching...
You mean like back in 2009/10 when everyone was like "that N90 is crap, he isnt as good as with the AT700"?
A funny Lin Dan training video when he was in India this year.Feel for the girl in the middle though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM3Y6AY2iXg
Who are the 5 players? I recognize Lin Dan top left, Zhao Yunlei top right. Bottom right is Zhang Nan I think. Center looks like Wang Shixian.
