Well, everyone has a role to play (that's why they got paid handsomely) to form a formidable team. I doubt Msia players failed in AE was due to the teamwork, nor the coaches. The uncles LWW/CTF confessed that they had failed to finish it off when it matters most. So, dont blame that no support from your teamates, nor coaches. To me, that's non-sense. I'm 100% sure that Misbun + team are 100% behind our Mr.Yoyo but where does he stands now? first or second round casualties
I think thats too simple minded. How can you be sure that Misbun + team are 100% behind our Mr.Yoyo ? Its not the AE performance that we evaluate but the whole support system of the team in long term performance. Of course CTF and LWW's lost in AE cannot be due to the lack of support from the teamates, nor coaches but M'sian players are mostly individual and lonely warrior who fight in the battle alone.
Players often face 2 types of pressure; pressure from within themselves and pressure from the coaches,association,public/country. The problem is, most of the top players in M'sia are really extraordinary because they go into the court and fight alone,... carrying all the internal and external pressures. When they lose, they have to take the blame, criticism and being labeled as "Mr.Yoyo". When they win, suddenly everyone want to share their glory but where are these people when they lost? Not to mention , their team mates may not be the first but the last to share their victory due to the competitiveness environment.
What i'm trying to explain is that M'sian players like KKK and TBH who admitted that they have difficulties in overcome their pressure can greatly reduce their external pressure (which is the main excess baggage that they've been carrying since they started to win tournaments) if there is a group of supportive team mates, coaches, officials and organizational who share the pressures together with them. Hence, when players go inside the court, there is an assurance that no matter win or lose, they are still worthy for the people and these people will always be there for them through thick and thin.
The environment is like this; when a player wins, he or she received lots of praises, fame and rewards but because of this, others are envious and the attention they gained created extra pressure. When they lose, people start to criticize them saying they are too pampared, spoilt with fame and rewards, and their team mates are clapping and celebrating.... + coaches are giving them cold shoulder. Each time the players go for a tournament, these are the things that created the unconscious pressure and the fear of losing. This is the problem within the whole system (culture) of the organization and it effected everyone. Compare it with the Japanese or Korean, the support system( cooperation) is strong that coaches like Park Joo Bong, Li Mao love and enjoy working with the team and they are improving, producing results. Ask PJB and LM of their experience in working with the M'sian team and you will understand what i mean. Coaches like Rexy often felt frustrated with his player's inconsistent performance but in reality , Rexy have to understand that being a coach, he can only guide them and give them the best training prgram but to win every tournaments is something beyond his control.
Correct me if i'm wrong, base on the current drawing system by the BWF, top players can clash out in early rounds and i think it is unfair to call them first round or second round casualties. If that is the case, LH/HS,CY/FHF, ZN, XXF, ZL can also join the yoyo club and labeled as "first round or second round casualties".... ?
