To verify all these, Lin Dan specially talked to Kuan Beng Hong, a Chinese in Malaysia team, asked him two questions, first, what exactly Taufik said, because Lin Dan himself doesn't understand English, second, whether it was true that so many players dislike him. Kuan told Lin that Taufik complained Lin never talk to him. Why did he ask Kuan of all people??? Are they best buds or something??? I think Malaysians are something like the 'translators' in the badminton world. They can speak Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia is quite close to Bahasa Indonesia so there should be no problems since the basics are the same, and they can speak English, maybe that's why most of the players go to them.
hey emmsfan! nice thing you've got there! that's is why they come to malaysian players. at least i think so too. HAHA.. well, emmsfan has A WAY to know that.. LOL...which he/she will tell if he/she is willing to. haha...I know why.
It's a lot of 'handbags at 10 paces ' if you ask me. No, LD and TH are not best of friends, they are serious athletes and professional rivals. In context of which, what Taufik said is alright: he said this is how LD is percieved. At a guess, there are probably mind games here but hey, they are both big boys anbd if it adds a bit of spice to the fixture then good! Some of your rivals you are going to feel close to, like LCW/ TH and some you will motivate yourself by hating your opponent a little in the match. But it's only what happens on the court. If they can come off it and have a beer afterwards or whatever then no harm done. On the other hand Lin is arrogant and cocky and probably rubs Taufik up the wrong way. We all know people like that... But if it's a scenario like a guy at work who you are in competition for promotion with, it is probable that things will boil over from ti me to time. Taufik is a complicated person, at a guess, he puts enormous amounts of pressure on himself for this tournament. He makes it a matter of personal honour to win the thing as he said he would - if he falls short he loses face. I don't think this is such a good thing - tying your sense of self worth to winning something, but with work, everyone does this to a certain extent. As I said, to these guys it's serious business. I play socially, it is not the end of the worl;d if I lose (though I probably do sulk for a couple of days if it's a match I really set my heart on winning!) But it's not my job, and if it was, I would probably feel the same about a cocky bigmouth like Lin Dan.
LD is arrogant!!he thought he is the best in badminton arena!!so i think his lost in Doha wil teach him a lesson!!

Yeah! All top ten players played 9 Ind. and 1 Team tourny Now China has 5 players in the top then Jia You!
well, obviously a LD fan.. but i don't see #'s 2-11 better than the #12.. except for CH maybe, who has won 2 consecutive times recently...
ur wrong. I'm a fan of any good players and seeker of truth. of course u die-hard TH fans can't see the facts, blinded by delirious exuberance state of estasy of TH's recent win.
cooler to bic33, cooler to bic33, please come back down to earth, don't walk into the white light yet. I repeat, please come back down to earth. Do you copy, over?
all you can say is that ur every great players' fan... but we forumers obviously know by your posts that your a BIG BIG LD fan, and (most probably) a TH hater... so please, shut up because when LD wins.. you always brag about it.. remember "why taufik lost?" thread? peace! btw, i don't really care if either LD or TH wins.. I just want two of my favorite players to play a very good game and level their head-to-heads... so cooler, come back here to earth...haha
cooler and bic33 both, should come back down to earth.. HAHA... I guess cooler is not the only person who brags a lot when his or her favourite player wins. As long as he/she doesnt insult the opponent too much, i guess it's fine.. hehe..
um... it's really fine with me.. but he hit me first... lol enough of this.. i just hate it when ranking points are used to determine who's the better... *i don't hate you cooler* peace! btw, why did you react when i said u'r a LD fan? you said i'm wrong because you're any good players' fan... I'M A LD, TH, LCW, CH & PG fan!!! they're the world's top 5 for me (in no order)...
so are you guys back on earth now?!? just joking Yes! Rankings DOESN'T ALWAYS determine who's better lol haha
Absolutely right. I have a terrible ranking, but just recently, why, I was kicking butt at the Asian Games.... I wish.
