THOMAS CUP 2010

Ah, yesterday's match was indeed exciting. The first 2 sets and the last of course. Third and Fourth set was dead boring mainly because we were going down and it seem that Malaysian players underestimated Japan..


Chong wei vs Kenichi Tago

Like it cause Chong wei fought well and it was an exciting match. Even the Japan coach admitted it :D And so is our first doubles play, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. They were well-prepared and did a great job. All hopes for Malaysia rised

Sadly, not likely to say the same for the next singles by Wong Choong Hann, who tried his best despite having a 2-yrs lapse but lose because he was hesitant and uncomfortable.Next doubles played by Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif cause an uproar to Malaysia as their defeat was humiliating and they let emotions over take their cool causing vulgarity to be displayed. In the final singles, Mohd Hafiz Hashim failed to clinch the winning point as he made mistakes after mistake due to pressure... Ah, what a waste!

But i won't be like any other who would at this time criticize malaysia for their over-confident attitude but to still hope for the best in Malaysia-Denmark match this evening. Its the final chance for Malaysian players to redeem ourselves >.<

I particularly liked what Chong Wei said at the press conference tho:

Team captain Lee Chong Wei hoped that Malaysians would turn up to support them.

”This is the time that we need the fans to stand beside us in good and bad times,” said Chong Wei.

”I am disappointed with what some of the fans did to Zakry and Fairuzizuan. Yes, maybe, it was not their good day but booing and criticising us openly is not the way to do it,” said Chong Wei.

”As a team captain, I feel for my team-mates. No one in my team is playing to lose. They are here to give their best. It is part of the game to win or lose but I hope the fans will be more supportive,” he said.

On their chances against Denmark, Chong Wei said: “This is a make or break time for us. We will do our best to get the better of them. Our challenge is not over and we will give our best.”
