At the 2024 Malaysia Open Badminton Championships, after 2 days of competition, all the matches in the first round were ended, and the national badminton performed well, and many of the matches were turned against the wind. But today we are not going to talk about the national players, but the Malaysian players who are playing at home.
Malaysian players seem to have a common problem, that is, their mentality is very easy to collapse. From Li Zongwei's Olympic triple runner-up and Shuangwei's loss of gold in the Rio Olympics, in the end, the mentality has an impact. Li Zijia, who had high hopes this time, was out of the first round. Also out of the game are Chen Jianming, Lai Peijun, Wan Weicong, Zheng Kaiwen, etc. Malaysia head coach Raisi said before the game: I hope there will be Malaysian players to break the championship drought. It seems that this sentence will be repeated again in 2025.
Malaysian players are not good at playing against the wind. For example, if you have a strength of 100 points, you can win with a strength of 80 points, but it is difficult to say if you also score 100 points, and the probability of losing is very high. If you score 120 points, don't get your hopes up. When they are optimistic, they generally capsize; When they are not optimistic, they will surely capsize... This is recommended to learn from the Korean team, which is good at playing chicken blood, especially in big tournaments. I don't know if it's good to mobilize before the game, or if it's easy to play at a super level. The strength of 50 points can sometimes turn over 100 points.
It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire, but Malaysian players are afraid of fire.
