Badminton: Rexy wants players to open up and talk about problems
By RAJES PAUL
PETALING JAYA: National doubles coach Rexy Mainaky wants his players to speak up if there are problems affecting their performances.
He was referring to Ong Soon Hock, who allowed emotions to rule his game at the Thailand Open. And his partnership with Tan Bin Shen suffered a first-round defeat by unknown Indonesians Bona Septano-Ahsan Mohamad.
Rexy said that he hoped that the Malaysian players would be brave enough to talk about their problems.
“Usually, players wait for coaches to find out what is affecting their performances,” he said.
“Pang (Cheh Chang, the assistant coach who was in Bangkok with the players) said that Soon Hock did not control his emotions during the game. When asked what went wrong, the answer was 'I do not know’. I prefer the players to take the first step and tell us (the coaches) their difficulties or troubles.”
What’s your problem?: Ong Soon Hock (left), seen here with his partner Tan Bin Shen, has been told to talk to officials if he has any problems.
The problem of players holding back information is nothing new to Rexy.
Prior to the Sudirman Cup in Glasgow in June, Tan Boon Heong was down with viral fever but said that he was all ready for the tournament after taking a one-week break.
Later, Rexy discovered that he had not recovered fully following poor performances in the ties against China and England in the world mixed team championships.
“I have been here for two years and I realise that Malaysian players are afraid to be honest. Hopefully, there will be positive changes,” he said.
Rexy was disappointed over the performances of all his charges expect for Gan Teik Chai-Lin Woon Fui in the Thailand Open, which ended yesterday. Teik Chai-Woon Fui reached the semi-finals.
He hoped that Malaysia would be able to make a quick rebound in the China Masters, which begin tomorrow at Chengdu.
Four national pairs – Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Soon Hock-Bin Shen and Chan Chong Ming-Hoon Thien How – will see action in Chengdu.
Teik Chai-Woon Fui, who are ranked 93rd in the world, and national number one and world number two Koo Kien Keat-Boon Heong will compete in the Philippines Open next week.
“I want the players, especially those gearing up for the World Championships, to bounce back with a better showing in China,” said Rexy.
Third seeds Tan Fook-Wan Wah, Fairuzizuan-Zakry and Chong Ming-Hoon Thien are in the same half of the draw as Indonesians Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan, who are the second seeds, Alven Yulianto-Luluk Hadiyanto and Joko Riyadi-Hendra Gunawan.
Soon Hock-Bin Shen are in the other half of the draw with China’s top seeds Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng and World Championships runners-up Anthony Clark-Robert Blair of England.
In the Thailand Open yesterday, South Korean Hwang Ji-man-Lee Jae-jin, who defeated Teik Chai-Woon Fui in the semi-finals, beat team-mates Jung Jae-sung-Lee Yong-dae 21-19, 19-21, 21-9 to take the title. |
