00:00 The 2024 World Championship Tournament is a new season.
00:05 The first tournament of the year was held in Kuala Lumpur.
00:10 This tournament is the second-level tournament.
00:15 But this is a very important tournament.
00:17 As the host of the tournament, the opening of the tournament was not smooth.
00:20 The whole team of the Malaysian team was eliminated.
00:22 Many players were eliminated in the first round or were only in the top 16.
00:29 No players were in the top 4.
00:32 The hope of breaking the six-year champion's panic is now gone.
00:37 Let me give you a recap.
00:38 The last time the Malaysian team won the championship was in 2018.
00:44 If you remember,
00:45 Li Zongwei, who was a former U.S. player,
00:48 defeated Toshihisa Tate in the men's singles final.
00:51 He won the 12th Malaysian Open Men's Singles Champion.
00:56 But as the first World Championship Tournament in the new season,
01:01 the Malaysian team lost in the main event.
01:05 The best result of the Malaysian team was the two men's doubles.
01:08 They were Xie Su, Xie Dingfeng and Su Huiyi.
01:10 And Wang Yaoxin and Zhang Yuyu.
01:14 Although they advanced to the top 8,
01:16 they were not as good as their opponents.
01:19 When Li Zongwei, who was a national team coach,
01:24 was interviewed by the Daily News,
01:27 he said the Malaysian team did not perform well in the Open.
01:31 The reason was obvious.
01:33 They were not well-prepared.
01:35 Li Zongwei said he saw some players
01:38 going on holiday during Christmas
01:41 instead of focusing on the preparation.
01:45 Li Zongwei explained that
01:46 it was not that the players could not go on holiday.
01:48 But the time was important.
01:51 The time was important.
01:52 The Open was only two weeks away.
01:57 As a former national team coach,
01:58 Li Zongwei knew that
02:00 they could not train hard after the holiday.
02:04 Li Zongwei also mentioned that
02:05 players from other countries,
02:07 such as China, South Korea and Japan,
02:10 did not rest during Christmas and New Year.
02:15 They were focused on training.
02:19 So he saw that the players from these countries
02:21 also performed well in the Open.
02:25 But Li Zongwei said that,
02:26 on the contrary,
02:28 the players who came back from the holiday
02:29 performed badly.
02:31 Li Zongwei said that
02:32 when he was a player,
02:35 he went back to train
02:36 even during the Lunar New Year holiday.
02:39 He emphasized that he did not say how good he was.
02:41 He just knew that if he wanted to succeed,
02:44 he had to sacrifice something.
02:46 Because there was no shortcut to success.
02:49 In addition to criticizing the players for not preparing well for the competition,
02:53 and not fully preparing for the holiday,
02:54 Li Zongwei also questioned that
02:55 the players had not realized their responsibilities.
02:58 Because they only stayed in their comfort zone.
03:01 According to the New Haixiang Times,
03:03 the Golden Road Committee had prepared to take strict action.
03:07 And they will meet with the head coach of the Dalmatian Yu team
03:11 to try to solve this problem.
03:14 Li Zongwei said that
03:15 no matter what,
03:15 he and the relevant units will help the players.
03:18 After all, this year is a crucial Olympic year.
03:21 And there is not much time left before the Olympics.
03:24 He hopes that the players will realize this importance
03:27 and cheer up.
