00:00In that regard, the director of the Malaysian Badminton Academy coach, Reksy Mainakiyaki,
00:04said that the Uber Negara team needs to be improved immediately, especially in the singles sector.
00:09Based on the records obtained, Reksy is clearly disappointed with the players who have no desire in the business.
00:17Okay, if we look at it, what I repeated earlier,
00:22we hope that the players in our Uber Cup, who are mostly first-time,
00:27and they have more players who are still at the level that we have sent them to the IC tournament,
00:34the biggest is 100, luckily they can play at 300.
00:39So we hope that they don't think that they are facing players,
00:46especially from Thailand, Thai players, we can say that they are in the top 15.
00:53There are even players who are in the top 5, top 10.
00:58And I have a lot of experience playing in the Uber Cup.
01:03We hope that they have a way of thinking to enter the court,
01:08nothing to lose, this is my opportunity to play against the top 10 in the world, right?
01:15But our expectations were there when we played against Taipei,
01:21but it was very opposite when we played against Thailand, the respect was too big.
01:26When we played against Taipei, it was very positive,
01:32they threw out what they had in training.
01:36But when we played against Thailand, we can see that they have respect.
01:40Actually, if we look at their level, maybe we can't say that they are at level 3,
01:48but because their way of thinking and respect is too much.
01:53Reksy has become the world's number one player, Carolina Marin,
01:57as the best player for young women in the country,
02:00although she suffered several injuries, knees and sprains,
02:04but now she is back looking for the pinnacle of success.
02:12I said, Yogen, in training, this player always has to be there,
02:17and when she is forced, she has to think,
02:19so in training, she has to use her brain,
02:22at the same time, she has to force the ball that she finds difficult.
02:28Yogen replied to me, Coach, this is our player, we give her training,
02:32after 1-2 days, she immediately said, oh, I have this pain, this pain,
02:35and then she was excused with an injury.
02:37I said, that is the problem.
02:41I said, you just ask Taisho Ying, you ask Rachano, you ask Carolina Marin,
02:45Carolina Marin was injured badly in the Indonesia Open,
02:48now she is back, she won 2 back-to-back tournaments in Switzerland and England.
02:56I said to Yogen, do you think she is the top player,
02:59the number one in the world, Chen Yufei,
03:01or do you think they have never been injured in training?
03:04In training, they may be injured, but they are forced to fight.
03:08That's where the mental is formed.
03:10We can't mentally form with people,
03:12we can't say, oh, you have to do this, you have to do that.
03:14People don't feel where you are.
03:16Now we say anything, but when the athlete is difficult to take the ball,
03:19in training, it hurts a little, you have to force it.
03:24How do we say, oh, you can go,
03:29so we have to make the player feel,
03:32oh, this hurts, oh, it hurts like this, but I can do this.
03:38There must be a player who is the number one in the world.
03:43The last time the national women's team reached the top 8 was in 2010.
03:48The final score showed that the home team was ahead of the net,
03:50winning 3-0 against Denmark.
03:52India, which was in the lead in the first round,
03:54had to face Japan first.
03:56Indonesia, on the other hand, had to beat Thailand
03:58to end the winning streak since 1996.
04:01And the South Korean team will face Chinese Taipei on May 3rd.
04:07We'll be right back.
