Goh Liu Ying realises there is huge room for improvement to earn glory in major events
Malaysia’s Mixed Doubles top shuttler Goh Liu Ying, who with her partner Chan Peng Soon experienced a worst outing at London Olympics, realises that there is a huge room for improvement to challenge the top pairs of the world.
Liu Ying and Peng Soon, who are placed at number eight in Mixed Doubles world ranking, went to London as major title contenders but their hopes were dashed as soon as they stepped into the arena as they failed to handle the pressure of mega event and could not even win a single match.
However, Liu Ying believes that the couple can beat the world but there are many aspects that need to be improved. She appreciated the coordination of all top couples in the mega event and wants to emulate them.
She stated, “They didn’t leave open spaces for us to exploit. We have a lot of room for improvement and believe in our partnership. We can definitely be a top pair if we work on our game, improve on our consistency and learn to trust each other more.”
Many things went wrong in their game and the foremost important aspect was that they lacked coordination which is required to perform well in a major event.
Liu Ying and Peng Soon could not play their normal game as they completely failed to stick around their game plan and were crashed out without proving their worth.
The 23-year-old Liu Ying said that their opponents were not new and that they have defeated all of them in previous meetings. But at Olympics, they could not handle the pressure well and also failed to push any of their rivals on back foot.
Liu Ying wants more trust and understanding which was lacking between herself and Peng Soon at Olympics.
She stated, “The other pairs had good understanding. They were very attuned to one another in terms of positioning and covered well for each other. The Olympic experience will certainly help make us better.”
The spirited Liu Ying is determined to live up to expectations with her partner in the upcoming tournaments as now both of them will work on their weaknesses to prepare well and challenge the world.
