Lee Chong Wei can take advice from Misbun Sidek, says national coach Tey Seu Bock
Malaysia’s Singles national coach, Tey Seu Bock, who is the official coach of the World Number One, Lee Chong Wei, said that he has no objection if the player wants to take advice from the former national coach, Misbun Sidek.
However, he further added that it is the matter of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM). With the permission of the official badminton body, Chong Wei can take assistance from Misbun, who has been the official coach of Chong Wei until February, 2011.
The 29-year-old Chong Wei wants to seek advice from Misbun to get back on the winning track as it is the right time to maintain his superiority in the game. He has been working hard for several years to become an Olympic Champion and now the championship
is just seven months away.
Seu Bock said that Chong Wei is the only player from Malaysia who can bring the first ever gold medal for Malaysia at the 2012 Olympic Games and he should be given full freedom to take advice from the former coach as it will help him in his preparation for
the mega event.
Seu Bock said, "I am not particular about working with anybody including Misbun, as I have also cooperated with him before. But at the moment, Rashid and Hendrawan are assisting me in game analyses, tactical and so on. For me I have no problem, it is up
to BAM."
However, Seu Bock also said that he personally did not hear anything from Chong Wei as it comes into his knowledge through media.
He also expressed the upcoming plans of Chong Wei before London Olympics.
He said, "However, at the moment the training has not been stepped up as Chong Wei was busy with several meets since the Malaysia Open."
Chong Wei lost his final contest against China’s Lin Dan at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Now it will be his last chance to prove his worth and win Men’s Singles title at the mega event, which is set to take place at the Wembley Indoor Arena, in London, England,
from July 28 to August 5.
