The 40-year-old Lee Chong Wei recently announced that he hopes to return to the badminton world as a coach. It happened that the spokesperson of the Singapore Badminton Association recently said that the candidate for the singles head coach will be announced in the short term, which caused speculation that Lee Chong Wei will go to the new coach, but he himself denied going abroad to be a coach.
When Li Zongwei accepted the confirmation of “Sin Chew Sports”, the first sentence said “it's definitely not me”, breaking all the rumors in one fell swoop.
Lee Chong Wei also said: “I believe everyone has seen the news. There are indeed invitations from various countries to let me be a local coach, but I have no such plan for the time being, nor do I plan to leave my favorite country, Malaysia. I will continue to promote it. I love badminton the most, and at the same time, I give time to my family and friends to make up for the time I missed in those years of fighting and fighting on the court.”
It is not easy for Lee Chong Wei be coach
Lee Chong Wei emphasized that although badminton is in his blood, he will still watch more badminton games and continue to support Malaysian players, but he temporarily said that he is not ready to be a coach and has no idea of living abroad: “I don't want to be a coach for the time being. The coach doesn't want to go abroad either, I will stay in Malaysia.
Chong Wei further said that it is not so easy to start a coaching career, although he is indeed good at analyzing games and tactics as the famous badminton coach in Malaysia said, after all, he has so many years of experience on the court, which is his strength, but everything It's not that easy to start over.
Will you go back to coaching in Malaysia?
On the other hand, the Malaysian Badminton Association also stated a few days ago that the door of the Badminton Association will always be open to Lee Chong Wei. I believe this is also the hope of our badminton fans.
Lee Chong Wei responded: The responsibility of the national coach does not require me to do anything more for the time being. “However, out of concern for Guo Yu, I still often contact Ye Chengwang and Zheng Ruimu to learn about the training of the juniors.”
He also added that if he really becomes a coach in the future, he won't mind coaching players of any level, even the young players of the National Youth Team, because the most important thing is that the coach and the players can cooperate.
