Last week, the 2021 Badminton World Championships came to an end in Huelva, Spain, with the final 5 individual titles won by players from 5 countries and regions. One of the most important men's singles champions was won by Singapore's 24-year-old Luo Jianyou, who knocked out the world's first and Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Denmark's Acesaron in the first round of competition, and then went all the way to win the championship and create the biggest upset at the World Championships. After the game, the topic around Luo Jianyou has always been the focus of heated discussion in his home country of Malaysia, because Luo Jianyou is a native Malaysian, who did not leave Singapore until the age of 13, and finally represented Singapore in international competitions. Today, Luo Jianyou has won the world championship and become the first person in Singapore.
In the face of such honors and achievements, Luo Jianyou's former identity has made many fans and netizens discuss and discuss, and even many Malaysian media have participated in recent events, quite a bit of hot forms to report Luo Jianyou's victory. Of course, when the Malaysian media and netizens reported, they did not forget to mention Luo Jianyou's former Malaysian identity, but now the world champion has nothing to do with Malaysia. It should be known that Malaysian badminton has not won the world championship honor for nearly 30 years, even in the peak glory of the leader Li Zongwei, it has not won even one world championship. Unexpectedly, now a "castaway" of Malaysian badminton has achieved a breakthrough of world championship for other countries, how can it not cause controversy!
As a former famous player in The Malaysian badminton men's singles, the 49-year-old Wang Youfu stressed in an interview with the media a few days ago that Malaysia has always been like this, and it is not until people have won the championship to recognize relatives. "What I want to emphasize is, why didn't you cherish The existence of Luo Jianyou before? Remember that he is malaysia's national under-12 men's singles champion. Wang Youfu pointed out to the Malaysian Yu Zongpan relationship, "The relevant authorities need to review, if Luo Jianyou did not move to Singapore, is it possible for us to train him to become a world champion in the same way?" ”
Wang Youfu mentioned another question about whether Luo Jianyou could also become a world champion if he stayed in Malaysia. "I personally think it is impossible, not a problem of others, but our own management problems." We are not without good players, but after so many years, we have not even trained a world champion. Singapore, on the other hand, is just a talent that can train world champions. "The brain drain in Malaysia is very serious, especially for players who have lost Singapore. I dare say that the badminton players of the Singapore team, not only Luo Jianyou is born in Malaysia, but there are at least a dozen Singaporean players, all from Malaysia. In the view of this famous resident, the problems of Malaysian badminton in these years have emerged because the competent authorities are laymen managing insiders, and there is no fundamental solution.
