After Lin Dan and Li Zongwei were inducted into the Hall of Fame, Lin Dan fans publicly ridiculed Li Zongwei, saying that Li Zongwei was at an absolute disadvantage no matter from the results of the competition or the record of the fight, the world champion Lin Dan led 7:0, and the battle record Lin Dan led 28:12, that is, Lin Dan fans looked down on Li Zongwei, so why did foreign media call Li Zongwei and Lin Dan the Lin Li era, and they were both inducted into the Badminton Hall of Fame together.
Obviously, the main reason for this situation is that the standards are different, because our country is a developing country, sports is a national system, and the results obtained by athletes also belong to the national team, and of course athletes will also compete according to the requirements of the national team. Li Zongwei's professional route is usually to get bonuses by playing more games, which makes Li Zongwei's every game very real, on the contrary, Lin Dan system athletes, many competitions can't be their own decisions, for example, Lin Dan personally said that he made way for Xia Xuanze when he participated in the World Championships for the first time, and finally Xia Xuanze also won the World Championships.
The purpose of the system is very clear that athletes help the national team win the championship according to the coach's arrangement, which means that the athletes themselves cannot completely call the shots, and sometimes they also make sacrifices to help their teammates win the final championship, such as the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games women's singles semifinals have handicaps, and teammates finally win the championship. Lin Dan also withdrew many times before the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, allowing Chen Jin to participate in the Olympic Games, and Chen Jin's purpose in participating in the Olympic Games was also very clear was to help Lin Dan win the final championship, and Lin Dan finally won the championship.
Lee Chong Wei is a professional athlete, he usually relies on his own play to support himself, and he may also have teammates to help him cover, after all, his teammates are also professional athletes, which means that all the championships won by Lee Chong Wei are real and there is no controversy.
Athletes in the national system pay more attention to the championship of major competitions, they do not need to earn bonuses by playing open tournaments to support themselves, as long as they listen to the coach's arrangement to win the championship, of course, the coach will also arrange a high level to win the championship at the end, Li Yongbo once publicly said that he will arrange the most suitable athletes to win the championship, it is obvious that in Li Yongbo's heart, Lin Dan is the most suitable athlete.
Because the purpose of Li Zongwei and Lin Dan's competition is not the same, this also makes Li Zongwei better than Lin Dan in other data except that the number of world champions is not as good as Lin Dan, such as the number of weeks in the world rankings, the number of open championships, and the total number of prize money all surpass Lin Dan, including personal honors Li Zongwei also surpasses Lin Dan.
The reason why Messi is called the king of the ball by many media is because Messi not only has the World Cup title, but also surpasses Ronaldo in other important statistics, such as Messi has 8 golden balls, and Ronaldo only has 5 golden goals. If Messi only has World Cup personal honors and is not as good as Ronaldo, then how many media will think that Messi is the king of the ball.
summary
If you use the domestic standard, Lin Dan's historical status must be higher than Li Zongwei, the problem is that we participate in international competitions, can not use domestic standards, the international standard is not to look at the number of major championships, but to value personal honors, such as the number of weeks ranked first in the world and the awards won by individuals, it is obvious that according to international standards, Lin Dan's historical status is definitely inferior to Li Zongwei, after all, Li Zongwei is not as good as Lin Dan in addition to the number of world championships and personal records, and all other badminton data Li Zongwei is stronger than Lin Dan. Of course, if Lin Dan is a Malaysian athlete and Li Zongwei is a Chinese athlete, then Lin Dan may not be able to be an athlete if he doesn't want to win the world championship, after all, Lin Dan has a very big temper and beats his coach at every turn, and if Lin Dan plays his coach in Malaysia, he will definitely be banned.
