In an exclusive interview with Phoenix.com, Li Zongwei recalled his "Lin Li War" with Lin Dan, and he believed that he was under more pressure than Lin Dan.
Lee Chong Wei said that the main reason for his loss to him was the difference in strength and the excessive psychological burden, especially the extreme desire for the championship that led to the inability to completely release the critical moment.
Lee Chong Wei also mentioned that the roar after defeating Lin Dan at the 2016 Olympics was released because the pressure had been pressed for too many years.
He had a 20-16 lead in the match, but was chased to a draw by Lin Dan, and at that moment his thoughts were almost blank, just telling himself in his heart to persevere.
He knew that if he lost this battle again, it would be an irreversible fate.
In Li Zongwei's view, Lin Dan's psychological pressure is relatively small, because the Chinese team is full of talents, even if Lin Dan misses, there are still Chen Long, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin and others continue to compete for the championship.
As Malaysia's lone seedling, Lee Chong Wei's defeat means that no one in the country advances to the next round, and this lonely situation undoubtedly exacerbates his physical exertion.
In his long career, Li Zongwei has always recalled the duel with Lin Dan, and his heart is full of emotion.
He always believes that the pressure he is carrying is much greater than that of Lin Dan.
For Lee Chong Wei, every encounter with Lin Dan is a thrilling contest.
He knows that Lin Dan is a formidable opponent and a legend in the badminton world.
On the field, they inspired each other and created many classic competitions together, but Lee Chong Wei was under tremendous pressure.
As the flagship figure of Malaysia's badminton, Lee Chong Wei shoulders the expectations of the whole country. Every time he represents his country, he is well aware of his great responsibility. His desire to win honor for his country has increased his pressure day by day.
In contrast, although Lin Dan is also the pride of China, the Chinese team is full of talent, and even if Lin Dan loses, there are other outstanding players who can continue to fight for the glory of the country.
This made Lee Chong Wei feel like he was in a tougher position in terms of pressure.
In the game, Lee Chong Wei always did his best and did not dare to slack off.
He knows that every duel with Lin Dan is a challenge, and the pressure is always there.
This pressure comes not only from the expectations of the outside world, but also from his inner desire for victory and strict requirements for himself.
He's been trying to overcome the pressure and keep improving himself, but it's always been a burden for him in his career.
On the stage of competitive sports, even if Lee Chong Wei wins key matches, he still faces a double test of physical fitness and mentality.
Behind every victory, there is a huge effort.
In the heat of the game, Lee Chong Wei needs to run, jump, and hit the ball with all his might, which is a great drain on his physical strength.
By the time he finally won the crucial match, he was physically exhausted, but the fight wasn't over.
In terms of mentality, while winning brings joy and confidence, it also brings new pressures and challenges. He'll be worried about whether he'll be able to keep up that form and whether he'll be able to continue to perform well in the next races. Moreover, each victory makes opponents pay more attention to him and study his tactics, which also puts him under more pressure in subsequent matches.
After winning a key match, the attention and expectations of the outside world will be higher, which will also put a certain burden on his psychology.
He'll need to adjust his mentality in this situation, stay calm and focused in order to deal with the various situations that may arise in the next games.
Even after winning the crucial match, Lee Chong Wei faces a tough physical and mental test, which he needs to overcome and deal with constantly.
Lee Chong Wei, a legendary athlete who has fought countless opponents in the ring, chose to become a coach after retiring.
With a wealth of experience and a love for badminton, he dedicates himself to developing the next generation of athletes.
He passed on his fighting spirit on the field to the young players, inspiring them to move forward and pursue higher goals.
He understands that although his sporting career is over, the spirit of badminton will live on through these young lives.
Although he missed gold medals many times at the Olympics, Lee Chong Wei always had a wish in his heart, and that was to hope that his old rival Lin Dan could win the Olympic gold medal.
He knew that Lin Dan also had the same dreams and pursuits, and he hoped that Lin Dan could make up for his regrets and achieve the glory he dreamed of.
This kind of blessing and expectation for his opponent shows his broad mind and sincere feelings for badminton.
Lee Chong Wei continues to contribute to the cause of badminton in his own way, and his story will always be remembered in people's hearts.
