If you really like to play badminton,

I will bring you to Teh Peng Huat

If you want to play, you better play properly

Do you understand?

One two one two

Lee Chong Wei, do it properly

One two

The basic of playing badminton consist of technique and footwork

Technique consist of holding the racket on the left side

Holding the racket on the right side

Holding the racket on the half side

Holding the racket on the net side

Holding the racket on the tall side

*Explaining technique*

The position need to be good to reduce the scope

If you are not in a good position, the scope will widen

*Asking students to listen to his command*

Trials for the Badminton National Team

Uncle, drink water

Chong Wei and Ah Chai will come back soon

Aunty

I am not here to find Chong Wei

Is it because of the training fees?

Sorry, I will pay you next week, is that okay?

No no, please take a seat

I come here to not talk to you about the training fees

but I would like to discuss with you about Chong Wei

What are you doing?

Mum, I am very nervous

I don't know when can I go to Kuala Lumpur

They told me

the national team did not choose you

Why is that so?

They said

they will choose you when you get taller

I know

I am

a short person

It's mum's fault

Mum did not let you eat anything good

Someone told me

you will get taller if you drink potato soup

Mum will cook for you everyday, is that okay?

You can still participate next year

Chong Wei, be a good boy

Mum yes?

There is potato soup behind, go and drink it

Ok

Mum, I finished drinking, did I get taller?

Yes

Ok Go fighting!

Cramp

Can you still play?

Do you feel better? How?

Are you sure you can?

Ok

Ok go

He is Lee Chong Wei from Bukit Mertajam

He beat one of our best player today

Although he didn't win,

he never gave up

he has some rock talent and potential

and I think he should be on the national team

I know him, he is famous in Bukit Mertajam

but he look like a monkey from the circus

I think his badminton technique is kind of mess

and he has never been trained properly

That's exactly why we should take him

Isn't it our job to train

and make him a better player and bring out the best of him

Why don't we vote?

Raise up your hand if you choose Lee Chong Wei

8 against 7

I want him

Alright

It's a draw. I agree to take him

Dad, eat

Why do you want to say so loud?

Are you scare people won't know you are going to Singapore?

Don't know are there any bad guys in Singapore

Don't simply say

Lee Chong Wei

My sister has something to say to you

I have heard of what happened in All England

I am okay, you do not need to worry

Chong Wei

I have something to say to you

What thing?

We

should separate, is that fine?

Why? Aren't we alright for our relationship?

I know that I should not tell you this thing now

but

my dad does not allow us to be together

I know

I am not good enough

No, it's not like this

Chong Wei you listen to me

My dad wants me to concentrate on playing badminton

He hopes that I can enter the East Games

If I can't do that,

he will not let me stay in the national team

You should go

Chong Wei

We have to work hard together to get a good result

I believe he will not object anymore

Ok?

Mew Choo

We should leave now

I will wait for you

What's going on?

Mr How, Mr How have an accident

Wait for us Chong Wei

Chong Wei faster

Mr How

This is not our fault, it's Mr How's idea

Lee Chong Wei

Come here

I am Latifah, Misbun's wife

If Misbun has offended you before this,

I would like to apologize for him

No, I'm okay

Misbun is the eldest son in his family

His dad is really strict on him

because

his dad has a champion dream

that's why since he's young,

Misbun already carry his whole family's dream

The thing I am really proud of Misbun

is that he believe dream can be achieved no matter

besides the people who give up themselves

Chong Wei

Your appearance

lighten up his hope

Your dream is his dream

Do you know that?

The time that he is with you

is longer than the time he is with me

but I don't mind

because

We already think of you as our family

Beautiful

Congratulations, proud of you!

Send

No, he wants to train, he also needs training

If he's not good,

you think he can get such good result like Mew Choo?

Thank you you have to work hard too, I will wait for you

Go go go

Chong Wei, here

China Lin Dan

On my right Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia

On my left Lin Dan from China

Sport: Lin Dan still manage to maintain his gold by beating Lee Chong Wei

So what do you think about Lee Chong Wei's performance

Lee Chong Wei is too old to be under our training

his technique has been ingrained

he has no good basic

of course he coudn't do well

Ya, his performance is not stable

We better not waste our time

and I don't think so that he should go to All England

Misbun, what do you think?

Chong Wei's skill is as good as Lin Dan

but Lin Dan disrupt his tempo

so he lacks of confidence

and also the ability to overcome distraction

This is not about the skill,

it's all about mentality

That is not an excuse

the fact is

he couldn't beat Lin Dan

so what do you propose for the All England Champion

I hope that he can join

I bear all the responsibility

Enough

Enough

I said to stop

I asked you to put it down

Do you know why you lost?

I have not enough stamina

You are not lack of stamina

you pressured yourself

I fight for champion, is that wrong?

Chong Wei, listen to me

I want you to be a

player who can go far

not a player who only wants to win in one competition

I want you to be a player who can challenge in all competition

and I want a player who can maintain the champion

do you understand?

Chong Wei,

I know you can do it

I already think of you as my own child

I will give you all my experiences that I have had

You can be number one

coach

Sorry, coach. I tried my best

6 more months is the Malaysian Open Championship

Lin Dan will come again

Fight for it

I heard that you are leaving the national team, is that true?

It's the national team's decision

Do you know why I did not let you to participate in the All England before that?

Me and you

carry the country's reputation

My duty is to make sure every player

100 percent ready for any competition

I did not let you participate to protect you

Do you remember why I asked you to pick up shuttlecock?

In the badminton world,

racket is our pride

so when you throw your racket on the floor,

that means you throw you pride to the floor

so how can we bring reputation to our country

and when we are picking up shuttlecock,

we will kneel down

we will make ourselves humble

and when we feel humble,

no matter what problems we face, we can still face it calmly

Do you understand? Understand

coach

do you think I can beat Lin Dan?

Chong Wei

The badminton spirit is not because of winning or losing

Look at me

You have to find back

where does your dream start

and I want you to not forget your original intention of playing badminton

How's life?

Are you okay?

Are you not getting used to the new coach?

How do you know?

Misbun came here before

Misbun? Yes

He asked me about many things when you were young

He wanted me to tell you

This year Malaysia Open Championship

will change to 21 points scoring system

Tempo will be faster

so you have to maintain your physical training

then you can have an explosive force immediately

Wong Choong Hann is hurt in the Thomas Cup

and he has to rest for half a year

This year's Malaysia Open Championship

you will definitely face Lin Dan again

Chong Wei

when you are doubting yourself,

try to think about the people who believe you can do it

Uncle, I will do my best Ok

Mum are you not asleep yet? No

What about you?

Why are you keeping this rag?

This is used for the blanket when you were young

Chong Wei

Mum is very happy that there are many coaches coaching you to play badminton

you have to appreciate it

maybe the things they taught you are like these rags

you have to pick it up one by one

do you understand?

it will be very useful in the future

What your mum said is right

You ask yourself

why are you playing badminton?

you are going back to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow

this is the haw flake you like

bring it

if you play badminton just to get champion,

you already did long time ago

I would like to represent Malaysia to play badminton one day
