In fact, the lack of group advantage leads to the lack of battery life not only Japanese team , Sukamulyo/ Gideon , Dai Ziying all have such problems. There is no doubt about the personal talent and absolute strength of these two groups of players, but the lack of daily high-intensity and oppressive confrontation will make them less mentally strong. He can kill everyone in the open competition and can easily bring the game to a rhythm that he is comfortable with. However, in major competitions, as long as the opponent plays with more resilience and the situation cannot immediately turn in his favor, " Minion" and Dai Ziying's mentality is prone to problems. The specific manifestations are eagerness for success and constant mistakes, and they are all unforced mistakes.
I believe that many teams and players are aware of this, but they are somewhat helpless, because judging from the current situation, it seems that no team has the conditions to establish group advantages and create internal high-quality and high-intensity confrontation. From this perspective, I must talk about what I think is the biggest highlight in the international badminton world this year, the "Axelsen Training Camp".
Axelsen It is difficult to find a training atmosphere that can give him enough pressure within the Danish team, so he formed his own training team, and the athletes in the team come from different countries and have different playing styles, which makes the internal Confrontations are more diverse and closer to actual combat. I don't know their specific training model, , but from the strong performance of Luo Jianyou at the end of the year, it can be seen that the effect of this training team has been reflected.
I think Axelsen is very smart. First of all, he understands the role of group advantages. Secondly, he dares to face his team members without reservation., even if it caused him to lose to Luo Jianyou at the end of the year, he did not look angry. , instead publicly expressed on social software that he hoped Luo Jianyou would return to the training team as soon as possible. Dare to show his trump card, let others defeat him, and complete progress, improvement, and even transformation in the process. Axelsen's approach is very bold and smart. His performance in 2021 is already amazing enough. If he does this If this training model can continue, I think his performance in 2022 will be even more shocking.
Finally, let me talk about my expectations for 2022. The competition in today's badminton world is more intense, but I think it's a bit unexciting. The reason is that the playing styles of most top players in each event are too close. For example, the men's singles focus on counterattacks, and the men's doubles basically hit the front. Field speed. There is nothing wrong with athletes imitating previous successful playing styles and imitating the style of their idols, but they must combine their own reality and develop their own characteristics. If they all go in the same direction, it will not only reduce the enjoyment of the game, but also lead to Athletes' individual talents are not brought into play. So I especially hope that in the new year, the world badminton world can be more colorful!
