0 Prediksi Thomas Cup 2012 (Vol.1): Malaysia Butuh Lebih Daripada Lee Chong Wei

LCW

Lee Chong Wei tak diragukan lagi adalah pebulutangkis andalan sekaligus harapan terbesar Malaysia untuk ikut mendominasi arena bulutangkis dunia. Banyak gelar bergengsi yang ia telah sumbangkan meskipun Chong Wei masih merasa belum lengkap tanpa gelar juara olimpiade dan/atau juara dunia, dua kejuaraan yang menjadi targetnya selama ini.

Sepak terjang LCW melampaui reputasi para pendahulunya seperti Misbun Sidek, Foo Kok Keong, Rashid Sidek, dan Ong Ewe Hock. Pantas saja jika Malaysia begitu optimistis saat ini. Di tengah dominasi Cina mereka boleh berbangga dengan peringkat nomor satu dunia tunggal putra yang disandang pemain kelahiran George Town, Penang tersebut (setidaknya hingga pekan ke-2 tahun ini).

Daren Liew

Saat ini selain Chong Wei Malaysia juga memiliki tunggal putra berbakat yang mulai nampak berkompetisi. Sebut saja Daren Liew, Hafiz Hashim, dan tentu saja juara dunia yunior 2011, Zulfadli Zulkifli. Akan tetapi, reputasi ketiga rekan senegara ini relatif jauh di bawah LCW (bandingkan dengan Cina (Lin Dan-Chen Long-Chen Jin), Indonesia (Simon-Taufik-Tommy), Jepang (Tago-Sasaki-Yamada), atau Denmark (Gade-Jorgensen-Vittinghus). Karenanya, kehebatan Chong Wei dalam kompetisi perorangan sepertinya belum cukup untuk membawa Malaysia meraih Piala Thomas 2012.

Hafiz Hashim

Sebuah pekerjaan rumah bagi korps pelatih Malaysia. Kekuatan beregu putra negara tetangga Indonesia ini bahkan kalah solid dibandingkan Denmark. Pasalnya, selain minim kekuatan tunggal pendukung LCW, pada bagian ganda pun Malaysia sedang mengalami krisis. Duet Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong yang semula sangat berbahaya sekarang seperti telah mengalami penurunan prestasi. Malaysia perlu bekerja keras untuk menembus babak semifinal Piala Tomas yang tahun ini akan berlangsung di Wuhan, Cina, pada bulan Mei mendatang.
