Liu Ying says communication with coach key to overcoming crisis

KUALA LUMPUR: National mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have been advised to continue to communicate openly with their coaches should they face any tension in their collaboration on the court. Former national mixed doubles player Goh Liu Ying said the world number four pair not only needs to communicate with each other, but should discuss more in depth with their coaches to ensure they are on the same track and goal. Their coach is Indonesian Nova Widanto. "Each player will see each other's weaknesses because each wants to improve," said Liu Ying. "There may be players who feel like using this tactic but their partner wants to use another strategy. I think that situation (doubles) is very common. "So, the role of the coach here is very important, they have to discuss so that they can achieve the same goal,' she said when met recently. In March, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were separated to give the coach room to try a new combination following tension in their relationship. Following that, the two of them got new partners, with Ee Wei pairing Loo Bing Kun while Tang Jie paired with Chan Wen Tse in the 2025 Taiwan Open as their first test. However, in April, BAM announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were paired again following a request from both players and the result of comprehensive discussions between the coaching team and the players. The 2025 Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China was the first stage for them to pair up again to successfully help the national squad advance to the quarter-finals. Liu Ying said that any disagreement that arose was a bittersweet moment that any pair had to go through and she also faced the same situation with his partner Chan Peng Soon once before. "We quarreled too much. All pairs quarrel but the purpose of the quarrel was the same because each wanted to win,' she said. Liu Ying and Peng Soon once made history by becoming the first mixed doubles representatives from the country to win a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. - Bernama

Bilbao star Jauregizar denies Malaysia links fake rumours

ATHLETIC Bilbao's rising midfielder Mikel Jauregizar has shot down persistent rumours linking him to the Malaysian national team, calling the speculation 'complete rubbish'. The 20-year-old Spanish player told Marca newspaper that claims about his supposed Malaysian heritage are entirely fabricated, despite widespread social media buzz suggesting he could represent Harimau Malaya. 'It's all made up. Malaysian connection? Impossible - that's total nonsense. I won't be playing for Malaysia,' Jauregizar stated firmly in the report. The rumours gained traction after a local sports journalist's video went viral, claiming the Bilbao youngster had Malaysian roots that could make him eligible for naturalisation. 'My friends showed me this video from some Malaysian journalist who invented this story about my background,' he explained. 'People just create these wild stories out of nothing.' The midfielder, who prefers staying away from media attention, admitted the false claims still reached him through social platforms. 'I'm not keen on interviews, but somehow all this fake news finds its way to us players,' he said. According to New Straits Times, this marks the second time in recent weeks that European players have had to debunk Malaysian heritage claims. Dutch striker Ferdy Druijf previously dismissed similar rumours, telling ESPN Netherlands that random Instagram accounts had spread false information about his grandmother's supposed Malaysian background. 'It's mental how these stories spread,' Druijf had said. 'Even got more Instagram followers from it, which is quite mad really.' Malaysian football fans, eager for naturalised talent, have been quick to share these unverified claims across social media platforms, creating viral moments that eventually reach the players themselves.
