National coach Tey Seu Bock says Lee Chong Wei will overcome his problems

Tey Seu Bock, the national coach for Singles in Malaysia, said that the country’s top shuttler Lee Chong Wei is a strong man and despite having many problems he will remain focused in his preparation for Olympic Games 2012, which is less than 50 days away.

The 29-year-old Chong Wei, who is World Number one at the moment, has been suffering with uncharacteristic injuries for the last few months and is currently getting recovered from an ankle injury he received in last month’s Thomas Cup Finals 2012.

Injury is not the only problem that is creating hurdles in his preparation for Olympic Games as he is also facing severe family problems as well. His father, Lee Ah Chai tried to commit suicide yesterday but was saved by the police men in Penang.

This news was quite shocking for him and keeping his focus on his preparation is not easy for him.

Nevertheless, Seu Bock said that he is a strong man and will not let his problems come in his way to win his first ever gold in Olympic Games.

He also said that he should be given space and also should be left alone to deal with his private matters by himself.

The coach said, “Chong Wei is a strong person and he will continue to stay focused in his preparation for the London Games. He deserves his privacy as he has sacrificed so much for the sport and brought glory to the country. He should be left alone to deal
with his private matters.”

The World Number One is rapidly recovering from injury and has started light training. The coach is optimistic that he will start full training sessions and will be back on track before London Olympics.

Seu Bock said “We don’t know when he will be able to begin full-time training but it is good to see little improvements. What he needs right now is positive support so he can focus on the Olympics.”

He also said that Chong Wei needs to become fully fit before Olympic Games to face the strong line-up of Chinese shuttlers who will go all out to deny him his first ever gold medal in Olympic Games.
