Lee Zii Jia’s coach Liew Daren hit by online backlash after Vietnam Open upset

Coach Liew Daren faced online criticism after Lee Zii Jia's early exit from the Vietnam Open, losing to Taiwan's Wu Zhe-ying in the second round.

Daren, who started coaching Zii Jia in January, shared harsh comments on social media blaming him for Zii Jia's poor performances.

Despite recent struggles, former world No. 2 Zii Jia receives sympathy from BAM's Lee Chong Wei, who offers support for his possible return to the national team.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 — Lee Zii Jia’s coach Liew Daren has faced a wave of online criticism after the Malaysian shuttler suffered a shock early exit from the Vietnam Open.

The backlash came after Zii Jia’s defeat by Taiwan’s world No. 88 Wu Zhe-ying in the second round of the Super 100 tournament, with The Star reporting that Daren shared one particularly harsh comment on his personal social media account.

“Oii you better quit from Team Lee Zii Jia, you are the most useless coach he can get,” the badminton fan wrote.

The same individual later criticised Daren again in response to another Instagram post, alleging that the coach’s advice had contributed to Zii Jia’s recent poor performances.

Daren took charge of coaching Zii Jia in January after Yeoh Kay Bin left the role to join the Badminton Association of Malaysia’s junior men’s singles programme.

Zii Jia had opted to compete in the lower-tier Vietnam Open as part of an effort to regain his confidence, but his defeat to Wu ended his campaign in the second round.

BAM performance committee chairman Lee Chong Wei has expressed sympathy for Zii Jia’s struggles and again offered the former Asian champion a possible route back into the national set-up if he requires assistance in rebuilding his form.

Zii Jia was previously one of the leading players in the men’s singles game, reaching a career-high world No. 2 in 2022 after winning the All-England title the previous year.

However, a succession of injuries kept him out of action for an extended period last year and affected his performances.

The 28-year-old had also disclosed that he had battled depression, adding to the difficulties he faced during a challenging period in his career.

李梓嘉在越南公开赛第二轮输给中华台北选手吴哲英后，教练刘达伦遭到了网络上的批评。

达伦从一月份开始执教赵紫佳，他在社交媒体上发表了严厉的评论，指责赵紫佳表现不佳。

尽管最近遭遇了一些困难，但前世界排名第二的赵紫佳得到了缅甸羽毛球协会的李宗伟的同情，李宗伟表示支持他重返国家队。

吉隆坡，9月12日讯——马来西亚羽毛球运动员李梓嘉在越南公开赛上意外早早出局后，其教练刘达伦遭到了网络上的猛烈抨击。

在赵子嘉于世界排名第 88 位的中华台北选手吴哲英在世界百强赛第二轮失利后，引发了强烈反弹。《星报》报道称，达伦在他的个人社交媒体账户上发表了一条特别尖锐的评论。

“喂，你最好退出李梓嘉队，你是他能找到的最没用的教练，”这位羽毛球球迷写道。

后来，同一人又在另一篇 Instagram 帖子下再次批评了达伦，声称这位教练的建议导致了子佳最近的糟糕表现。

1月份，杨凯斌离开教练岗位，加入马来西亚羽毛球协会青少年男子单打项目后，达伦接任了杨子佳的教练一职。

子佳选择参加级别较低的越南公开赛，以期重拾信心，但他在第二轮输给了吴，结束了他的征程。

马来西亚羽毛球协会（BAM）绩效委员会主席李宗伟对赵紫佳的困境表示同情，并再次表示，如果这位前亚洲冠军需要帮助恢复状态，协会将提供一条重返国家队的道路。

贾梓嘉曾是男子单打比赛的顶尖选手之一，在前一年赢得全英公开赛冠军后，于 2022 年达到了职业生涯最高的世界排名第二。

然而，去年他因伤病缠身而长期缺席比赛，影响了他的表现。

这位 28 岁的球员还透露，他曾与抑郁症作斗争，这加剧了他职业生涯中那段充满挑战的时期所面临的困难。
