Rexy tells shuttlers to give it all against top seeds Indonesia

In Aichi, Malaysia's national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky urged his team to give their all against top-seeded Indonesia in the men's team quarter-finals at the Asian Games. Rexy emphasized that a fighting spirit and never-say-die mentality would be crucial for the Malaysian squad facing the favoured Indonesians. He urged the players not to focus on Indonesia's ranking, but to approach the match with confidence and determination.

Rexy stressed that the key to success lies in team spirit, and the players must step onto the court believing they will give everything they have. He explained that fielding Malaysia's strongest lineup against Mongolia was not only about securing a win, but also to familiarize the players with court conditions and test the strategies prepared by the coaching team.

Rexy highlighted that these experiences would give the Malaysian players an advantage when they face the top-ranked Indonesia. He noted that the upcoming match against Indonesia would be a genuine test for the national squad, with Malaysia relying on their doubles combinations and singles players securing at least one point to have a chance at an upset.

Rexy stressed that Malaysia's focus is on all five matches, and victory against Indonesia would secure at least a bronze medal for the team.
