The world's fourth-ranked Malaysian national badminton team's No. 2 mixed doubles "Jie Wei Combination" Chen Tangjie and Du Yiwei recently faced a turmoil over whether to break up, and the party Chen Tangjie opened his heart for the first time......
Regarding the question of whether the Jie Wei group is going to break up, Chen Tangjie said that he has not thought about this issue yet
The pair's partnership issues surfaced after the first round exit of the 2025 All England Badminton Super 1000 two weeks ago, with the most glaring rift being that Du Yiwei first deleted a photo of herself and Chen Tangjie on her social media IG, and then deleted all posts.
Malaysia's mixed doubles head coach Nova confirmed on Monday that the relationship between the Jie Wei pair has been good and bad, especially when the results are not good, so he decided to withdraw the two from the Asian Badminton Championships from April 8 to 13 to calm down. He also did not shy away from saying that the contradiction between Ruojiewei and the group could not be resolved in the end, or it could not avoid going their separate ways!
After a period of precipitation, the 27-year-old Tan Tong Kit revealed to the Malaysian media that his current thoughts are to continue to train hard and trust the coach's arrangements and decisions: "I just want to train better. I train every day and I don't think too much about it. We trust the decisions of the coaches and the decisions they make must be the best for us. "So for me, I'm just training hard every day and doing what I love."
Frankly admitting that it was a pity not to participate in the Asian Championships, Chen Tangjie said that Coach Nova had communicated with the two before making the decision to withdraw them from the Asian Championships. He personally thinks that it is a pity not to be able to participate, after all, the Asian Championships is to represent the country, and if he plays well, he may even have a chance to win a medal. "It's a bit of a shame," he said. But it doesn't matter, we didn't do well at the All England and Orleans Masters (Super 300) either, so I accepted the decision. ”
In the mixed doubles world rankings, the Jie Wei combination is ranked fourth
"I think any decision has its justifications. So for me, I just focus on what I like to play badminton one by one. "Since I wasn't playing in the Asian Championships, Coach Nova asked me to focus on my performance on the court. I follow the coaches, whether it's Coach Raisi (Director of Badminton Association Malaysia) or Coach Nova, they all have a lot of experience. For me, I'm okay with it, it's just training. ”
As for the partnership with Du Yiwei, which everyone is most concerned about, Chen Tangjie did not shy away from it, he said frankly: "All this is a process that doubles players must go through. But I think it's a positive effect on me and her, everything is under control. "For me, I am grateful to Yiwei and cherish what we have achieved. So I'm really thankful that every partner in my career has a great personality and attitude. For me, I just have to do my own thing. ”
"I'd definitely like to fight for another title with Yiwei, but that's going to depend on what happens next. Because I don't know what the next game will be, it could be the Sudirman Cup, or whatever, I don't know yet. So the only thing I can do is to be ready and ready to go at all times. ”
Separately, Nova pointed out yesterday that if things don't go their way as they hoped, they could arrange for the pair to split up temporarily and partner with younger players at the Chinese Taipei Super 300 (6-11 May) and Thailand Badminton Super 500 (13-18 May) in May.
As for the partnership with Du Yiwei, which everyone is most concerned about, Chen Tangjie said frankly that all this is a process that doubles players must go through.
Chen Tangjie said: "I didn't think too much about it. It's hard for me to tell. For me, all I can do is keep myself in shape and be ready at all times. "Like I said, I'm grateful, grateful for my former and current partners. So for me, I'm always ready and all I can do is focus on what's in front of me. "The question of whether you want to break up the gang is to ask the coach. I haven't thought about it yet. I'm not going to talk about it. I just follow the coach, who is the one who can make the best decisions. ”
Finally, on the question of whether the Jie Wei combination communicated during training, Chen Tangjie revealed: "We are discussing. Because today is her first day back to training. We're also in discussions with the coach. ”
