who is momoto?

lee is past his prime, he's 35 in this video

​​@@melonusk6120 both should've been credited if u r truly badminton fan🤷

​@@melonusk6120n no one care bout who past their prime or not😂, just enjoy the play

ok you are the best, im sorry for giving my ameteurish opinion@@contentsxd2541

You think watching this will reverse the effects to the body of the near death accident he went through???

Notice that he copied Lin Dan style by following that stick smash after lifting

5:11 lcw did the same

He was 33. That's far from 40.

He’s 35. Let’s be honest here.

And just after that tournament Lee chong beat kento momota in two straight sets in the malayasia open 2018, just before he diagonosed with nose cancer. What an incredible athlete he was.

@@abhishekdasgupta1640 incorrect 2018 Malaysia open was before 2018 Indonesia open. Badminton Asia championship which is before Malaysia and Indonesia open, where Momota also beat LCW

he was 36 during the matched.

Both of you are wrong, he was 35. It literally shows in the video.

@@denzelnolet nope...born 1982...so 36🙂

@@sallehkamil9919nope, LCW is born on 21st October 1982. This tournament is in April 2018. LCW is not 36 yet. He’s 35.

You're just saying things. LCW was still in fantastic shape and even at this age, still rarely tired out even in long competitions compared to some of the younger competitors that get tired after 3 sets. You're also not giving enough credit to Momota. His footwork was fantastic (ofc LCW looks like he's gliding across the floor) and it's almost an insult to say Momota is using double the steps. He is certainly not and shows you don't know anything about the technicalities. Footwork is a pattern and at their level, you have a certain amount of steps to take to get to each corner of the court. Momota does not take double the steps (sure he might take an occasional extra step out of balance but LCW does that too). The ONLY thing Momota might take an extra step in is the overhead corner shots which I think he sometimes does. However this is just one footwork pattern. You literally said half the steps which is incorrect. You could say LCW makes it look effortless compared to Momota which is right but saying Momota takes 2x steps than LCW is completely incorrect and shows you are either an absolute beginner or just a casual player with no real knowledge. I'm just amazed you can say such a dumb thing...(I'm going to mute your comment because I know you're going to reply with an equally silly comment).

​@Andrew.webster1 after a couple months, lcw was diagnosed nose cancer, so yes, his physicality was affected but not that great

​@@Andrew.webster1I know you're momota fan, but u deny the fact that lcw and simon santoso has the best footwork

​​​@@obviouslee7460lol he never said best footwork. Best isnt even real because there could be many different definitions. Someone could be faster but less efficient, someone could be more efficient but lacks adaptability, someone can be smooth but lack explosiveness. Best is subjective. All he said was momota has more efficient footwork than lee chong wei, which is true. Lee chong wei is much more physically capable and athletic than momota. Momota moves fast but looks slow, and thats what efficiency is (just like 2011 lin dan looking like he walks around the court). He doesnt have the shredded muscular body of prime lee chong wei, lin dan, and chen long. His body is soft like taufik (who also had very efficient footwork, but didnt play to the same level as the 3 goats i mentioned), but he keeps up with more athletic people BECAUSE of his efficiency. Thats why you see he cant explode like prime lcw and ld. He'll have to give up efficiency for explosiveness.

Well that's false they literally played one more time in Malaysia open 2018 this was before Malaysia open 2018

​@secrettheeban2044 if this was before Malaysian open then they played one more at indonesian open

​@@zirconia1205yes correct just before that he diagnosed with nose cancer

I mean you can't blame momota man's nearly died in 2020 car accident in Malaysia honest to god if he didn't get injured he'd won the Olympic that year

​@@secrettheeban2044yeah chen long and axelson

bro almost died in an accident and had injury, idk how u can expect him to be consistent

Bro if accident didn’t happen he would still be in top 1 and had won the olympic

This malay guy didnt know what make him cant play well, u guys literally drive him into crash incident n u said he cant be consistent with his play, do u even know he had broken disk that make him do less active play before that accident occurred

Weak? Everybody is weak when they're playing in their 30's. 😂

Taufik hidayat more weak 😂

@@mirwanmuzani6632 poor lcw is forgotten player lol

Yes that's cz of his injury back in 2020 the car accident which killed the drive and seriously injured momota most people would end their career there but momota still plays bcz the love he has for the sport if he didn't get injured he would've won Olympic 2020

@@secrettheeban2044 nah i think even if he didn’t get injured he cant beat axelsen, axelsen was catching up to momota regardless

​@@Asphaltx6nah, axelsen is shit. Momota would still beat his ass lika he always did.

⁠@@Asphaltx6that’s false. When Momota came back from suspension and before the car accident happen, Axelsen never beat Momota.

​@@Asphaltx6momota prime>axelsen prime
