The Minions Clearly Have A Burden Ahead Of The 2020 Tokyo Olympics

JAKARTA - The men's doubles sector is Indonesia's mainstay to win a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics which will be held in 2021. There are two men's doubles that will bear the name Indonesia.

Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo / Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Hendra Setiawan / Mohammad Ahsan became the foundation of Red and White. Both are expected to keep the Indonesian tradition of winning gold from badminton.

The burden is clearly there. Both partners have always felt this way, especially Kevin / Marcus, in every tournament. The reason is, The Minions are always required to be champions.

"Yes, but not too burdened. It was proven that they could run their target in the previous tournament, although there were one or two who passed," said PBSI men's doubles head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi in a talk at BadminTALKSHOW.

According to coach Herry, players usually use that load to boost motivation. It can be seen that in practice, they are increasingly enthusiastic to be better.

"They are also used to facing pressure,"

Previously, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon admitted the pressure was getting bigger as the position got higher. Every time you go to a tournament, The Minions are now always on target.

"The final is considered a failure," said Marcus in a live Instagram with PP PBSI on the @ badminton.ina account, Sunday, June 14 yesterday.

However, Marcus always enjoyed the pressure. She and Kevin always go through the match as much as possible so that there is no regret even if they fail.

"Because the important thing is that you have tried your best. So just enjoy it and do your best, usually there is fortune," said Marcus.
