I'm watching this old match in 2019, and what a treat it is to hear the commentators talk about Lin Dan's accomplishments thus far (2008 Olympic Gold). First game was intense! Second game was a throwaway, and the third game started off strong. Great match!
Peter Gade has many virtues of an athlete, insistence, hard-work as well as his persistent pursuit of perfection. I am not saying that LCW and Lin Dan or you name it don't process theses virtues, but the virtues glitter brightly when one has to come across so many failures without tasting the height of championship, though his hard-work makes him well-deserved one. All the athletes work damn hard, and I cannot help feeling sorry for those who never make their way to their aspiration.
22:17 "Lots of people have discussed whether he's (Lin Dan) the greatest player ever." YES HE IS!!! The only won to have achieved the super grand slam. (By completing all 9 major titles in the sport if badminton) Out of 9, 3 most prestigious titles that Lin Dan has won, 2X Olympics 5X World Championships 6X All England
The craziest thing about a 34 yrs old Peter Gade is being able to follow the pace and even take one game from a pre Olympic, prime form 2011 LD lol, these two guys will body any badminton player in today's age
man, you can't blame him on being biased, of course he's biased - he says in the very beginning that he has coached Gade in the past. You don't have to be a genius to know about his affiiations. I still think it's very interesting what he has to say. And he is always fair, also giving Dan credit. Personally, I prefer biased commentators to boring commentators.
They say "You can't compare era's" I'm sorry, there is no player that was able to keep up with Lin Dan from 2007-2011. He was so fast, so powerful, had the perfect touch, unbelievable net play, and basically "invented" the diving defense that everyone loves. They may not be able to compare era's but I will. There is no player that has ever played better than Lin Dan in his prime, and we may never see another player like him or Chong Wei.
I know right...saying you can't compare guys from the past playing with wooden rackets and oversized shoes to Lin Dan is foolishness there is a comparison it's just so pitiful there's no point making it
I actually regard Taufik Hidayat in his prime as the best player ever concerning technique, deception and domination of the game. Just watch how easily he gained advantage if he just wanted to between 2003 and 2006 also against players like Lin Dan an Lee Chong Wei. And they surely weren´t just beginners. Later he lost motivation.
acadepedia I somewhat agree, his technical skill was possibly the greatest we’ve ever seen, and his footwork was extremely efficient. But Lin Dan’s badminton IQ is too high. He is one of the smartest players to ever play the game, his ability to control the rally is incredible, he has great court vision, and his anticipation is probably the best. In his prime, he was also very explosive, and this let him dominate the game with not only skill but also power. His mental strength is also so strong because he almost always pulls through in the most crucial moments, which is why I think he is the best all-around player of all time.
@@devvaswani7909 That may be. But you know as well as I do that LinDan has been defeated by Lee Chong Wei. So I introduced the idea that LCW is also only extinguishable by time knowing that people would say things like "LinDan basically wins every time they meet". "Basically" means that it doesn't happen every time. Therefore LCW has defeated LinDan just not as often as LinDan has defeated LCW. That said it proves my point that LCW could and has defeated LinDan. Though I have to admit. I saw your comment yesterday when I was sober but as I type this I am drunk. Also, I was likely drunk when I wrote the original comment. So good call. I just love LCW. In a friendly, manly, heterosexual kinda way of course.
Amazing how many levels LCW and Lin Dan were ahead of the field. Peter Gade was still ranked number 3 but he was a heavy underdog whenever he played the other 2.
insane that Peter played like that against LD after his match against T.Nguyen the day before - he's a 35-year-old single player but he's still challenging 28-year-old LD :D
I honestly wish I got to see 35 year old Peter Gade vs 35 year old Lin Dan. I honestly feel that Peter Gade was better by that time. Even after 2 knee surgeries which shows hes clearly slower, he did this well against 28 year old Lin Dan. 4 Kings for a reason.
Morten Frost is a great player. I watched his game with Jianhua Zhao in All England and you know he is a legend level player. PG is my fav and so is Lin and Taufik. You do not blame Morten on this commenting work because apparently, Lin is the top dog and Peter is the challenger in this match. It is a blessing you can have Morten as the commentator for badminton matches, I always enjoy his work. And Lin Dan only gave his 70% in this match that is true too. Whenever he wants to shift to the next gear, you have it. And the game is over.
@@ianmostowy4582 lol...Lin dan was World #1 since 2004, and he destroyed Lcw at 2008 Olympic games. LCW only became a challenger by 2009, yet still lose most of the time.
after watching this match nobody gv lin dan any chance against lcw in the final....but somehow he managed to beat lcw in the final....thats lin dan, able to deliver when it matters most...
Peter Gade played a really good game, with good tactics and mindset, catch up with the pace of Lin Dan most of the time until the end of the final 5-6 points. Surprisingly see that LD couldn't expect PG's backhand push to his own backhand side so many times just in a game, and apparently LD is more experienced than then.:)
Lin Dan is no doubtedly the best players of all time. But in this game: Peter Gade is way old and nearing his carrer end. Offcourse he has gone slow and missing the speed. But to all my Badminton Lovers friend: PETER GADE is a legend just like Taufiq Hidayat, LinDan, LCW, Victot.. They made us all fall in luv with this game. A defeat can not justify the caliber of a player. And someone did pointed out rightly in the comment section. LinDan is just slow in this game. He can go way faster. 😊He once smashed so hard that the shuttle dissapeared and was found in 15 th century record and the game of Badminton was born. That shuttle was LinDan smashed shuttle 😀😁
what a nice game between this two legend. walaupun peter gade kalah tapi dia menunjukkan permainan berkelas. dan lin dan juga bermain sangat apik. selalu nyaman meliat para legenda bermain .
PG's stamina is over on the last game,,, lin dan has did well on this match, even tough he made a lot of unforced erors on this match. its rare to see him made a lot of erors,
Although there are players that can play more technical than this nowadays, there is no denying that there aren't any players out there that are as far ahead of the curve as Lin Dan from 2007-2013. He just played at a different level when he was at his best versus any of his competition. LCW definitely had the physicality and the skills that Lin Dan possessed, but Lin Dan still played at a higher overall level back then and there is no one these days like that.
@@Starrynova Momota technically for sure. Explosiveness, Lee Zi Ja, Ginting is WAYYYY faster than Lin Dan ever was. But there’s no denying that Lin Dan was the best at putting it all together back in 2007-13
Peter gade was really good man, his shots were unpredictable and he always waits for the last second to hit the shot disrupting the tempo. He was winning the rallies against LD but LD was too fast and powerful.
May be he is ... but there are slight differences. The one you pointed on Peter Gade was 14-15. And the one with LD was match point 22-21. During the last crucial point it is best if the player takes time to cool down.
Not completely. Badminton play is always developing. Nowadays, the players are more patient, waiting for the right chance instead of wasting energy in constantly pushing ending in a good defense by the opponent. Defense was a lot improved by many players.
We should not forget that Peter is 34 years old ^^ He's own one of the best players ever both technically and tactically physically he's not at his best anymore.
I just mention it because it`s even harder now where Peter is older. At least he had a better chance in the young years. But thanks for telling, i did not know that because i mostly see female singles. But could not stop looking at my country man because i know it is his last time in prof badminton :-)
Crazy how quickly the game evolves. Watching this in 2018, this play/style is so much slower than the style that is played now just watch kento momota playing in 2018 side by side to this and you will see the huge difference.
Doesn't look slower to me. About the same overall. Some games with LD and LCW in that era looked faster than current 'fast' games tbh. But I would say overall the speed is pretty similar depending on the match up.
I agree. I think it has a lot to do with the quality of the tools i.e. but there is no denying that Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei have forced everyone to raise their game. Don't get me wrong Peter Gade {Pronounced Guille in his language - or close to it - not GAEDA as the female commentator says) is the shit. But he didn't evolve his game style. Of course in this game he is 34 but Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei both watched him play before they were pro. So they got to see what worked and what didn't. I don't know.....What I do know is that for someone to say that one player is the best of all time is ridiculous. The game evolves as each generation pushes the limits of the generation before them. That's how it gets better and faster.
Yep Morton Frost is biased. That's obvious. But I'm fine with that, he brings a level of depth to his analysis that the other commentators don't even get close to.
Be aware that Peter is 34 years at this point, and slower. Age make a different in sport. You are at top physically in the 20`s. In danish they also said that Peter`s smashes is slower and he recover slower after a previous game than before.
Wow...I thought Gade was just about trick shots and good sportsmanship but he's quite impressive physically too. He's putting up a good fight against Lin Dan (ecept 2nd set) when he's in his mid 30s lol.
MF is danish and so is Gade and hes also a clase friend of LCW. I think its just hard for him not to be a little biased. Especially against LD who has beaten LCW and Gade so many times.
