LKY has improved by leaps and bounds after all these training with Vik. Hence, I actually think the SBF should start more such programs to help our locals spar with overseas top players. Its lovely to see 2 top players from a totally different background and culture being such buddies, kool!
Viktor speaks awesome Mandarin. Puts me to shame... And it's great to see the special bond between them. Lky is likely the nicest sports celeb around. He makes all of us in sgp so proud! 🇸🇬❤️
Im shockedddd he speaks mandarin v well😲😲
Wow, he could speak Mandarin excellently. Both are humble and down to earth guys. It's their attitude that makes them great.
Wow Viktor speaks such good mandarin.
Haha yeah that's one of the reasons he's so good, he got trained by a Chinese guy
He understands all the tactical advices that the Chinese coaches give to his Chinese oppenents ;)
That video left me in tears. Two warriors who can put aside all combativeness outside the court.
it is such a surprise to learn that Axelsen could speak such fluent mandarin. Goes to show when a person is determined to learn he would succeed. The beginning of great friendship started as training partner evolving into brotherly competitor and both will flip flop in winning competition but once off the court - badminton brotherhood. Great to see how sports always bring the best of each of us. Same like Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer -both respects each other on and off the court...rarely one sees such good sportsmanship. Hope both will keep challenging each other and push each to excel....thanks Straits Times for bringing us this interview...
He's very smart. He knows where the market for badminton is. He also grew up in the internet age where his idols Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei dominated the circuit. Now he's been able to connect on a more personal level with some of the giants in the sport as well as opening some more sponsorship opportunities overseas.
@@luf4rall besides being smart his willingness to learn mandarin is very difficult because it is so different from his mother tongue.. being in Europe many of the languages have commonality... Mandarin is totally different so he has to put in lots of effort... it is such a surprise and am glad that Axel spoke so fluently
Always feel that axelsen was a very serious guy…. Till now 😃
Thanks for the interview!
Two of my favorite MS players. 2:52 "Ok La" and 3:55 "I have to pump it up first " had me LOL 😆 😅 😂
Glad that The Straits Times did this bromance special. Got to see these two good players outside the court.. pleasantly surprised.
Loved the interview. :)
Great to watch, two of my favorite players right now.
These players are both amazing
They played under of their own expensive style on how to play on court
Love watching hopefully Kento Momoto of Japan and Jonathan Christie of Indonesia
"Listen carefully when I speak" 😂
This is so wholesome!
they have the perfect chemistry..
Bagus banget persahabatan dua atlit ini. Love it. Salam dari Indonesia.
WANT TO SEE MORE OF THESE
They make me smile 😆
Those guy are really a great friend together hope that you gonna question them again. 👍🏻👍🏻
Two true and awesome sportsmen and human! 👍👍👍👍
Very well balance n likeable Axelsen
Bromance = fellowship of the highest order >> 2 people in one ship >> spiritual !. Eternal life !.
Is he single
@@cupidok2768 what accord has GOD with Belial or what agreement or fellowship has GOD with satan ?. Nothing to do with single.
@@awequayzngs1780 so god said love is satan. ok god is the opposite of love then
@@cupidok2768 can light and darkness have fellowship ? . All in the world are common sense stuff. The natural always type the spiritual. Life × death ; good × evil ; GOD × satan ; Love ❤️ × hate . Who or which is the greater , even a fool knows !. Common sense 👏.
@@awequayzngs1780 so is common sense he's single?
Cool guys .top players.
Axelsen will be the next legends
He allready is
True Champion leaves behind honour. And True Legends leave behind legacy...
So bromance
Wow, didn't know LKY's English is so good
Well, since most of Singaporean and Malaysian use english for their daily life, I think it's not a secret anymore...
@@furumagica2177 not really malaysians, the national language in malaysia is malay. malaysians typically speak in their mother toungue languages. in the more developed areas in malaysia, people do speak english but definitely the percentage of people in the country who speak english as their first language is much higher in Singapore than Malaysia
@@furumagica2177 all Malaysian need to learn English but not everyone can speak it
That's hilarious considering English is compulsory in Singapore and Malaysia in school. We are supposed to speak English well unless one is uneducated, older folks, some kampong malays or something.
LKY so cute 🥰
ohhhh so sweet =)
Hi Axelsen how are you I love watching you on court
Hi LKY love watching you also
Keep up the good work
See you in court
Holy shit... Axelsen speaking fluent Mandarin caught me off guard.... damn bro... he's so talented
Can you speak your national language? It's a shame when people make mandarin is such an important language as most Malaysian born Chinese can't even speak good malay and English anymore. Hearing Loh Kean yew English with those hockien accent reminds me of Mark Lee znd Jack neo speaking Singlish.
Omg Victor's mandarin is so impressive! I'm amazed!
Good
Lin dan is legend
Now viktor is fev player
Wow didn’t know they know how to speak.
Yeah tht ws suprise haha i know since victor did ig live with lee cong wei n speak mandarin long time ago. At that time maigaddd is he real???

i'm impressed with Viktor's mandarin. wahhhh. right practice makes good sense. speak it often.
Axelsen speaks better mandarin than many Chinese Singaporeans

Vik’s mandarin is much better than lky 😂
No la. Lky mandarin is Singaporean slang , whereas Viktor’s mandarin is more China type of slang…
Me, who didn't even know that VK and LKY are friends of this level. 😓😓😓😓
