Indonesian Men’s Doubles Head Coach Herry Iman Pierngadi deny himself pampering Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo until a rift appears in the relationship between the two.
This was emphasized by the trainer who was nicknamed the Fire Dragon because he did not want to prolong the problem of Kevin, who did not want to be trained by him anymore.
“I don’t have any pampering players. Everything is equal. If you are pampered, the men’s doubles will not be like it is now,” said Herry to reporters, Monday (26/9/2022).
The current situation is what Herry meant is the regeneration of the men’s doubles which has been successful. Although there are still Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon, and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, the men’s doubles have produced three pairs of outstanding players.
Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin won the gold medal at the 2021 SEA Games. Meanwhile, Bagas Maulana/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri won the All England 2022 and Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan won the 2022 Asia.
In this regard, he also did not want to prolong his problem with Kevin, including giving a warning letter. He handed it over to PBSI.
“Yes, that’s his right. As a coach, I have done my best. I have tried. You can’t be forced. If you are forced to practice, it’s not good,” he said.
“Other people will judge, I don’t want to judge. Yes, PBSI will decide,” he said regarding the Warning Letter (SP).
“That’s it. Kevin has also spoken to the management. He said he doesn’t want to be trained, doesn’t suit me, that’s okay, it’s okay. It’s not hard to deal with.”
“You want to practice with me, please, don’t do it. Everyone is an adult, you already know. Don’t worry about it, enlarge it,” said Herry.
Herry IP also doesn’t think too much about this problem because there are still many players who need his attention.
“I don’t want to think about it. There are still a lot of subordinates, they still need it. There are still many who need me, there are many players in Pelatnas. What I think about is that I need me. ” said the 60-year-old coach.
