Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Men’s doubles badminton Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and coach Herry Iman Pierngadi is in conflict. The following is the chronology of the dispute between Kevin and Herry IP.

Kevin and Herry IP’s relationship began to heat up since the Indonesia Open 2022. At that time, Kevin and his partner Marcus Fernaldi Gideon lost to South Korean doubles Kan Ming Hyuk / Seo Seung Je with a score of 14-21, 12-21.

Three months passed, Kevin’s relationship with the trainer who was familiarly called the Fire Dragon did not improve. Until finally there was a war of comments in the media between the two.

Kevin in a special interview with CNNIndonesia.com admitted that his relationship with Herry IP was not going well. The 27-year-old badminton player also confirmed that he could no longer get along with Herry IP.

Kevin ensured that the root of the problem was not only a matter of criticism after appearing at the Indonesia Open 2022 but events long before that.

“I don’t think I can. It means that if I’m off the field, I have no problem even though he doesn’t apologize, I’m okay,” Kevin said.

“But if you ask me to work together again, like I was told to be his subordinate again, I don’t think I can.

Meanwhile, Herry IP admitted that Kevin did not want to be trained by him. Herry IP also told Kevin that he had been practicing separately for the last few years at the Cipayung National Training Center.

“He said Kevin was no longer suitable for training with me. If you don’t feel right, then you don’t have to train with me,” said Herry IP as quoted by Antara.

The Fire Dragon trainer did not want to be bothered by the problem and remained focused on the program at the Cipayung National Training Center. Even though he trained separately with other men’s doubles, Kevin was still paired with Marcus Gideon.

“If you are disappointed, you will be disappointed, but what can you do. Disappointment should not drag on. I also have to think about something else. There is still Fajar Alfian / M Rian Ardianto and there are still young people,” said Herry.
