00:00Meanwhile, the head of the Cannons-Jonasson National Assault Team
00:04insisted that it was unfair for the netizens to compare the efforts of
00:08Leong Jun Hao and Lee Zijia in the action throughout England.
00:11Yes, the fight for the Super 1000 title is Jun Hao's first fight.
00:15Unlike Zijia, who once won the title in 2021,
00:20Zijia is a former Olympic bronze medalist.
00:23In the action, Jun Hao needs to be calmer and continue his aggressive play
00:28with the variation of the punch to confuse Jonathan Christie
00:31in the first round throughout England.
00:59I wouldn't go and compare.
01:01I think we need to focus on each and every match for Jun Hao
01:08and then take it step by step.
01:10For me, it's a development path before we start to make any kind of comparison
01:15to one that has achieved as much as Lee Zijia already has.
01:22I think he's able to play quite a few styles.
01:25I think when we can get the pace up and be an aggressive playing style,
01:30it suits him really well.
01:32And he's shown in some matches that he's also able to really do
01:38the long rally and staying patient.
01:41But it's a borderline thing all the time.
01:43We have to be able to adjust and make changes sometimes
01:47actually before our opponent does.
01:49So very much of it depends on who we are playing.
01:54The last time Jun Hao and Christie met was at the Masters in Jepung
01:58where Jun Hao won in the Rubber Games
02:01as well as setting the current match record
02:03with Jun Hao 2-1.
02:07So what else, guys? Don't miss out, okay?
