Pullela Gopichand is good, but we will find a better coach for PV Sindhu: Telangana deputy CM Mohammed Mahmood Ali
In a shocking
statement, Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed
Mahmood Ali has said that even
though Pullela Gopichand was a very good coach, the government
will find a better coach for ace shuttler PV Sindhu. Speaking to CNN News18,
Ali praised Gopichand but said that the government will find a better coach to
train the 21-year-old, who scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman
to bag a Silver medal at Olympics 2016.
"The entire country is proud
of her. No player could ever reach that level. Thus we are very happy that our
daughter from Telangana has earned a name across the world. In future, we will
find a better coach for Sindhu. Her current coach is also very good, but we
will find a coach for her so that she wins a Gold medal next time," he
told the channel.
Not to forget, Saina Nehwal and
Sindhu, who are two out of India's five women medalists at the Olympics, were
trained at Pullela Gopichand's academy in Hyderabad under his watchful eyes.
Gopichand
himself is one of the most respected figures in Indian sports fraternity and
the statement is shocking to say the least as the entire country is lauding him
for what Sindhu achieved at Rio Olympics 2016.
Kidambi Srikanth, another
shuttler from Gopichand's academy, too put a brilliant show in Rio where he was
defeated by five-time World Champion Lin Dan in quarter-finals.
