After easing into the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Masters, national No.1 men's doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik said the world number one ranking is just a number to them and they prefer to win more titles over the elusive No. 1 spot.
They beat Taiwan's Yang Po-han-Liu Kuang-heng 21-13, 21-16 in the second round to set up a clash with Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard of Denmark in the quarter-final.

00:00Thank you
00:30If you hope that I can do it, it will be better for you
00:36So, how do you feel?
00:38I feel like we are not thinking about who is
00:42If you look like this, it must be better
00:45There are people who are entering the quarter
00:47At least, we have to secure one spot in Sierra Leone
00:50But that's why we have to look at them
00:52We will wait for them to see who is the opponent
00:58So far, you won the title
01:01How is your physical condition, the focus, mental and all that?
01:06Are you feeling tired?
01:08Okay, this is something I feel like
01:11After back-to-back tournament, we must be tired
01:14I admit that we must be tired
01:16The home crowd here is also feeling pressure
01:19But I think, as I said in the morning
01:22We are being mental, we are trying to figure out
01:26We are trying to do another way to solve it
01:33I think
01:34So, we are not 100% in the mood for playing
01:38So, it's just about figuring out how to play
01:43And, I think
01:45Thank you
01:46I was wondering, today is the role number three
01:48We are going to know how you perform good at this
01:53The gap with you and the other two's at the top
01:57Will you be closer?
01:58So, are you planning?
02:00Maybe not now
02:01But within a short period of time
02:04Can you try to improve your world ranking
02:06To be slowly to top two?
02:08And maybe role number one?
02:10We hope that we can improve
02:14But the ranking is only one small advantage
02:21It's not a very important game in the main double and main sector
02:29So, we are more focused on the game
02:32If you play well, you will go up automatically
02:35We've always been there
02:38We're not only one number one, but we hope we can maintain
02:43But it's not the main target
02:46So, because you are in a good form
02:49You won the title at Asian Championship
02:51Last group at Tadan
02:53Are you hoping to get the one number one or want to catch title?
02:58Because before we know you guys are really hard to get title
03:01So, if you have the option, which one do you prefer?
03:04If you have the option, I feel the title
03:07The ranking is only one number for us
03:10Title is more important than the option that we want
03:16Okay, thank you
03:18Thank you
03:19You're all the best
03:20Thank you
03:21Thank you
03:22Thank you
03:23Thank you
03:26Thank you
03:29Thank you
03:30Thank you
03:35Thank you
03:36To get up, thank you
