Kekuatan mental bakal jadi penentu


REXY (kiri) sekali lagi menyandarkan harapan kepada Boon Heong (tengah) dan Kien Keat bagi memburu gelaran Seluruh England.


PERSEDIAAN rapi telah diatur dan kini, hanya situasi sewaktu perlawanan sahaja yang bakal menjadi penentu.

Menurut ketua jurulatih beregu negara, Rexy Mainaky, berdasarkan prestasi semasa, semua pemain berada pada keadaan terbaik menjelang Kejohanan Badminton Seluruh England, Mac depan.

Tambahnya, melihatkan situasi tersebut, pastinya barisan negara berpeluang untuk merangkul gelaran pada kejohanan paling berprestij di dunia itu.

"Kami telah menyediakan pelan persediaan yang cukup baik buat semua pemain negara," kata Rexy semalam.

"Saya boleh katakan, persediaan pemain pada ketika ini memang sempurna dan semua pemain memiliki masa yang mencukupi untuk memastikan mereka berada pada prestasi terbaik menjelang Seluruh England.

"Malah bagi memastikan mereka benar-benar bersedia dan bagi mengelakkan sebarang kecederaan, semua pemain beregu negara tidak beraksi pada Terbuka Korea lalu.

"Namun, sehebat mana sekalipun persediaan kita, kemenangan lebih banyak bergantung kepada situasi pemain sewaktu perlawanan.

"Saya paling bimbang jika ada pemain yang mengalami masalah kesihatan sewaktu di sana kelak (England)."

Sementara itu, semua pemain badminton negara akan menyertai kem bina semangat selama empat hari di Kuching bermula hari ini.

Menurut Rexy, kem tersebut amat penting dalam memastikan pemain negara bersedia dari segi mental sebelum beraksi pada Seluruh England.

"Kekuatan mental amat penting buat semua pemain negara," kata Rexy.

"Kadangkala kekuatan mental memainkan peranan yang penting dalam perlawanan terutama dalam situasi genting dan mencabar."

Bekas juara Seluruh England 2007, Koo Kien Keat- Tan Boon Heong akan mengetuai cabaran negara pada kejohanan yang akan diadakan bermula 3 hingga 8 Mac selain Mohd. Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd. Fairuzizuan Tazari dan beregu wanita No. 1 dunia, Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
