Fairuzizuan, Zakry tidak serasi, tiada kesefahaman


KUALA LUMPUR - Beregu No. 2 negara, Mohd. Fairuzizuan Tazari mendedahkan betapa dia dan pasangannya, Mohd. Zakry Abdul Latif berdepan masalah besar menjelang Kejohanan Badminton Dunia di India, bulan depan - tiada sefahaman dan keserasian.

Akui Fairuzizuan, kombinasi yang sudah lebih 2 tahun dibentuk itu kini berdepan krisis yang perlu diatasi segera sebelum berlepas ke Hyderabad, Sabtu depan.

Bagaimanapun dia menegaskan, ia bukan masalah peribadi, cuma krisis permainan yang sehingga kini masing-masing tidak tahu di mana puncanya.

"Saya sedar bahawa kami tiada sefahaman dan keserasian setiap kali beraksi, kami seperti membuat hal masing-masing apabila berada di atas gelanggang, Zakry dengan permainannya dan saya dengan permainan saya.

"Saya dan Zakry sudah menyedari perkara ini, malah jurulatih kami (Rexy Mainaky) juga telah menyuarakan kebimbangan mengenainya, ia perlu diatasi sebelum kami berlepas ke India.

"Saya dan Zakry bersetuju untuk berbincang dari hati ke hati Sabtu ini. Kami mahu mencari penyelesaian kepada masalah yang kami sendiri tidak tahu apa puncanya,'' akui Fairuzizuan semalam.

Fairuzizuan, 26, bagaimanapun menegaskan bahawa kepincangan yang melanda gandingannya dan Zakry sama sekali tidak akan mendorong ia dipecahkan.

Tegasnya, perpecahan tidak mungkin berlaku dengan mengambil kira faktor usia, malah dia sebolehnya mahu mempertahankan gandingan bersama Zakry sehingga ke akhir karier.

Malah, Fairuzizuan juga menegaskan bahawa peranan lebih besar yang terpaksa dipikul dengan berpasangan bersama Wong Pei Tty dalam acara beregu campuran juga bukan punca kemerosotan prestasinya bersama Zakry.

Kepincangan Fairuzizuan-Zakry semakin meruncing pada Mini Olimpik yang berakhir semalam, apabila mereka tumpas 18-21, 14-21 di tangan beregu remaja, Goh Wei Shem-Vountus Indra Mawan di suku akhir.

Mengulas mengenai sasarannya pada Kejohanan Dunia di Hyderabad, 10-16 Ogos ini, Fairuzizuan berkata, misi awal adalah melepasi halangan juara Olimpik dan dunia, Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan yang dijangka ditemui di suku akhir.

"Kami kalah kepada mereka dalam pertemuan terakhir di Terbuka Perancis tahun lalu, tetapi pasangan ini juga tidak menunjukkan permainan yang baik tahun ini," katanya.

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...
