Rajagobal dilanda resah

PERSIAPAN skuad bawah 23 tahun (B-23) negara terjejas.

Semuanya gara-gara masalah kecederaan yang dialami oleh beberapa tonggak utamanya.

Mereka hanya ada masa lima minggu lagi untuk membuat persiapan sebelum memulakan misi pada Sukan SEA XXV Laos.

Perkembangan itu mengundang resah kepada jurulatih, K. Rajagobal. (gambar)

Selepas pemain sayap dari Kedah, Khyril Muhymeen Zambri terpaksa berehat panjang setelah menjalani pembedahan lutut, enam lagi pemain turut mengalami kecederaan ketika ini.

Mereka termasuk Amirulhadi Zainal dan Asraruddin Putra Omar (Selangor), Azmi Muslim dan Bunyamin Umar (UPB-MyTeam), Farderin Kadir (KM Naza) dan Muslim Ahmad (Harimau Muda).

Rajagobal tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan bimbangnya dengan situasi tersebut yang secara langsung menjejaskan persiapan mereka menghadapi dua tugas penting dalam masa terdekat.

Selain membuat persediaan menghadapi Sukan SEA, skuad B-23 negara ini juga akan menentang Uzbekistan pada 14 dan 18 November ini pada pusingan kelayakan Piala Asia 2011.

"Ada dua perkara yang saya risaukan iaitu keletihan serta kecederaan pemain setelah mereka beraksi dalam Piala Malaysia.

"Perlawanan akhir hanya akan berlangsung pada 7 November dan saya ada masa seminggu sahaja untuk membuat persiapan sebelum kita bertemu Uzbekistan.

"Selepas itu, kita ada seminggu lebih saja sebelum beraksi pada Sukan SEA.

"Jadi, saya nak semua orang yang memberi sasaran untuk kita memenangi pingat emas pada Sukan SEA memahami situasi ini.

"Siapa yang tidak mahu menang, tapi kita kena juga lihat faktor sekeliling.

"Apa pun, kami akan tetap mencuba yang terbaik ketika bertemu Uzbekistan dan juga pada Sukan SEA kelak," kata Rajagobal ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.

Bagi perlawanan bertemu Uzbekistan, Rajagobal bakal menyelitkan dua pemain melebihi had umur yang ditetapkan iaitu kapten Selangor, Amri Yahyah dan kapten KL Plus, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah, tetapi memilih untuk tidak memanggil kapten Kelantan, Indra Putra Mahayuddin.

"Saya tahu Indra beraksi cemerlang bersama Kelantan. Tapi saya kena fikir bahawa sasaran utama skuad ini ialah Sukan SEA. Jadi saya perlu beri peluang lebih kepada pemain B-23 pada dua perlawanan bertemu Uzbekistan.

"Kita juga mungkin mengadakan satu perlawanan persahabatan menentang Indonesia pada 9 November sebelum turun menentang Uzbekistan," katanya yang akan memanggil semula pertahanan Kelantan, Ahmad Azlan Zainal, 23, bagi mengisi tempat Muslim yang cedera. - KOSMO

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...

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...
