Syria uji anak didik Rajagobal malam ini


SKUAD emas bimbingan K Rajagobal bakal diuji menentang Syria dalam perlawanan persahabatan di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil, malam ini sebagai persediaan sebelum berdepan Emeriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) bagi pusingan kelayakan Piala Asia, 6 Januari ini.




Seperti kelaziman yang dilakukan jurulatih kebangsaan itu, semua 23 pemain bakal diuji bagi menentukan 18 pemain yang layak membawa cabaran negara ketika pertemuan dengan UAE nanti.

“Pertukaran pemain mungkin banyak akan berlaku dalam perlawanan malam esok (ini) kerana saya akan menilai sejauh mana kemampuan setiap pemain. Namun pemain senior, Amri Yahyah mungkin tidak beraksi ekoran kecederaan lutut kanannya yang masih belum pulih,” kata Rajagobal.




Menurut Rajagobal, Amri akan terus diberi peluang membuktikan kecergasannya sehingga barisan 18 pemain dinamakan sebelum skuad kebangsaan berlepas ke UAE pada Isnin ini.

“Peluang Amri agak samar untuk berdepan UAE, namun tiada apa yang perlu dirisaukan kerana saya yakin pemain lain bersedia menghadapi segala situasi yang mendatang. Mereka sudahpun membuktikannya ketika di Sukan Sea Laos baru-baru ini.”

Syria yang menduduki ranking ke-91 dunia dilihat sebagai ujian yang tidak kurang hebatnya buat skuad kebangsaan, namun Rajagobal mempunyai misi tersendiri dalam impiannya membentuk sebuah pasukan yang mantap.
“Saya yakin semua tahu peluang skuad kebangsaan untuk beraksi dalam Piala Asia adalah tipis, namun ada sesuatu yang saya mahu mereka buktikan sekurang-kurangnya mendapat penghormatan dari lawan dan banyak pengalaman yang boleh mereka perolehi.” BH

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 ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
