Cabaran skuad B-21 negara bermula


AZZUDDIN (berdiri, tengah) bergambar bersama skuad Bawah 21 negara pada sidang media di Kelana Jaya semalam.


MISI skuad bawah 21 tahun (B-21) negara bermula apabila mereka dijadual berlepas ke Slovakia awal pagi esok bagi memulakan saingan Liga Divisyen Dua Slovakia, Liga 1.
Jika sebelum ini timbul pelbagai spekulasi mengenai pemergian skuad tersebut ke Slovakia, kini segala-galanya telah terjawab.

Sepanjang tiga bulan berada di Slova- kia, skuad kendalian Mohd. Azraai Khor Abdullah itu dijadual mengharungi 14 perlawanan iaitu tujuh perlawanan di tempat lawan manakala baki tujuh lagi di gelanggang sendiri.

Skuad negara akan menjadikan Stadium Vion sebagai gelanggang rasmi mereka sepanjang kempen liga tersebut berlangsung yang dijangka tamat pada penghujung Mei depan.


Bagaimanapun, Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad berkata, kese- mua perlawanan yang dihadapi skuad muda negara itu tidak akan dikira mata.

"Adalah sukar bagi pihak Persatuan Bola Sepak (FA) Slovakia untuk mengira mata skuad negara memandangkan saingan liga Slovakia telah pun bermula dan ia sudah pun memasuki pusingan kedua.
"Namun, lawan mereka nanti tetap dikira mata sekiranya mereka berjaya menewaskan skuad negara.
"Jadi tidak timbul sebarang isu mengenai pemergian skuad negara ke Slovakia.

"Lawan mereka nanti pastinya mempamerkan aksi sebenar bagi mengutip mata dan ini merupakan satu pendeda- han yang cukup baik bagi skuad muda negara," jelas Azzuddin.

Walaupun aksi skuad negara nanti tidak akan dikira mata, ganjaran tetap menanti pemain-pemain muda tersebut sekiranya mereka mencatatkan keputu- san membanggakan sehingga tamat saingan liga tersebut.
"Tidak cukup dengan itu, FAM sendiri turut menyediakan habuan buat skuad Harimau Muda A ini nanti tetapi semua itu masih dalam perbincangan," kata Az- zuddin.

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...

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 ...
