Real singgah Malaysia




JIKA segalanya berjalan lancar, kelab bola sepak terkemuka Sepanyol, Real Madrid bakal berada di Kuala Lumpur untuk latihan dan aksi persahabatan menentang skuad kebangsaan Malaysia dari 14 hingga 21 Ogos depan.
Real yang bakal dibimbing Jose Mourinho tentunya akan hadir dengan barisan bintang diketuai Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Gonzalo Higuain, Xabi Alonso, Iker Casillas dan Raul untuk diuji kehandalan mereka oleh anak-anak buah K. Rajagobal.
Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad berkata, pihaknya baru saja menerima makluman awal berhubung kehadiran Real itu daripada sebuah syarikat penganjuran acara sukan dari Singapura semalam.
"Menurut surat terbabit, Real akan datang ke sini (Kuala Lumpur) pada 14 hingga 21 Ogos depan. Memandangkan tarikh itu jatuh pada bulan Ramadan, perlawanan itu nanti akan diadakan pada sebelah malam.



"Buat masa ini, belum ada surat rasmi lagi. Tapi kalau jadi, selain berlatih, Real akan mengadakan klinik bola sepak dan dua perlawanan persahabatan, sama seperti ketika kita bertemu Manchester United tahun lalu.
"Segala keputusan mengenai perkara ini akan diputuskan pada 4 Jun depan, sama ada rundingan ini berhasil atau sebaliknya. Tapi FAM bersedia untuk merealisasikannya," katanya pada sidang media di Stadium Bola Sepak Kuala Lumpur, Cheras petang semalam.
Namun apa yang pasti, perlawanan tersebut tidak akan berlangsung di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil yang akan memulakan sesi baik pulih treknya bermula pertengahan Jun ini dan Stadium Shah Alam mungkin menjadi pilihan terbaik kerana ia boleh memuatkan 80,000 penonton.
Azzuddin menambah, selain aksi menentang Real itu, skuad kebangsaan juga akan mengadakan perlawanan persahabatan menentang kelab Liga Kejuaraan England, Cardiff City pada 15 Julai dan skuad B-23 Korea Selatan pada penghujung Julai.

"Saya sudah menerima e-mel secara tidak rasmi daripada Datuk Chan Tien Ghee (pemilik Cardiff) dan beliau memohon aksi persahabatan menentang skuad kebangsaan pada 15 Julai.
"Rundingan untuk membawa skuad B-23 Korea Selatan ke sini pula masih diteruskan. Ia bersempena meraikan 50 tahun hubungan diplomatik Malaysia-Korea Selatan. Empat pemain skuad tersebut beraksi pada Piala Dunia 2010," jelasnya.
Azzuddin berkata, kelab yang akan ditentang skuad kebangsaan pada tiga perlawanan semasa kunjungan selama 10 hari ke Antalya, Turki dari 10 hingga 20 Jun depan masih dalam perbincangan.

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...
