Malaysia kejutkan Korea Selatan




SKUAD bola sepak kebangsaan membuktikan mereka kini wajar untuk terus digeruni apabila berjaya mengejutkan skuad Olimpik Korea Selatan 1-0 pada aksi persahabatan di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil petang semalam.

Gol kemenangan Malaysia dijaringkan oleh pemain tengah Selangor, Safiq Rahim pada awal separuh masa kedua.

Perlawanan yang diadili pengadil ke Piala Dunia 2010, Subkhiddin Salleh itu bermula dalam keadaan hujan renyai sambil disaksikan 5,000 penonton kedua- dua negara.

Malaysia yang dibarisi pemain B-23 kecuali tiga pemain lebih umur, Sharbinee Allawee Ramli, S. Kunalan dan Norshahrul Idlan Talaha berjaya mengimbangi kekuatan lawan yang dibarisi pemain B-21 pada separuh masa pertama.

Seawal minit keempat, Malaysia sudah menguji gawang Korea Selatan tetapi percubaan Nor- shahrul hasil hantaran Zaquan Adha Radzak dari sebelah kanan sedikit sipi.

Gawang Malaysia cemas seketika pada minit ke-10 apabila tandukan penyerang Korea Sela- tan, Park Hee-seong berpunca daripada sepakan sudut berjaya menggegarkan palang gol ketika Sharbinee sudah tertewas.

Selang dua minit kemudian, Malaysia sekali lagi mengancam, kali ini menerusi pemain sayap kanan, Ahmad Fakri Saarani yang memperdayakan seorang pertahanan Korea Selatan sebe- lum rembatannya tepat ke daka- pan Lee Bum-soo.

Selepas aksi rancak pada awal permainan itu, kedua-dua pasukan sekadar bertukar serangan tanpa sebarang gerakan bahaya untuk menghasilkan gol.

Namun pada minit ke-40, Korea Selatan hampir memecah kebuntuan tetapi sepakan percuma pemain pertahanan, Park Hyung -Jin sekadar menggegar palang.

Sebaik babak kedua bermula, jurulatih kebangsaan, K. Rajago- bal tidak melakukan sebarang pertukaran dan Malaysia hanya memerlukan lima minit untuk mendahului lawan.

SAFIQ (dua dari kanan) menjaringkan gol kemenangan Malaysia pada aksi persahabatan menentang Korea Selatan semalam.


Gol pertama Malaysia diperoleh pada minit ke-50 menerusi rembatan Safiq selepas sepakan percuma yang diambilnya sebelum itu gagal dikeluarkan dari kawasan bahaya oleh pertahanan Korea Selatan.

Korea Selatan yang seakan tersentak dengan jaringan itu mula bangkit mengatur serangan tetapi masih gagal menembusi kekebalan benteng pertaha- nan yang diterajui ketua pasukan, Aidil Zafuan Radzak, Nasriq Baharom, Sabre Mat Abu dan Asraruddin Putra Omar.

Rajagobal melakukan enam pertukaran dengan memasukkan Baddrol Bakhtiar, Khyril Muhymeen Zambri, Muslim Ahmad, K. Gurusamy, Ahmad Shakir Md. Ali dan Azmi Muslim menggantikan Norshahrul, Fakri, Nasriq, Amar Rohidan, S. Kunanlan dan Asraruddin.

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 ...
