Penantian 14 tahun berakhir


PEMAIN Malaysia meraikan kejayaan muncul juara Piala Suzuki AFF 2010 buat kali pertama selepas menang dengan agregat 4-2 ke atas Indonesia di Stadium Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta malam tadi.


JAKARTA - Setelah menanti selama 14 tahun, Malaysia akhirnya berjaya muncul juara Kejohanan Bola Sepak Piala Suzuki AFF 2010 menerusi agregat 4-2.

Biarpun tewas 1-2 kepada Indonesia pada final kedua di Stadium Utama Gelora Bung Karno di sini malam tadi, Malaysia telah menang 3-0 pada final pertama di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil, Ahad lalu.

Kejuaraan tersebut mengesahkan status Malaysia sebagai raja bola sepak Asia Tenggara setelah saingan peringkat bawah 23 tahun iaitu Sukan SEA turut dijuarai Malaysia di Laos pada 2009.

Kecemerlangan penjaga gol kebangsaan, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat menyelamatkan sepakan penalti kapten Indonesia, Firman Utina pada separuh masa pertama serta jaringan Mohd. Safee Mohd. Sali pada awal babak kedua menjadi detik pengubah perlawanan malam tadi.

Isu laser yang sering diperbesarkan Indonesia sebelum ini akhirnya terpalit kepada mereka sendiri apabila Khairul Fahmi tiga kali diganggu pancaran laser ke arah mukanya.

Ia bermula apabila Indonesia memperoleh sepakan sudut pertama pada minit kelapan diikuti ketika sepakan percuma pada minit ke-12 dan satu lagi sepakan sudut seminit kemudian.

Namun, Khairul Fahmi membuktikan dirinya tidak selembik penjaga gol Indonesia, Markus Harison yang 'alah' dengan pancaran laser ketika aksi final pertama di Kuala Lumpur, Ahad lalu.

Permainan hampir berubah menjadi milik Indonesia apabila mereka dihadiahkan sepakan penalti pada minit ke-18 setelah bola terkena tangan Sabre Mat Abu ketika berlaku pergelutan di depan pintu gol.

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 ...
