Skuad Negara Perlu Kekal Rentak Serangan Esok - Raja Ahmad Zainuddin

IPOH, 28 Dis (Bernama) -- Pasukan bola sepak negara yang menewaskan pasukan negara jiran Indonesia 3-0 Ahad lepas perlu mengekalkan rentak menyerang dalam perlawanan akhir kedua Piala Suzuki AFF 2010, yang akan berlangsung di Stadium Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta Rabu.

Anggota Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Seri Raja Ahmad Zainuddin berkata skuad 'Harimau Malaya' bakal berhadapan serangan bertali arus skuad 'Garuda' dalam perlawanan yang dijangka sengit.

"Saya percaya skuad negara mempunyai harapan besar memastikan misi berjaya tetapi harus mengekalkan prestasi sepanjang 90 minit perlawanan. Perlawanan yang dimenangi di tempat sendiri sebelum ini berbeza dengan tempat lawan. Semua pemain harus sedar permainan di tempat lawan adalah berbeza dan mereka harus memastikan kesihatan mental dan fizikal berada di tahap terbaik," katanya kepada Bernama di sini Selasa.

Raja Ahmad, yang juga bekas Naib Presiden FAM, berkata skuad negara tidak seharusnya berasa selesa dengan kelebihan tiga gol yang diraih menerusi perlawanan akhir pertama Ahad lepas.

"Jangan letakkan pasukan dalam keadaan selesa kerana kita pernah ditewaskan 1-5 sebelum ini... terlalu banyak implikasi akan timbul ketika bermain di tempat lawan," katanya.

Raja Ahmad berkata seluruh rakyat Malaysia menunggu kehadiran piala itu dengan penuh harapan dan jika memenanginya maka ia pertama kali dibawa ke Malaysia selaku juara.

"Ini merupakan kali kedua pasukan negara layak ke perlawanan akhir. Saya menyeru warganegara Malaysia yang tinggal di sekitar Jakarta dan Bandung untuk turun memberi sokongan kepada pasukan negara esok," katanya.

Semangat kesukanan yang ditunjukkan rakyat Indonesia semasa perlawanan akhir pertama di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil wajar dicontohi masyarakat Malaysia di sana, katanya.

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 ...
