Congak formula ledak jaringan


PEMAIN skuad Olimpik giat menjalani latihan di padang Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) semalam walaupun hanya baru tiba dari Lebanon awal petang semalam. Skuad negara akan menjadi tuan rumah untuk perlawanan timbal balik Kelayakan Olimpik menentang Lebanon di Stadium Nasional, esok. - UTUSAN/ ASWAD YAHYA

SEPANG - Ketumpulan jentera serangan memaksa jurulatih skuad Olimpik negara, Ong Kim Swee memikirkan strategi baru untuk meraih kemenangan apabila bertemu Lebanon pada perlawanan timbal balik pusingan kedua Kelayakan Olimpik di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil esok.

"Saya lihat barisan hadapan dan pertahanan perlu diubah strateginya, kerana kita perlukan gol untuk layak ke saingan seterusnya. Namun, saya tidak tukar corak permainan keseluruhannya.

"Apa yang paling penting ialah disiplin pemain perlu dijaga kerana walaupun kita menyerang, pada masa yang sama kita juga perlu bertahan. Ia perancangan penting yang saya akan buat pada latihan sebelum perlawanan bermula," katanya.
Skuad Olimpik Malaysia tiba dari Lebanon di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA), semalam.

Pada perlawanan di Stadium Sports City, Beirut Ahad lepas, Malaysia hanya seri tanpa jaringan dengan Lebanon.

Kim Swee berkata, perlawanan menentang Lebanon di tempat sendiri esok penting kerana ia akan menjadi bonus untuk pasukan negara melangkah ke perlawanan pusingan ketiga sekiranya menang.
Mengenai barisan penyerang yang gagal meledak gol pada perlawanan di Beirut, serta kalah dalam dua perlawanan persahabatan terdahulu, beliau berkata, mereka masih mencari rentak permainan.

Dalam perlawanan persahabatan menentang Kemboja 7 Jun lepas, skuad negara dikejutkan dengan kekalahan 0-1 dan terus menerima kekalahan 0-4 ketika menentang Qatar pada 13 Jun.
Beliau berharap perlawanan di halaman sendiri esok akan memberi kelebihan kepada pasukan negara menerusi sokongan padu para penyokong.

"Ini merupakan satu ujian di mana penyerang-penyerang saya telah dapat mencipta peluang gol, namun masih buntu mencipta sentuhan terakhir.
"Saya percaya bermain di tempat sendiri serta sokongan padu peminat negara mampu membuatkan mereka lebih fokus untuk mencari kemenangan," kata Kim Swee.

Beliau juga tidak bimbang dengan kecederaan dua pemain hadapan iaitu Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor yang cedera di dada dan Mohamad Fandi Othman yang cedera di betis ketika bermain di Beirut.
"Nasib baik kecederaan mereka tidak serius dan saya harap mereka mampu beraksi sebelum sepak mula Khamis ini," katanya. - Bernama

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so.

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...
