ABDUL Hadi (kiri) cuba melepasi kawalan pemain Myanmar dalam perlawanan persahabatan di Kota Bharu, kelmarin.
PENYERANG Harimau Malaya, Abdul Hadi Yahya mahu kemenangan membenam Myanmar 2-0 dalam aksi persahabatan di Kota Bharu kelmarin, dijadikan ‘noktah terakhir’ kepada desas-desus yang mengatakan pemain kebangsaan terbabit dengan isu rasuah.
Sambil mengharapkan skuad negara tidak lagi dikaitkan dengan perkara ‘jijik’itu, penyerang Terengganu itu turut menyimpan hasrat supaya semangat juang rakan-rakannya yang lain tidak terganggu bagi meneruskan misi lebih mencabar terutama menghadapi kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 menentang Taiwan, hujung bulan ini.
“Puncanya mungkin daripada dua pasukan yang beraksi dalam Piala Presiden dan isu itu terus merebak hingga mengaitkan dengan pemain pasukan kebangsaan. Saya percaya rakan-rakan dalam skuad kebangsaan tidak terbabit dengan perkara ini.
“Saya sebenarnya kecewa dengan isu itu kerana saya percaya 100 peratus pemain kebangsaan tidak terbabit dengan gejala tidak bermoral itu. Saya harap dengan kemenangan ini, tiada lagi cakap-cakap berkenaan isu itu kerana ia sedikit sebanyak mengganggu fikiran pemain,” katanya yang diberi kepercayaan buat kali kedua menyarung jersi kebangsaan selepas bertemu Hong Kong, awal bulan lalu.
Pemain 26 tahun itu berkata, biarpun nasibnya untuk menyertai skuad kebangsaan menghadapi kelayakan Piala Dunia masih samar, dia berjanji untuk menampilkan persembahan terbaiknya andai diberi kepercayaan ketua jurulatih kebangsaan, Datuk K Rajagobal.
“Saya dipanggil untuk dinilai prestasi dan sudah tentu jika diberi peluang, saya akan lakukan yang terbaik untuk pasukan negara,” katanya yang turut mengidamkan aksi berdepan gergasi Inggeris - Liverpool, Chelsea dan Arsenal - yang bertandang ke Malaysia bulan depan.
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 ...
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...
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 ...
