Aidil tahu cara sekat Duric


Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak

PETALING JAYA - Kuda tua Singapura, Aleksandar Duric, yang meledak dua gol ketika pasukan itu menang 5-3 ke atas Malaysia, Sabtu lalu bukan asing buat pertahanan kental negara, Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak.
Aidil pernah bersemuka dengan pemain import Singapura itu pada perlawanan di Stadium Majlis Bandar Raya Petaling Jaya pada 29 November 2008, yang merupakan pertemuan terakhir Singapura dan Malaysia, sebelum perlawanan Kelayakan Piala Dunia di republik itu Sabtu lalu yang memihak Singapura.

"Berdasarkan pertemuan sebelum ini, kelebihan dan kekurangan yang dimiliki oleh Duric, memang saya ketahui.

"Dia seorang penyerang yang mempunyai kekuatan fizikal, memang agak sukar untuk mengawalnya tetapi dia juga ada kelemahan yang boleh kita ambil kesempatan, khususnya faktor kepantasan.

"Jika saya diturunkan dalam perlawanan Khamis ini, saya akan cuba sebaik mungkin mengemudi benteng pertahanan negara daripada dibolosi," katanya ketika ditemui di Wisma FAM, semalam.
Dalam perlawanan persahabatan yang diadakan tiga tahun lalu itu, Duric menjaringkan kedua-dua gol Singapura pada babak pertama sebelum Malaysia bangkit menerusi jaringan Mohd. Amirul Hadi Zainal dan Mohd. Hardi Jaafar.

Aidil Zafuan berkemungkinan akan diturunkan pada pertemuan esok, selepas pulih sepenuhnya daripada kecederaan buku lali.
Dia juga berharap kesilapan yang dilakukan oleh barisan pertahanan pada perlawanan pertama Sabtu lalu, tidak berulang.

"Pertahanan kita tidak berapa konsisten dan agak kelam kabut yang menjadi faktor Singapura mudah meledak gol terutama Duric.

"Saya harap pertahanan lebih menekankan komunikasi atas padang bagi mengurangkan kesilapan pada aksi di Stadium Nasional nanti," 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...

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...
