SYABAS...Safee dikerumuni rakan dan pegawai pasukan selepas menjaringkan gol ketiga Malaysia di Stadium Jalan Besar. 

MALAYSIA tidak mempunyai pilihan lain selain menggempur habis-habisan kubu Singapura bagi memadam kelebihan skuad Singa yang kini berbangga dengan kemenangan 5-3 pada aksi pertama pusingan kedua kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 kelmarin.
Dan tugas itu bukan mustahil untuk dilaksanakan berdasarkan kemampuan jentera serangan yang kembali menemui sentuhan penyudah selepas tumpul dalam beberapa perlawanan sebelum ini.

Pada aksi di Stadium Jalan Besar kelmarin, peledak sensasi Mohd Safee Sali kembali menggegar gawang dengan menyumbat dua gol pada setiap babak untuk menamatkan kemarau jaringan di peringkat antarabangsa selepas muncul penjaring terbanyak Piala Suzuki AFF Disember lalu.
Manakala penjaring terbanyak Liga Super, Abdul Hadi Yahya pula berjaya menjaringkan gol pembakar semangat dalam perlawanan itu meskipun sekadar beraksi sebagai pemain gantian.

“Saya berpuas hati dengan prestasi sendiri kerana dapat membantu menyumbang sesuatu kepada pasukan walaupun dalam tempoh yang singkat,” kata Abdul Hadi yang menjaringkan gol kedua di peringkat antarabangsa selepas membantu Malaysia seri 1-1 dalam aksi persahabatan dengan Hong Kong Jun lalu.

Menurut penyerang Terengganu itu, moral pemain tidak terjejas sebaliknya bersedia untuk memastikan kemenangan pada pertembungan penuh getir sekali lagi dengan Singapura di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil Khamis ini.

“Kita mungkin leka dan terlalu berhati-hati ketika bermain di tempat lawan tapi kali ini kita kena melancarkan serangan untuk mendapatkan gol. Insya Allah saya yakin peluang kita masih ada untuk layak ke peringkat seterusnya,” kata Abdul Hadi.

Malaysia boleh melayakkan diri ke pusingan ketiga peringkat kumpulan kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 jika sekurang-kurangnya mencatat kemenangan 2-0 ke atas Singapura untuk mengikat agregat 5-5 dan mara menerusi kelebihan gol di tempat lawan.

Pada pusingan pertama sebelum ini, skuad kendalian Datuk K Rajagobal mengecewakan Taiwan hasil kelebihan gol di tempat lawan selepas kedua-dua pasukan terikat agregat 4-4.

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...
