Ikrar Safee

“TAK perlu risau saya akan sihat semula dan semangat saya tetap kuat untuk memastikan Malaysia layak. Itu kata-kata semangat penyerang berbisa negara, Mohd Safee Sali yang tidak sabar untuk membuat perhitungan dengan Singapura Khamis ini meskipun badannya kini sedikit lemah kerana mengalami demam selsema.
Safee, 27, menghidupkan peluang Malaysia untuk meneruskan cabaran di pusingan kedua kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 dengan meledak dua gol ketika tewas 5-3 kepada Singapura dalam aksi pertama di Stadium Jalan Besar Sabtu lalu.

Namun sedikit membimbangkan apabila penyerang kelab Indonesia, Pelita Jaya FC itu tidak menjalani sesi latihan bersama Harimau Malaya kendalian Datuk K Rajagobal semalam kerana diminta berehat akibat demam.
Selain Safee, pemain sayap Mohd Amirulhadi Zainal turut mengalami nasib yang sama dan dilihat hanya menjalani latihan ringan di gimnasium Wisma FAM Kelana Jaya.

Safee yang ditemui Arena Metro berharap tahap kesihatannya akan pulih seperti biasa menjelang perlawanan di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil kerana misinya bersama Harimau Malaya masih belum selesai.

“Saya sudah berjumpa dengan doktor dan mengambil sedikit ubat, Insya Allah saya akan sihat dan dapat bermain Khamis ini. Apa yang terjadi saya tetap mahu bermain menentang Singapura.

“Misi untuk menang dengan Singapura bukan mustahil kerana kita memiliki rekod baik di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil. Saya yakin kita sebenarnya boleh menang lebih daripada dua gol jika semua pemain memberikan aksi terbaik,” katanya.

Ketinggalan 5-3 selepas perlawanan pertama, Malaysia hanya memerlukan kemenangan sekurang-kurangnya dua gol tanpa bolos untuk mengikat agregat.

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...
