Jangan ulang lagi - Rajagobal


SHARBINEE (kiri) memperkatakan sesuatu kepada rakan sepasukan lain pada aksi menentang Singapura di Stadium Jalan Besar malam kelmarin. Malaysia tewas 3-5.

SINGAPURA - Jurulatih kebangsaan, Datuk K. Rajagobal mahu benteng pertahanan tidak mengulangi lagi kesilapan-kesilapan mudah sehingga dibolosi lima gol malam kelmarin.
Meskipun tewas 3-5 kepada Singapura pada aksi pertama pusingan kedua Kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 di Stadium Jalan Besar, di sini malam kelmarin, Rajagobal tetap yakin Malaysia akan mara ke pusingan ketiga.
"Kita beri Singapura gol-gol mudah hasil kesilapan sendiri. Kita tak boleh buat begini lagi pada aksi kedua nanti. Kita perlu bangkit untuk menang sekurang-kurangnya dua gol.

"Tapi kita perlu sentiasa positif. Dalam tiga atau empat hari ini, saya akan fikir sesuatu untuk aksi kedua nanti dan tetap yakin kita akan layak," kata Rajagobal pada sidang media selepas perlawanan malam kelmarin.
Kelonggaran benteng pertahanan gandingan Muslim Ahmad, Fadhli Shas, Mahali Jasuli dan Asraruddin Putra Omar menyebabkan gawang Sharbinee Allawee Ramli bolos empat kali pada babak pertama dan satu lagi pada babak kedua.

Khidmat Aidil Zafuan Radzak yang diketepikan akibat kecederaan buku lali pasti ditagih pada aksi kedua di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil pada Khamis ini sambil 'tangan emas' Khairul Fahmi Che Mat mungkin kembali menjadi harapan.

Namun Rajagobal perlu mencari pengganti sesuai apabila kapten, Safiq Rahim tidak dapat beraksi akibat kad merah diterimanya pada minit ke-49 selepas melakukan terjahan keras terhadap Harris Harun.
"Safiq seorang pemain tengah yang cukup berpengaruh. Ketiadaannya memaksa saya mencari pengganti sesuai. Saya perlu positif, yakin dan percaya dengan pemain lain yang ada," ujar Rajagobal.

Berkemungkinan Ismail Faruqi Ashari yang diletakkan sebagai penyerang kedua di belakang Safee Sali akan mengisi tempat Safiq untuk bergandingan dengan Amar Rohidan di bahagian tengah.
Atau Rajagobal mungkin meletakkan Baddrol Bakhtiar memandangkan dua lagi pemain yang ada, Shakir Shaari dan K. Gurusamy lebih berperanan sebagai pemain tengah bertahan seperti Amar.

"Saya tagih kehadiran 90,000 penyokong Malaysia kerana ia bakal memberi motivasi dan semangat kepada pemain kita di Bukit Jalil nanti. Kita kena yakin bahawa kita mampu menang di laman sendiri," tegas Rajagobal.

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...
