Berlatih dengan QPR sudah bagus

KUALA LUMPUR - Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) menganggap langkah membawa pemain kebangsaan berlatih dengan kelab Liga Perdana Inggeris, Queens Park Rangers (QPR) oleh pemilik kelab itu merupakan satu usaha yang positif.

Menurut Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad, (gambar) walaupun pemain negara tidak dapat beraksi dalam liga tersebut tetapi masih banyak cara lain untuk pemain kebangsaan mendapat kelebihan atas pembelian QPR oleh syarikat Malaysia, Tune Sports Sdn. Bhd.

"Kita kena sedar bahawa untuk beraksi di EPL adalah sesuatu yang mustahil kerana undang-undang yang ditetapkan oleh Persatuan Bola Sepak England (FA) hanya membenarkan pemain dari negara yang menduduki ranking dunia 70 ke bawah sahaja untuk bermain di sana," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia, semalam.

Jelasnya, walaupun tidak dapat beraksi tetapi pemain kebangsaan masih mempunyai manfaat di atas pembelian syarikat Malaysia ke atas kelab tersebut, misalnya mengadakan kem latihan di sana.
"Kita harus akur walaupun menjadi pemilik kelab tetapi kita tidak boleh melanggar undang-undang yang ditetapkan oleh FA, jadi fokus utama yang lebih realistik adalah menjalani ujian (trial) ataupun berlatih bersama QPR sahaja,'' ujarnya.

Sementara itu, pengurus peribadi Safee Sali, Zakaria Ab. Rahim berkata, terdapat dua alasan yang hampir mustahil untuk menyaksikan Safee muncul sebagai pemain bola sepak Malaysia yang bergaji di EPL iaitu syarat ketat permit kerja bagi warga bukan England dan ranking dunia skuad kebangsaan yang jauh daripada senarai 100 ke bawah.

"Saya dapati Thaksin (Shinawatra, bekas Perdana Menteri Thailand yang pernah beli Manchester City pada 2007) pun tidak mampu menempatkan tiga pemain negaranya (Suree Sukha, Kiatprawut Saiwaew dan Teerasil Dangda) dalam pasukan utama The Citizens.

''Mereka tidak pernah bermain langsung dan ia mungkin kerana kuasa mutlak pengurus pasukan (ketika itu, Sven-Goran Eriksson) yang lebih memahami percaturan permainan," jelasnya.

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...

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 ...
