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.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
