Kapten negara terima keputusan Rajagobal tapi janji untuk kembali ke skuad
KAPTEN pasukan kebangsaan, Safiq Rahim tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan kecewa selepas namanya tidak disenarai dalam 26 pelatih bagi menghadapi siri persahabatan antarabangsa menentang Australia di Canberra pada 7 Oktober ini.
“Sudah pasti saya kecewa apabila nama saya tidak ada dalam senarai. Sebagai pemain bola sepak kita harus lalui segala rintangan dan ini adalah satu rintangan bagi diri saya.
“Saya setuju dengan alasan Rajagobal yang menyebut saya kurang bermain dalam Selangor menjadi faktor kepada keputusannya itu. Kita harus sedar kita masih ada kekurangan lagi dan perlu bekerja keras dan terus fokus terhadap permainan saya,” katanya ketika ditemui selepas sesi latihan Selangor di Padang SUK, kelmarin.
Akhbar kelmarin melaporkan pengendali skuad kebangsaan, K Rajagobal membuat kejutan dengan menggugurkan nama kaptennya, Safiq Rahim dalam senarai 26 pelatih skuad kebangsaan.
Turut tidak disenaraikan pengendali berkenaan adalah Sharbinee Allawee Ramli, Nasril Nourdin, Amirulhadi Zainal, Abdul Hadi Yahaya, Ashari Samsudin, Ismail Faruqi Ashari, Ahmad Fakri Saarani, S Chanthuru, Shakir Shaari, Rizal Fahmi Rosid, Helmi Remeli, Azmi Muslim dan Aidil Zafuan Radzak.
Pemain kelahiran Kuala Selangor itu turut mengakui faktor kurangnya peluang untuk beraksi akan mengganggu prestasi seseorang pemain namun ia sebenarnya ia bergantung kepada pemain itu sendiri.
“Mungkin masa akan datang saya akan kembali menguatkan skuad kebangsaan. Saya akan berusaha memikat jurulatih terus mengekalkan kedudukan dalam pasukan,” katanya.

He said despite not being the favourite, the women's team was able to surprise everyone by winning the gold medal at the Laos SEA Games. "I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup? All they need to do is try their very best." Women's team captain Wong Pei Tty said she and her team-mates have set a target of r...
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...
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 ...
