Apek serah pada KAFA


KOTA BHARU - Penjaga gol No. 1 negara, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat atau Apek (gambar) yang dilaporkan tidak muncul pada hari pertama sesi latihan Kelayakan Olimpik kelmarin, berkata dia menyerahkan kedudukannya kepada majikannya, Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA).
 
Beliau yang masih berada di sisi skuad Kelantan di sini, enggan mengulas ketidakhadiran bersama skuad Ong Kim Swee di Wisma Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), seperti yang disiarkan akhbar semalam.
Khairul Fahmi yang ditemui menyerahkan kepada KAFA untuk dia menyertai skuad Olimpik atau sebaliknya.

"Saya tidak boleh buat apa-apa (untuk lapor diri skuad ke Olimpik atau sebaliknya) sebab tidak dapat kata putus daripada KAFA," katanya.

Tinjauan Utusan Malaysia di kem latihan skuad Kelantan mendapati Khairul Fahmi menjalani latihan seperti biasa bersama rakan-rakan pasukannya dalam perlawanan persahabatan menentang skuad Piala Presiden negeri itu.

Sementara itu, KAFA menjelaskan 'kehilangan' Khairul Fahmi yang tidak hadir pada sesi latihan skuad kebangsaan disebabkan salah faham.

Presidennya, Tan Sri Annuar Musa berkata, sebenarnya KAFA telah memberi pelepasan kepada Khairul Fahmi untuk menyertai latihan skuad Olimpik.
Namun, katanya Khairul Fahmi harus berada dalam pasukan Kelantan 48 jam sebelum perlawanan menentang Kuala Lumpur yang akan berlangsung esok.
Beliau berkata, Khairul Fahmi sepatutnya boleh melapor diri di Wisma FAM kelmarin, tetapi dia perlu pulang untuk bersama skuad Red Warriors dalam tempoh tersebut dan kembali menyertai latihan skuad negara Ahad ini.

"Beliau sepatutnya boleh melapor diri pada 25 Januari di Wisma FAM tetapi menyangka perlu melapor diri hanya selepas perlawanan Kelantan menentang Kuala Lumpur.

"Saya meminta pengurusan Kelantan dan Apek menghubungi jurulatih pasukan Olimpik, Ong Kim Swee untuk menyelaras perkara ini dengan baik," katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia semalam.

Beliau mengulas mengenai ketiadaan Khairul Fahmi pada hari pertama sesi latihan persediaan bagi menghadapi perlawanan Kumpulan C Kelayakan Olimpik menentang Bahrain, kelmarin.

Pemain Kelantan itu juga tidak memberikan sebarang alasan ketiadaannya di Wisma FAM, Kelana Jaya di sini kepada Kim Swee, yang bagaimanapun masih cuba memberikan ruang dan tempoh kepadanya sehingga semalam.

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.

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 ...
