KUALA LUMPUR - 'Jangan pisang berbuah dua kali', itu pesanan Presiden Konfederasi Hoki Malaysia (MHC), Tengku Abdullah Ahmad Shah kepada barisan pemain hoki negara yang akan beraksi di Dublin, Ireland bagi menghadapi kelayakan Olimpik 2012.

Berharap nasib dan rezeki akan berpihak kepada Malaysia pada kali ini, beliau mengingatkan para pemain mampu menampilkan rentak permainan yang terbaik dan konsisten sehingga perlawanan terakhir sambil mahu menjadikan kegagalan meraih pingat emas di Sukan Asia 2010 sebagai satu pengajaran berguna.

''Mereka telah beraksi dengan baik sekali semasa di Sukan Asia tetapi apabila berada di perlawanan akhir, mereka tidak menampilkan permainan yang diharapkan.
''Kegagalan ini perlu dielakkan sekali lagi lagi dan saya mahu semua pemain imbas kembali mengapa mereka tidak berjaya di perlawanan akhir Sukan Asia.

''Cuma nasihat saya, jangan pisang berbuah dua kali dan jangan ulang kesilapan yang sama serta dapat tampilkan rentak sebenar dalam semua perlawanan," katanya pada sidang media pengumuman senarai 18 pemain yang akan membawa cabaran negara di pusingan kelayakan Olimpik 2012 di Dublin, Ireland dari 11-18 Mac ini.

Malaysia yang terlepas dua kali edisi terakhir Sukan Olimpik pada tahun 2004 dan 2008 akan bertemu Chile pada perlawanan sulung diikuti Rusia sehari kemudian sebelum Ukraine (13 Mac), Korea Selatan (15 Mac) dan Ireland (17 Mac) pada perlawanan terakhir.

Pasukan di tangga pertama dan kedua akan bertemu pada perlawanan akhir dan pemenang akan menempah tiket ke Sukan Olimpik London 2012.

Pada majlis pengumuman itu, Sultan Perak yang juga bekas Presiden Persekutuan Hoki Malaysia (PHM), Sultan Azlan Shah turut hadir meniupkan semangat kepada para pemain.

Sementara itu, Beng Hai berkata, pemilihan dua pemain muda, Mohd. Izzat Mohd. Rahim dan Mohd. Fitri Saari adalah kerana mereka layak disenaraikan secara merit dan ia tidak perlu dipersoalkan.

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 ...
