Siapa pilihan Rajagobal


SAFEE mungkin mengetuai jentera serangan pada aksi menentang Filipina Jumaat ini.
TEKA-TEKI mengenai siapa yang bakal mengemudi jentera serangan skuad bola sepak kebangsaan menjelang aksi persahabatan menentang Filipina di Stadium Shah Alam, Jumaat ini masih belum terjawab.

Kelmarin, jurulatih Harimau Malaya, Datuk K. Rajagobal hanya menurunkan pilihan utama seperti Mohd. Safee Sali, Ashari Samsudin dan Norshahrul Idlan Talaha pada 20 minit terakhir semasa menewaskan Felda United 2-1 dalam aksi pemanas badan di padang Wisma FAM.

Selain ketiga-tiga pemain tersebut, Rajagobal turut menguji kemampuan penyerang Pahang, Azamuddin Akil bersama dua penyerang Negeri Sembilan, Ahmad Shakir Md. Ali dan Shahurain Abu Samah yang turut meledak gol dalam perlawanan itu.

Satu lagi gol Harimau Malaya diledak oleh pemain tengah, Amar Rohidan sementara gol tunggal Felda United dilakar oleh Abdul Ghani Rahman menerusi satu sepakan percuma dua minit sebelum perlawanan tamat.

Meskipun kekal berteka-teki, Rajagobal mengakui berpuas hati dengan persembahan keseluruhan skuad kebangsaan menjelang pertemuan menentang Filipina kelak.

"Keputusan perlawanan tidak penting, saya cuma mahu pemain saya mendapat rentak untuk perlawanan sebenar.

"Secara keseluruhan, saya berpuas hati dengan kecergasan pemain, pemain juga dilihat dapat melakukan hantaran yang baik selain kombinasi sesama pemain juga bagus," katanya kepada pemberita kelmarin.
Untuk rekod, Malaysia sekadar seri 1-1 dengan Filipina dalam satu aksi persahabatan terakhir antara kedua-dua pasukan di Stadium Memorial Rizal, Manila pada 29 Februari lepas.

Selepas berdepan anak-anak buah Michael Weiss Jumaat ini, skuad negara bakal berkunjung ke Stadium Jalan Besar berdepan Singapura pada 8 Jun depan sebelum kembali berdepan pasukan sama di Stadium Shah Alam empat hari kemudian.

Ketiga-tiga siri ujian persahabatan kelas A itu merupakan persediaan awal Harimau Malaya dalam usaha mempertahankan Piala AFF Suzuki yang dimenangi di Jakarta dua tahun lepas.

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 ...
