Johor sambar penjaring terbanyak La Liga

Daniel Gonzales Guiza
 
JOHOR BAHRU - Johor membuktikan kesungguhan untuk membentuk skuad yang digeruni bagi mengharungi saingan Liga Super musim depan apabila mengikat pemain Sepanyol, Daniel Gonzales Guiza.

Guiza merupakan penjaring terbanyak La Liga musim 2007/2008 iaitu ketika mewakili Mallorca dan disahkan bakal menjadi milik skuad Johor.

Pemain itu dijangka tiba di sini esok bersama ejennya untuk menandatangani kontrak Jumaat ini.
Kehadiran pemain yang lebih dikenali dengan nama Daniel Guiza dan berusia 32 tahun itu diumumkan oleh Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ), Tunku Mahkota Johor (TMJ), Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, semalam.

Selain Guiza, Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak, Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak, Azmi Muslim dan Mohd. Muslim Ahmad sah menjadi milik Johor, manakala Safiq Rahim dan Mohd. Nurul Azwan Roya sudah menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MoU) dengan pasukan itu.

Johor juga sedang menunggu keputusan daripada penyerang sensasi negara, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha.
Tunku Ismail berkata, Guiza yang merupakan pemain penyerang kini beraksi untuk Getafe dalam saingan La Liga, sudah hampir 95 peratus menjadi milik Johor dan pasukan mengalu-alukan kedatangan pemain itu.

"Nilai pemain itu di pasaran Eropah adalah 1.6 juta euro. Berapa jumlah yang PBNJ bayar untuk mendapat khidmatnya, saya tidak akan dedahkan. Yang penting dia bakal memberi impak kepada skuad Johor dalam saingan musim depan.

"Dia (Guiza) yang membantu Sepanyol muncul juara Piala Eropah 2008 sudah menyatakan persetujuan beraksi bersama Johor dan kami gembira dapat mengikat pemain bertaraf dunia," katanya pada sidang media di Istana Bukit Pelangi di sini semalam.

Selain Mallorca dan Getafe, Guiza juga pernah beraksi dengan kelab Turki, Fenerbahçe dan turut membuat penampilan dalam saingan Liga Juara-juara Eropah bersama kelab tersebut.

Tunku Ismail juga memberitahu, bekas pemain kebangsaan Singapura, Fandi Ahmad bakal menjadi Ketua Jurulatih dan Pengurus Pasukan dan akan dibantu oleh Ismail Ibrahim manakala Johor FA pula akan dibimbing Azmi Mohamad.

"Kita sedang mencari seorang lagi pemain import bagi menguatkan posisi tengah pasukan.
“Untuk itu, kita akan umumkan siapa pemain itu tidak lama lagi," katanya yang mahu mengembalikan kegemilangan Johor dalam arena bola sepak negara.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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...
