Johor Ambil Pemain Ternama Untuk Kuasai Liga M - Tunku Ismail

JOHOR BAHARU, 17 Dis (Bernama) -- Tujuan pasukan bola sepak Johor Darul Takzim mengambil pemain ternama adalah untuk meletakkan pasukan itu di barisan hadapan dalam arena bola sepak negara serta menjadi pasukan unggul dalam Liga M.

Sejajar dengan itu, presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) Tunku Ismail Idris Sultan Ibrahim mengingatkan pemain bahawa penyertaan mereka dalam pasukan itu bukan untuk tujuan 'makan angin', tetapi sebaliknya perlu berusaha untuk menjadikannya pasukan terbaik.

"Pasukan ini bukan tempat untuk menikmati percutian di mana pemain datang untuk mengambil gaji dan berehat, tapi mereka perlu bermain dengan sepenuh hati," katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini Isnin.

PBNJ menjadi perhatian ramai sejak beberapa bulan lepas kerana dikatakan berbelanja besar untuk mengambil ramai bintang bola sepak asing dan tempatan untuk bermain dengan pasukan Johor Darul Takzim, yang dulunya dikenali sebagai Johor FC.

Antara pemain tempatan terkenal yang diambilnya ialah Safee Sali, Muslim Ahmad, Aidil Zafuan dad Zaquan Adha Radzak, ketua pasukan kebangsaan Safiq Rahim, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha dan Azmi Muslim, manakala bintang luar negara pula ialah pemain tengah Itali Simone Del Nero dan bekas pemain antarabangsa Sepanyol Daniel Gonzales Guiza.

"Saya amat bersyukur kerana kami mempunyai para pemain yang cukup berbakat dalam pasukan ini dan saya, serta jurulatih Fandi Ahmad, sangat berpuas hati dengan pasukan ini dan akan memberi tumpuan untuk melatih mereka dari segi taktikal dan mental".

Fandi, yang turut hadir pada sidang akhbar itu, memberi amaran keras kepada para pemain bahawa status mereka sebagai bintang tidak menjadi tiket untuk mereka tersenarai sebagai kesebelasan utama bagi setiap perlawanan.

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...

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 ...

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...
