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...
