Malaysia Gagal Pertahankan Piala AFF Suzuki, Kalah Kepada Thailand Di Separuh Akhir

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 Dis (Bernama) -- Hajat Malaysia untuk melangkah ke perlawanan akhir Piala AFF Suzuki 2012 tidak kesampaian selepas mereka kalah secara agregat 1-3 kepada Thailand pada separuh akhir kedua di Stadium Supachalasai, Bangkok, Thailand, Khamis.

Kedua-dua pasukan sebelum ini mencatatkan keputusan seri 1-1 di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil pada Ahad lepas.

Kekalahan tersebut sekali gus meleburkan rekod skuad Harimau Malaya bimbingan Datuk K. Rajagobal untuk mempertahankan Piala AFF yang dimenangi pada 2010 di Indonesia.

Thailand yang menggunakan khidmat pembantu jurulatih Mano Polking ekoran penggantungan ketua jurulatih Winfried Schafer nyata unggul dengan menguasai sebahagian besar permainan dengan serangan bertali arus ke kubu skuad kebangsaan.

Nasib malang menimpa skuad Harimau Malaya apabila pengadil perlawanan, Lee Min Hu dari Korea Selatan melayangkan kad merah kepada pemain pertahanan, Mohamad Fadhli Mohd Shas pada minit ke-44 kerana bergaduh dengan pemain tengah Thailand, Datsakorn Thonglao.

Bersambung separuh masa kedua, Rajagobal membuat pertukaran dengan mengeluarkan pemain sayap kiri, S. Kunalan dan memasukkan Mohd Khyrill Muhymeen Zambri pada minit ke-52 untuk menguatkan bahagian tengah.

Kelekaan barisan pertahanan negara kemudian membawa padah apabila penyerang berbisa Thailand, Teerasil Dangda membuka tirai jaringan pada minit ke-60 setelah beliau memanfaatkan hantaran rakan sepasukan sebelum melepaskan rembatan untuk menewaskan penjaga gol skuad kebangsaan, Mohd Farizal Marlias.

Lima minit kemudian, pemain pertahanan Theerathon Butmathan menjaringkan gol kedua untuk skuad 'Changsuk' (Gajah Perang) itu.

Skuad Harimau Malaya berpeluang untuk mengurangkan defisit jaringan pada minit ke-81 menerusi tandukan Norshahrul Idlan Talaha hasil sepakan percuma kapten pasukan, Safiq Rahim namun ditepis keluar oleh penjaga gol pasukan Thailand, Kawin Thamsatchanan.

Keputusan tersebut menyaksikan pasukan Thailand yang muncul juara pada 1996, 2000 dan 2002 layak ke perlawanan akhir buat kali kelima.

Skuad bimbingan Winfried Schafer itu akan membuat perhitungan dengan pasukan Singapura pada perlawanan akhir yang akan diadakan secara timbal balik pada 19 dan 22 Dis.

Singapura mara ke perlawanan akhir buat kali keempat semalam selepas menundukkan Filipina, 1-0 secara agregat pada separuh akhir kedua di Stadium Jalan Besar, Singapura.

Perlawanan akhir pertama akan diadakan di Singapura sebelum aksi timbal balik di Thailand.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
