FAM Perlu Pasti Latihan Luar Negara Beri Pulangan Kepada Negara

KOTA BAHARU, 27 Mei (Bernama) -- Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) perlu memastikan latihan skuad Harimau Malaya di luar negara mampu memberi pulangan yang setimpal dengan perbelanjaan besar yang terpaksa ditanggung kerajaan kepada skuad kebangsaan.

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata kesesuaian memilih tempat latihan adalah penting kerana melibatkan kos yang tinggi.

"Kalau peruntuk wang yang banyak, tapi lawan dengan pasukan berstatus sekolah, baik duduk dekat Kuala Lumpur...lawan dengan budak-budak Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil sahaja.

"Kalau boleh berikan manfaat dari segi pendedahan, boleh diteruskan tapi kena pastikan kita akan dapat manfaat kerana belanja yang dikeluarkan bukanlah sedikit. Kalau tak sesuai tak perlulah. Banyak lagi tempat lain yang lebih sesuai," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mengadakan mesyuarat bersama pegawai Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Kelantan di sini Isnin.

Akhbar hari ini melaporkan tindakan pengendali Harimau Malaya, Datuk K. Rajagobal untuk menghadapi kelab divisyen dua Australia di Canberra dan Sydney serta keputusan FAM membatalkan perlawanan persahabatan kelas A menentang Singapura pada 4 dan 7 Jun ini mengundang pertanyaan daripada pelbagai pihak.

Ramai pihak berpendapat ia satu keputusan yang tidak wajar memandangkan cuaca di Australia kian sejuk iaitu dua hingga tujuh darjah Celsius di Canberra, 10 hingga 14 darjah Celsius di Sydney manakala suhu di Bahrain 26 hingga 33 darjah celsius.

Skuad kebangsaan akan bertemu Bahrain dalam saingan Kumpulan D, Kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 pada 15 Oktober di Kuala Lumpur.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Zolkples berkata hasrat kerajaan membida untuk menjadi tuan rumah kepada bola sepak Piala Dunia 2034 adalah tepat.

"MSN mempunyai 'Projek 2019' di mana kita latih pemain bawah 17 tahun untuk menyertai Piala Dunia bawah 17 pada 2019 nanti.

"Kita harap dengan program latihan tersebut akan menghasilkan lebih ramai bakat-bakat baharu menjelang Piala Dunia 2034 nanti," katanya.

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...

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 ...
