Harimau lembam



Shah Alam: Jaringan minit akhir perlawanan oleh pertahanan negara Mohd Fadhli Shas menghidupkan suasana persahabatan Harimau Malaya menentang Chelsea malam tadi sekali gus menyaksikan perlawanan berakhir dengan kekalahan 1-4 kepada skuad negara.
Walau bagaimanapun terdapat kelemahan yang perlu dipertingkatkan jurulatih Datuk K Rajagobal seandainya mahu layak ke pusingan akhir Piala Asia 2015.

Blues yang mendapat sokongan kira-kira 40,000 penyokong menjaringkan tiga gol pada babak pertama disusuli ledakan Victor Moses pada minit ke-89 yang menggamatkan Stadium Shah Alam.
Pelawat kendalian Jose Mourinho jelas mendominasi perlawanan dengan mengamalkan corak permainan pantas dan kelebihan fizikal yang dimiliki sesetengah pemainnya.

Chelsea FC membuat percubaan pertama perlawanan menerusi Romelu Lukaku seawal minit kelima permainan namun berjaya ditampan Mohd Farizal Marlias yang ditugaskan mengawal gawang negara.

Walau bagaimanapun selang beberapa saat, jaringan berjaya dihasilkan menerusi Bertrand Traore yang menolak mudah hantaran rendah Kevin De Brunye.

PELBAGAI gelagat penyokong Chelsea ketika menentang skuad negara.
Chelsea FC menambah gol kedua m-28 menerusi De Brunye disusuli Lukaku yang akhirnya meledak jaringan pada masa kecederaan pertama selepas sering kali mengasak kubu negara.

Malaysia turut mendapat peluang untuk menjaringkan gol dengan peluang terbaik hadir menerusi sepakan kencang luar kotak penalti kapten pasukan, Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abd Radzak namun ditolak Mark Shwarzer di gawang.

Bersambung babak kedua Chelsea menukar sembilan pemain apabila merehatkan Micheal Essien, Lukaku dan John Terry untuk menurunkan pemain seperti Demba Ba, Ramires, Peter Cech dan Victor Moses.

Nyata percaturan Mourinho membuahkan hasil apabila corak permainan Blues semakin mantap dengan lebih banyak serangan diatur ke kubu skuad negara.

Rajagobal turut melakukan beberapa pertukaran termasuk menurunkan Safee Sali, Mohd Nazmi Faiz Mansor, Safiq Rahim dan Norfarhan Muhammad untuk merapatkan kedudukan namun tidak berhasil.

Tiada gerakan berbahaya mampu dihasilkan pemain negara sehinggalah tandukan pemain Harimau Muda A itu menewaskan Petr Cech dan usaha untuk Nizab Ayub menambah jaringan kedua menemui kegagalan.

Keputusan ini mengekalkan rekod bersih Chelsea FC di Malaysia sejak 2011 dengan mencatatkan empat kemenangan.

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 ...

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...

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
