Harimau Muda idam hatrik Sukan SEA


Johor Bahru: Pemburuan emas hatrik pada temasya Sukan SEA Myanmar, Disember ini tetap menjadi misi utama skuad Harimau Muda A biarpun sedar tuan rumah bakal memberi ancaman.
Malah kapten Mohd Irfan Fazail tetap optimis kilauan emas mampu dijelmakan walaupun bakal berdepan provokasi dari pasukan tuan rumah.


Dia yang ditemui selepas menandatangani kontrak dua tahun bersama pemain pertahanan, Mohd Fadhli Mohd Shas untuk beraksi dengan Johor Darul Takzim (DT) pada saingan Liga M musim depan bakal mengambil sikap berwaspada dengan apa jua helah skuad Myanmar.

“Buat masa ini skuad Sukan SEA negara menjalani latihan seperti biasa dan pemain yang baru tamat kempen saingan Piala Malaysia akan melaporkan diri dalam kem latihan.

“Kita sudah bersedia dan sememangnya sasaran utama adalah mengekalkan emas untuk kali ketiga. Semestinya saya mahu menamatkan karier bersama Harimau Muda dengan kejayaan sebelum memulakan langkah selaku pemain profesional bersama Johor DT musim depan,” katanya selepas sesi bertemu peminat di Stadium Tan Sri Hassan Yunos, Larkin, kelmarin.

Pada saingan Sukan SEA Jakarta, dua tahun lalu, skuad Harimau Muda menewaskan tuan rumah Indonesia 4-3 menerusi penentuan sepakan penalti selepas terikat 1-1, mengulangi kejayaan skuad bimbingan Datuk K Rajagobal yang mencipta kejayaan emas selepas menewaskan Vietnam, 1-0 pada Sukan SEA Laos.

Irfan menambah lagi, Myanmar yang memiliki kelebihan selaku tuan rumah akan menggunakan segala taktik menidakkan impian Malaysia namun itu bukan halangan buat pasukan bimbingan Ong Kim Swee memburunya, sambil mengakui pasukan seperti Singapura, Thailand dan Indonesia turut menurunkan barisan terbaik masing-masing.

“Tiada kejayaan jika kita tidak berusaha dan saya yakin dengan barisan pemain sedia ada serta pengalaman beraksi di luar negara memberi kelebihan buat kita merealisasikan impian ini.”

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...

"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...
