Pengganti Rajagobal pertengahan bulan depan

Kelana Jaya: Aksi persahabatan antarabangsa dengan Filipina pada 1 Mac depan di Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) bakal menjadi aksi pembuka tirai Harimau Malaya tahun ini namun biarpun tempoh itu nampak singkat, Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) seakan tidak mahu terburu-buru untuk memperkenalkan jurulatih baru kebangsaan.

Jika sebelum ini badan induk bola sepak tanah air itu menyatakan bersedia untuk mengumumkan pengganti baru Datuk K Rajagobal awal bulan depan namun seakan ada rundingan yang belum selesai apabila mereka masih memerlukan sedikit masa lagi.

“Seperti yang saya nyatakan sebelum ini, saya akan umumkan apabila tiba masanya. Saya jangkakan jurulatih baru skuad kebangsaan akan diumumkan pada pertengahan bulan depan,” kata Setiausaha Agung FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin ketika ditemui semalam.

Pengendali dari Perancis Philippe Troussier dikatakan semakin hampir untuk menandatangani kontrak dengan FAM selepas mereka mengadakan pertemuan di Singapura November lalu.

FotoTROUSSIER dikatakan semakin hampir tandatangani kontrak dengan FAM.

Troussier, 58, bekas jurulatih skuad Piala Dunia Jepun, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Afrika Selatan, Qatar dan Maghribi dikatakan ditawarkan gaji lumayan lebih RM5 juta setahun selepas FAM tidak menyambung kontrak Rajagobal yang berakhir 31 Disember lalu.

Selain Troussier beberapa nama seperti bekas jurulatih Liverpool, Alex Miller, bekas jurulatih China dan Uzbekistan Bob Houghton, bekas jurulatih AS Roma Zdenek Zeman serta bekas pemain skuad juara Piala Dunia Perancis Marcel Desailly turut dikaitkan dengan kerusi panas itu.

Hamidin berkata, mereka tidak bimbang dengan persiapan Harimau Malaya yang akan meneruskan saingan dalam kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 menentang Yaman pada 5 Mac depan kerana jurulatih Harimau Muda A Datuk Ong Kim Swee kini mengendalikan tugas sebagai jurulatih sementara.

“Buat masa ini Kim Swee sedang memantau prestasi pemain dalam Liga M bagi aksi persahabatan nanti (menentang Filipina). Saya percaya beliau mampu menggalas tugas ini dengan baik sebelum FAM memperkenalkan jurulatih baru nanti,” katanya.

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...

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 ...
