Tak perlu cari pengganti

Kelana Jaya: Jurulatih sementara Datuk Ong Kim Swee tidak bercadang memanggil pemain baru bagi menggantikan penyerang Norshahrul Idlan Talaha yang dikecualikan daripada menyertai latihan pusat skuad kebangsaan.

Kim Swee menegaskan beliau tidak berada dalam keadaan terdesak untuk mencari pemain baru lantaran pemain penyerang yang sedia ada mampu menggalas cabaran bagi pertemuan dengan Filipina bagi aksi persahabatan antarabangsa pada 1 Mac ini dan menentang Yaman untuk kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 empat hari kemudian.

“Saya tidak akan panggil pemain lain untuk menggantikan Mat Yo (Norshahrul), saya mempunyai pemain penyerang mencukupi. Buat masa ini saya hanya membawa masuk pemain pertahanan Asraruddin Putra Omar bagi menggantikan Mohd Razman Roslan yang mengalami kecederaan hamstring,” katanya ketika ditemui pada hari kedua sesi latihan pusat kebangsaan semalam.

Norshahrul mencetuskan kontroversi apabila gagal melaporkan diri kelmarin tanpa surat rasmi untuk meminta pengecualian.

Bagaimanapun pengurus pasukan Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal semalam mengesahkan mengadakan pertemuan dengan Norshahrul malam kelmarin dan menerima alasan pemain Johor Darul Ta'zim (Johor DT) itu untuk menarik diri.

Ketika ini Kim Swee mempunyai Mohd Safee Sali, Mohd Amri Yahyah, Bobby Gonzales, Ahmad Fakri Saarani dan Azamuddin Mohd Akil untuk mengisi posisi tengah.

Mengulas mengenai pelantikan Mohamad Aidil Zafuan Abd Radzak sebagai kapten bagi mengambil lilitan di lengan daripada Safiq Rahim, Kim Swee berkata, tonggak pertahanan Johor DT itu mempunyai personaliti dalam dan luar padang.

“Aidil kerap beraksi untuk pasukan kebangsaan, dia mempunyai ciri-ciri pemimpin di dalam padang dan pernah menjadi ketua pasukan sebelum ini,” katanya.

He said despite not being the favourite, the women's team was able to surprise everyone by winning the gold medal at the Laos SEA Games. "I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

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 ...

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...
