Pemilihan perlu lebih terbuka

SKUAD negara menamatkan kempen Piala Thomas 2014 di tempat kedua selepas tewas 2-3 kepada Jepun pada perlawanan akhir di Stadium Siri Fort New Delhi, India kelmarin.


MUNGKIN sudah tiba masanya Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) meniru sistem latihan skuad Jepun yang memberi tumpuan untuk menjalin kerjasama dengan kelab-kelab tempatan mereka dalam melahirkan pemain bertaraf dunia.

Bekas pemain beregu negara dan Penasihat Kelab Badminton Nusa Mahsuri, Datuk Seri Jalani Sidek berkata, sistem yang digunakan Jepun itu terbukti berjaya selepas mereka muncul sebagai kuasa baharu badminton dunia.

Kelmarin, Jepun mencatat sejarah baharu apabila muncul juara Kejohanan Badminton Piala Thomas selepas menundukkan Malaysia 3-2 pada perlawanan akhir yang berlangsung di Stadium Siri Fort New Delhi, India.

“Sistem di Jepun tidak sama dengan BAM, Di Jepun, mereka tidak menggunakan sistem pemain sepenuh masa dalam skuad kebangsaan seperti kita. Selepas habis sahaja kejohanan mereka akan terus pulang menyertai kelab masing-masing.

“Sebab itu mereka boleh menghantar pemain yang terbaik ke sesuatu kejohanan kerana mereka ada sistem pemilihan yang adil dan terbuka.

“Semua pemain daripada beberapa kelab di Jepun akan berlawan sesama sendiri untuk merebut tempat dalam skuad kebangsaan mereka, dan hanya yang terbaik akan dipilih.
“Cara pemilihan kita berbeza. Kita sudah ada pemain sepenuh masa di bawah naungan BAM. Jadi, konsep pemilihan itu tidak terbuka.

“Kelab-kelab di Jepun pula besar dan mempunyai kedudukan kewangan yang kukuh untuk melahirkan pemain yang hebat selain memberi pendedahan sejak pemain mereka masih di usia remaja lagi,” ujar Jalani kepada Kosmo! semalam.

Jalani yang turut memberi penekanan agar BAM melihat kepada aspek pembangunan di peringkat akar umbi menjelaskan, sistem yang digunakan di China juga sama namun pemain mereka dikendalikan oleh persatuan-persatuan di wilayah masing-masing.

“China ada persatuan di wilayah masing-masing yang peranan mereka sama seperti Majlis Sukan Negeri tetapi mereka bergerak aktif dengan melahirkan pemain-pemain remaja untuk skuad negara.
“Jadi apa yang mereka perlu lakukan di sini ialah kembali kepada asas dengan melihat kepada akar umbi, saya menjadi juara ketika berusia 19 tahun kerana ketika saya usia 15 dan 16 tahun saya sudah beraksi di pentas antarabangsa.

“Jadi semakin lama bermain pemain juga akan meningkat, semakin berpengalaman dan tahu senario di luar sana. Kalah tidak apa tetapi ia tidak bermakna kalah selama-lamanya kerana pengalaman yang penting terutama untuk mengawal tekanan ketika menghadapi kejohanan,” jelas Jalani.

Dalam pada itu, Jalani yang turut mengulas mengenai Izuan Ibrahim iaitu jurulatih remaja Kelab Badminton Nihong di Jepun yang bertanggungjawab membentuk pemain perseorangan kedua Jepun, Kento Momota mengakui bahawa dia (Izuan) telah menjalankan tugas dengan baik.

“Memang benar Izuan telah melatih Momota ketika di peringkat kelab, tetapi dengan kerjasama Persatuan Badminton Jepun yang menggunakan pengalaman Park Joo Bong, bakat pemain muda Jepun itu terus menunjukkan peningkatan,” kata Jalani.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

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...
