‘Tunggu Sabtu’


Kuala Lumpur: Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin mengesahkan mereka mempunyai nama baru untuk jawatan ketua jurulatih kebangsaan sebelum membuat keputusan akhir pada Mesyuarat Exco FAM, Sabtu ini.

Tanpa mahu mendedahkan nama calon itu, beliau hanya menyatakan FAM sudah mempunyai senarai akhir untuk diberikan tugas mengendalikan skuad Harimau Malaya bagi menggantikan Datuk K Rajagobal yang tamat kontrak pada 31 Disember lalu.

“Exco FAM akan bermesyuarat pada 28 Jun ini dan antara yang akan dibincangkan pelantikan jurulatih baru skuad kebangsaan. Kami sudah mempunyai senarai akhir calon jurulatih yang akan dibawa pada mesyuarat itu, mungkin keputusan untuk melantik jurulatih baru akan dicapai pada mesyuarat itu,” kata Hamidin kepada Arena Metro semalam.

FAM kini terdesak untuk mengumumkan jurulatih baru sepenuh masa memandangkan skuad kebangsaan hanya mempunyai kira-kira empat bulan untuk membuat persiapan menjelang kejohanan Piala AFF pada November ini yang bakal dianjurkan secara bersama Singapura dan Vietnam.

Buat masa ini, tugas mengendalikan Harimau Malaya dipikul Datuk Ong Kim Swee namun beliau dalam masa sama turut membimbing Harimau Muda A serta skuad bawah 23 bagi Sukan Asia di Incheon, September ini.

Sebelum ini FAM menyatakan sudah mengadakan perbincangan dengan tiga jurulatih asing iaitu bekas jurulatih kebangsaan Mozambique kelahiran Jerman Gert Engels, bekas jurulatih skuad remaja Sepanyol Luis Milla Aspas dan bekas jurulatih Iraq dari Jerman Wolfgang Sidka.

Ini berikutan usaha mereka untuk memancing bekas pengendali skuad Piala Dunia Jepun kelahiran Perancis Philippe Troussier tidak kesampaian apabila kedua-dua pihak gagal mencapai kata putus awal tahun ini.

Namun dua jurulatih tempatan Kim Swee dan jurulatih Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) Dollah Salleh masih berada dalam senarai dan sesetengah bekas pemain kebangsaan dan pemerhati bola sepak berasa, jurulatih tempatan lebih layak berbanding calon luar yang dimiliki FAM.

Namun seperti pernah dilaporkan sebelum ini, delegasi FAM diketuai Presiden Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah ke Brazil sempena Kongres AFC dan FIFA, baru-baru ini juga memasang hajat memantau perkembangan jurulatih Piala Dunia.

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...
