M'sia Pilih Jalan Sukar Ke Separuh Akhir



SINGAPURA, 26 Nov (Bernama) -- Skuad Harimau Malaya memilih jalan berliku ke separuh akhir Kejohanan Bola Sepak Piala AFF Suzuki 2014 selepas kalah 3-2 kepada Thailand pada aksi kedua kumpulan B di Stadium Jalan Besar di sini, Rabu malam.

Kekalahan itu menyaksikan Malaysia perlu menundukkan Singapura pada aksi terakhir kumpulan di Stadium Nasional, Singapore Sports Hub pada Sabtu ini.

Kemenangan kedua yang dicatatkan oleh Thailand pula menjadikan mereka pasukan kedua yang mengesahkan slot ke separuh akhir selepas Filipina daripada kumpulan A.

Malaysia sebelum ini terikat tanpa jaringan menentang Myanmar, Ahad lepas manakala Thailand mengalahkan Singapura 2-1 pada aksi pembukaan di Stadium Nasional.

Thailand bakal menamatkan aksi pusingan awal menentang Myanmar di Stadium Jalan Besar, Sabtu ini.

Pada aksi malam ini, pasukan Thailand kendalian Kiatisuk Senamuang dilihat banyak mendominasi perlawanan sehingga memaksa pemain negara terpaksa 'berkampung' di halaman sendiri pada babak awal perlawanan.

Nasib bagaimanapun lebih memihak skuad Harimau Malaya yang membuka tirai jaringan menerusi Mohd Amri Yahyah pada minit ke-28 selepas beliau bijak mengambil kesempatan kelalaian benteng pertahanan Thailand.

Kedudukan berkenaan tidak bertahan lama apabila skuad 'Gajah Perang' itu berjaya menyamakan kedudukan menerusi sentuhan penyudah pemain gantian, Adisak Kraisorn pada minit ke-42 dan keputusan berkenaan kekal sehingga berakhirnya separuh masa.

Bersambung babak kedua, Thailand meneruskan penguasaan mereka bagi menggandakan jaringan namun Malaysia berjaya mendahului menerusi gerakan solo perancang tengah, Safiq Rahim pada minit ke-60.

Thailand bagaimanapun tidak berputus asa dan berjaya menyamakan kedudukan menerusi penyerang mereka, Charyl Yannic Chappuis yang melakukan rembatan kencang dalam kotak penalti Malaysia pada minit ke-72.

Adisak menjadi 'duri dalam daging' untuk skuad Harimau Malaya selepas menjaringkan gol kemenangan pada minit ke-90 bagi memastikan Thailand mengesahkan tempat ke separuh akhir walaupun berbaki satu perlawanan.

Terdahulu, perlawanan berkenaan yang sepatutnya bermula pada 5 petang terpaksa ditunda hampir tiga jam berikutan hujan lebat serta petir sehingga memaksa pihak stadium menunda perlawanan tersebut.

Dalam pada itu, juara bertahan melakar kemenangan sulung selepas mengalahkan Myanmar 4-2 pada satu lagi aksi kumpulan B di Stadium Nasional.

Empat gol pasukan tuan rumah dijaringkan oleh Shaiful Esah Nain pada minit ke-15, Hariss Harun (35' dan 42') serta gol sendiri Khin Maung Lwin (75') manakala dua gol Myanmar disumbangkan oleh Kyaw Zayar Win (55') dan Kyaw Ko Ko menerusi sepakan penalti pada minit ke-62.

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...
