BAM rugi tanpa Misbun

Ahmad Shabery Cheek (kiri) menerima cenderahati sehelai baju T daripada Datuk Raja Roslan Raja Samah pada Majlis Pra Pelancaran Larian Antarabangsa Ekiden Putrajaya, semalam. – UTUSAN/HANAFI KHAMIS


KUALA LUMPUR – Tindakan Datuk Misbun Sidek menolak kontrak baru Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) adalah satu kerugian buat badminton negara, namun tiada apa yang boleh dilakukan lagi seandainya 'hati' jurulatih itu tidak lagi bersama skuad kebangsaan, akui Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, semalam.

Ahmad Shabery mengakui, kepakaran yang ada pada Misbun mampu membantu menaikkan pemain-pemain muda negara, malangnya BAM mahupun beliau sendiri tiada kuasa untuk memaksa jurulatih tersebut daripada melaksanakan tugas bersama skuad kebangsaan.

Malah, Ahmad Shabery tidak menolak, Misbun mungkin tidak gembira dengan peranan baru yang diberikan kepadanya iaitu melatih pemain-pemain pelapis dan bukan lagi anak emasnya, jaguh No. 1 dunia, Datuk Lee Chong Wei.

"Saya belum mendapat laporan daripada BAM (mengenai keputusan Misbun) dan sebenarnya tidak mahu mengulas panjang perkara itu, pada saya walaupun beliau bagus tetapi jika hatinya sudah tidak lagi bersama skuad kebangsan, tiada apa yang boleh dilakukan kerana kita tidak boleh paksa.

"Mungkin Misbun tidak begitu gembira dengan peranan baru yang ditawarkan kepadanya, di mana beliau tidak lagi akan membimbing Lee Chong Wei, sebaliknya akan bekerja dengan pemain pelapis, bagaimanapun saya percaya perkara ini tidak akan menjejaskan program BAM.

"Malah, saya masih berharap mungkin pada masa akan datang, hati Misbun kembali sejuk dan bersedia untuk pulang ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan, itu tidak mustahil,'' kata Ahmad Shabery pada sidang akhbar selepas pra-pelancaran Larian Antarabangsa Ekiden Putrajaya 2011 di Menara Kementerian Belia dan Sukan di Putrajaya, semalam.

Ketika ditanya apakah tindakan Misbun menolak tawaran BAM sebagai satu kerugian besar buat badminton negara, Ahmad Shabery berkata, perpecahan sentiasa membawa kerugian kepada sukan, tidak terkecuali dalam isu Misbun.

"Pada saya, apa saja perpecahan akan merugikan sukan, begitu juga dalam soal Misbun, ia lebih kepada merugikan daripada menguntungkan. Namun, saya harap BAM hanya memandang ke depan dan fikirkan cabaran yang lebih besar, bagaimana hendak melahirkan pemain berbakat untuk menggantikan Chong Wei.

"Saya sebenarnya tidak terlalu risau dengan Chong Wei, bagaimana beliau hendak menyiapkan diri untuk menghadapi Sukan Olimpik kerana beliau nampak baik di bawah bimbingan Tey Seu Bock, tetapi yang lebih merisaukan saya adalah pemain yang hendak menggantikan Chong Wei selepas beliau bersara nanti,'' ujarnya lagi.

Mesyuarat Exco BAM, minggu lalu mengumumkan keputusan mengejut Misbun menolak tawaran kontrak baru sebagai jurulatih kebangsaan, biarpun pada awal bulan lalu beliau telah mengutus surat kepada Presiden BAM, Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd. Salleh untuk membatalkan peletakan jawatannya.

Tiada sebarang alasan diberikan oleh Misbun mengapa beliau enggan kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan, namun dipercayai, skop tugas baru yang diberikan BAM - melatih pemain pelapis dan bukan Chong Wei menjadi faktor utama jurulatih berpengalaman itu menolak tawaran badan badminton kebangsaan itu.

Lepaskan Safee menentang Hong Kong

Lepaskan Safee menentang Hong Kong

Lepaskan Safee menentang Hong Kong

Oleh MUHAMMAD DAYNE AZMIN
dayne.ghazali@utusan.com.my

PETALING JAYA - Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) bersedia memujuk kelab Pelita Jaya bagi melepaskan khidmat penyerang tersohor negara pada masa ini, Safee Sali pada perlawanan persahabatan menentang Hong Kong pada 3 Jun ini.

Menurut Setiausaha Agungnya, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad pihak FAM akan menggunakan dua cara meminta Pelita Jaya memberikan lampu hijau buat Safee beraksi bersama skuad negara.

''Pertama, kami telah mengutus surat kepada Pelita Jaya pada 29 April lalu dengan meminta mereka beri kebenaran buat Safee pulang ke Kuala Lumpur pada 1 Jun sebelum pulang ke Bandung, 4 Jun nanti.

''Kami ada juga memberikan rujukan jadual perjalanan bagi Safee bagi kempen kelayakan Piala Dunia 2014 apabila berdepan Taiwan pada 3 Julai," katanya pada majlis Taklimat Untuk Media di Wisma FAM, semalam.

Turut hadir dua Naib Presiden FAM, Datuk Hamidin Mohd. Amin dan Datuk Subahan Kamal yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Media FAM.

Selain itu, Azzuddin berkata, beliau berharap Hamidin dapat menggunakan budi bicaranya memujuk Pelita Jaya memberi pelepasan kepada Safee agar kembali ke tanah air.

''Hubungan Datuk Hamidin dan Pelita Jaya amat erat semenjak terlibat dalam urusan perpindahan Safee tempoh hari dan saya yakin itu dapat memujuk pihak Pelita Jaya," ujarnya.

Namun, Pelita Jaya sudah tentu keberatan melepaskan Safee begitu sahaja kerana pada 5 Jun nanti, kelab itu bakal menghadapi perhitungan penting menentang Persija Jakarta di Stadium Gelora Bung Karno.

Mengikut syarat teknikal yang dikeluarkan oleh Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA), sebuah pemain tidak boleh beraksi dalam tempoh 48 jam dan perlu berehat selama dua hari.

Safee sebelum ini pernah berkata yang dia dalam dilema untuk memilih sama ada mahu beraksi bersama skuad kebangsaan atau membantu kelabnya di Indonesia.

Ujarnya, dia tidak keberatan kembali beraksi dengan skuad negara menentang Hong Kong, namun harus memastikan ketiadaannya tidak menjejaskan kelab yang diwakilinya itu.

Miami put heat on Boston, take 2-0 series lead

MIAMI, May 4 — The Miami Heat piled the pressure on bruised and battered Boston by taking a 2-0 lead in their NBA playoff series with a 102-91 victory yesterday.

Quicker and more athletic than the Celtics, who have been hampered by a series of nagging injuries, the Heat again met the challenge of the defending Eastern Conference champions and have a commanding lead in the best-of-seven second round series with Game Three set for Saturday in Boston.

LeBron James took his turn to carry the load with 24 of his game-high 35 points coming in the second half, while Game One standout Dwyane Wade added 28 points.

"This is a great team we're going against right now," James told reporters. "We're playing as hard as we can defensively and just trying to wear them down throughout the course of the game.

"They made a run but we stuck to our principles and finally wore them down."

With the game tied 80-80 midway through the fourth, the Heat embarked on a 14-0 charge to put the contest out of reach.

Boston's Paul Pierce, who was ejected from the contentious series opener with two technical fouls in the fourth quarter, returned from a strained left foot that forced him to briefly exit in the first quarter on Tuesday.

Ray Allen also played on despite having a bruised chest following a collision with James in the third but the Celtics ran out of gas.

Rajon Rondo had 20 points and 12 assists for Boston, who trailed by five points after both the second and third quarters.

The Celtics will have to regroup at home if they are to take down Miami's "Big Three" which was constructed in the off-season to challenge Boston's supremacy.

Chris Bosh, the Heat's final member of their triumvirate, finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. — Reuters

Schalke face United seeking inspiration from win at Inter

Posted: 03 May 2011 07:31 PM PDT

MANCHESTER, May 4 — Schalke 04 are hoping to draw inspiration from last month's shock victory at Inter Milan when they try to overturn a 2-0 deficit away to Manchester United in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg.

The German side stunned holders Inter 5-2 in the first leg of their quarter-final at the San Siro and need to produce something similar to make amends for a woeful performance at home to United last week.

"Tomorrow we will show we can play better than we did last week and that we have learnt our lessons," Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick told a news conference on Tuesday.

"In football you can get the chance so we will see what happens... When we played in Milan against Inter people didn't give us much hope either."

The Bundesliga team's task is immense at a stadium where United have not lost for more than a year and have conceded only three goals in Europe this season.

United repeatedly tore apart Schalke's defence last week and on home soil they could prove even more devastating, even if manager Alex Ferguson is resting players ahead of Sunday's key Premier League match against Chelsea.

VISA PROBLEMS

But with Schalke having already overcome problems travelling to Manchester, with the team delayed in Germany for a couple of hours because of visa issues affecting some players, they are showing no signs of giving up without a fight.

"I think we have to be well organised in the first 10 minutes and then we have to take our chances when they're presented, even if there are just two minutes left," Rangnick said.

"You think of Manchester United and the Champions League win when they came back to win 2-1," he added, referring to the English club's stunning 1999 final victory over Bayern Munich which came after two stoppage-time goals.

United could easily have notched several more goals last week had it not been for the heroics of Manuel Neuer who Ferguson said had produced "arguably the finest goalkeeping display against us in Europe in my time."

Asked how important Neuer, who has caught United's eye as they seek to replace the retiring Edwin Van der Sar, would be on Wednesday, Rangnick grinned: "I hope a lot less important than last week." — Reuters

Meski Hanya Raih Satu Gelar, Federer Tetap Merasa Senang

Posted: 03 May 2011 04:41 AM PDT

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,MADRID - Petenis Roger Federer merasa senang dengan penampilannya pada musim 2011 ini. Meskipun musim ini baru meraih satu gelar, Federer mengaku tetap senang menerimanya. Dia hanya berharap bisa berkarier dalam dunia tenis untuk waktu lebih lama lagi.

Berbicara pada turnamen Madrid Terbuka, pemegang 16 gelar Grand Slam itu menyatakan isi hatinya tersebut. ''Ketika Anda sudah mencapai level bagus di dunia tenis, itu membuat Anda semakin memiliki banyak motivasi. Saya hanya berharap bisa mempertahankan level tersebut lebih lama lagi,'' kata Federer.

Federer merebut gelar Doha pada Januari lalu. Dia musim ini memiliki rekor 24 kali menang dan 5 kali kalah. Meskipun demikan, dia harus kehilangan ranking nomor dua dunianya dari Novak Djovokic. Federer kehilangan ranking tersebut setelah tiga kali menelan kekalahan dari Djokovic selama 2011 ini.

''Saya berjuang di Dubai,'' kata Federer. ''Saya di Miami bagus-bagus saja sampai saya bertemu (Rafael) Nadal di semifinal.''

China Absen di Malaysia, Ganda Campuran Berpeluang Besar

Posted: 03 May 2011 04:20 AM PDT

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,JAKARTA - Turnamen Malaysia Grand Prix Gold 2011 akan digelar di Alor Setar, Kedah, Selasa (3/5) hingga Ahad (8/5). Indonesia berharap bisa kembali meraih gelar dari nomor ganda campuran.

Tantowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir sukses memenangi gelar India Terbuka Super Series pada pekan lalu. Selain itu, Fran Kurniawan Teng/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth berhasil melaju ke final. Peluang kembali meraih gelar pun terbuka lebar karena China absen dalam turnamen tersebut.

Pelatih ganda campuran, Richard Mainaky, mengatakan absennya pemain Cina akan membuat persaingan di Malaysia lebih merata. "Ini kesempatan baik bagi pemain muda saya," kata Richard.

Liliyana, yang pernah meraih dua kali gelar juara dunia bersama Nova Widianto, mengatakan bahwa kemenangan di India itu baru awal. Karena itu, Liliyana dan Tantowi tidak ingin lengah.

"Perjuangan saya dan Tantowi masih panjang. Yang penting tetap konsentrasi karena masih banyak pertandingan di depan," kata dia.

Tantowi/Liliyana akan menghadapi Dani Bawa Christanta/Yu Yan Vanessa Neo di babak pertama Malaysia Grand Prix Gold. Sementara itu, Muhammad Rijal/Debby Susanto yang melaju ke semifinal India Super Series terpaksa absen di Malaysia. Sebab, Rijal mengalami cedera pinggang. Tiga tunggal Indonesia, Taufik Hidayat, Simon Santoso, dan Alamsyah Yunus juga mundur dari ajang berhadiah 120 ribu Dolar AS ini.

PKNS' goals came from Mohd Irme Mat, Mohd Azrif Nasuhaq and a brace from last season's Premier League top scorer Mohd Zamri Hassan.</p><!-- google_ad_section_start --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->http://www.mmail.com.my/content/71075-no-stopping-pkns#commentsFootballSportsMon, 02 May 2011 21:06:44 +0000Zam71075 at http://www.mmail.com.myNo funds misspenthttp://www.mmail.com.my/content/71074-no-funds-misspent <div class="field field-type-date field-field-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <span class="date-display-single">Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011 04:45:00</span> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong>PETALING JAYA: </strong>The Education Ministry clarified funds were not abused when the Negri Sembilan education department (JPNS) sent several teachers for a "study tour" to Bandung, Indonesia last year.</p><!-- google_ad_section_start --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->http://www.mmail.com.my/content/71074-no-funds-misspent#commentsOther SportsSportsMon, 02 May 2011 21:05:39 +0000Zam71074 at http://www.mmail.com.mySquash's saviourhttp://www.mmail.com.my/content/71073-squashs-saviour <div class="field field-type-text field-field-subtitle"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Nafiizwan can resurrect scene for Malaysia </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <span class="date-display-single">Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011 04:45:00</span> </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_start --><a href="/content/71073-squashs-saviour"><img src="/sites/default/files/imagecache/small/03nafiizwan.jpg" alt="" title="" width="150" height="150" class=" teaser-image-img" /></a><p><strong>NATIONAL squash player Azlan Iskandar was a spectator during the Asian championships in Penang recently.
