Salam Aidilfitri dari JangBola

Aidilfitri Hari Bahagia, Hari Mulia

Pada kesempatan ini JangBola mengucapkan Salam Aidilfitri kepada semua peminat-peminat tegar bola sepak pasukan Si Rusa. Semoga beroleh kesempurnaan dalam melakukan amalan-amalan sepanjang kita di bulan Ramadhan. Kita doakan juga agar kita dapat bertemu lagi pada Ramadhan yang akan datang.

Ohhh...Gosip gosip gosip, bulan Ramadhan juga tak dapat lari daripada dihinggapi penyakit gosip termasuklah dalam bola sepak. Terkini yang JangBola dengar ramai pemain dari sebuah pasukan utara tanahair bakal 'angkat kaki' termasuk yang muda-muda pun beriya-iya ingin mendapatkan pelepasan. Juga khabarnya sebuah pasukan kelab yang baru 'naik pangkat' rakus mencari pemain-pemain yang ada nama hinggakan ada pasukan-pasukan yang tidak berpuas hati dengan cara kelab ini memancing pemain.

Tidak kurang hebat juga ada sebuah pasukan dari Lembah Klang yang agak drastik membuang tonggak-tonggak mereka tapi pada masa yang sama cuba merampas pemain dari pasukan lain walaupun tahu pemain itu masih mempunyai kontrak. Itulah resam bola sepak di penghujung masim bila menanti musim baru tiba. Semoga keluar-masuk pemain dalam sesebuah pasukan dapat merancakkan saingan liga kita hendaknya.

Apa yang terkini di kem Si Rusa? Sumber JangBola memberitahu semua pemain yang bernaung dengan PBNS telah menandatangani MoU untuk kekal bersama N9 kecuali Sang Kembar yang berada di Slovakia bersama pasukan negara dalam siri jelajah persahabatan. Tiga nama yang digugurkan sudahpun diketahui umum iaitu bekas ketua pasukan Khairul Anuar Baharom, penyerang yang sudah kurang bisanya Effendi Malek dan penjaga gol yang banyak memanaskan bangku simpanan Yazid Yassin.

Akhir sekali, JangBola ucapkan sekali lagi Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Pandu berhati-hati di jalan raya, ingatlah orang yang tersyang. Salam manis dan salam mesra untuk semua.

Gosip JangBola menjelang musim 2009

tut tut tut hello! hello! JangBola menerima panggilan telefon petang semalam dari seorang pemanggil yang enggan memperkenalkan dirinya. JangBola layanje la paneh juga ceritanya, khabarnya nama beberapa otai telah dislash oleh pihak tertentu dari mewakili skuad ini musim depan. Itu takper la ada lagi satu yang menarik, JangBola diberitahu ada juga sebahagian otai-otai ni dah mula buat offer diri dengan team lain. Team tu ialah tutttt hehehe JangBola tak boleh bagitaula. (tp yang sebenarnya JangBola pun tak tau)

Cerita tentang gosip pindah memindah ni plak teringat JangBola pasal si kembar N9 ni pulak. Meletup sana sini menggosipkan mereka ni akan ke team itulah team inilah tapi sehingga kini keputusan masih belum diketahui. JangBola berharap mereka dapat memikirkan sebaik-baiknya masa depan karier mereka dan mendoakan mendapat yang terbaik. Setahu JangBola la kan tak ramai anak N9 yang merantau dapat mencipta nama sebaik di N9. Contoh JangBola ambil macam K. Rajan masa main dengan N9 dulu bukan main menjadi igauan pasukan lawan dan kerap kali dipanggil pasukan kebangsaan tapi bila dia berhijrah ke Selangor dan kemudian Pahang. Hmmm Entahlaaa dah tak nampak lagi larian lipas kudung budak Bahau ni.

Ingatan JangBola pada mereka yang berura-ura nak berhijrah fikir sebaik-baiknya, rezeki tuhan memang ada dimana-mana tapi harus diingat tempat jatuh lagikan dikenang. Hujan emas di negeri orang hujang batu di negeri sendiri. Fikir-fikirkanlah.

How to Become a Professional Footballer

Football. The magical game, the escape from the ghetto, or the streets, to seek fame and fortune. Many youngsters idolize their footballing heroes, longing to become the next David Beckham or Michael Owen. But exactly how do you become a professional footballer?

“I could have been a professional footballer, if it wasn’t for my dodgy knee, or my flat feet”. If I had a penny for every bloke up the pub that told me this line, I’d have my own private jet to fly back and forth from Belize in.

I believe that the way to become a professional footballer, in fact the way to reach the elite in any chosen career is to be passionate about what you do. You do not need to have your arm twisted to go to the training field and play in the freezing winter. You do not need to be scolded and cajoled into running the extra mile. But you do need to run the extra mile.

I started playing football when I was a toddler. As I grew up I had a natural love of the game. I couldn’t get enough of it. I would play 2, sometimes 3 games on the weekend. Saturday mornings, if the Wayland High School (Watton) had a match would be my first game. Then it was off to the local park in Ashill, in awe of the men playing in the first team, standing behind the goal kicking a ball up against the net, annoying the first team goalkeeper for Ashill. “If only I could get a game,” I would think to myself as the older guys strutted their stuff on the pitch. Then on a Sunday it was off to the next village to play in the youth football, from under 11s, all the way up to under 17s.

Of course it wasn’t long before I got to stand in front of the goal and start playing for the mens team in Ashill. I remember starting as a Sweeper, a position I absolutely loved. I had a big 6 foot, hard as nails centre half playing with me, who used to smash the opposition centre forward and I would drop off and pick up all the loose balls. Brilliant.

At this age, 14 or 15 years old I wasn’t really strong enough to compete physically with the men, although I did my best, and started to play in positions further up the field until ultimately becoming a striker.

But I always had a great “passion” for football. 3 games on the weekend was my ideal Saturday and Sunday. While friends went out to parties, I was totally dedicated to playing football. I would go out running in the evenings to get fitter, and never did I need someone to push me into doing this. I think most athletes and professional sportsman will tell the same story, that they just loved doing the thing they do.

Football has to be your hobby. You have to love doing it. Practice at every spare moment. Anyone can buy a ball and go into the yard and practice skills and flicks. Keeping the ball off the ground, kicking it against a wall, running with the ball until it feels as normal as running without it.

Practice, practice, practice. That is what you do when you are a professional, training 5 sometimes 6 days a week. So that is what you need to do before becoming a professional. If you want to be a dancer you stand in front of the mirror and practice your moves. If you want to become a singer you grab the shampoo bottle and sing your heart out at every possible opportunity. The same applies to football. In an ever more competitive sport, the pool of players to choose from is bigger, the quality of the players to choose from is better. You have to be the most dedicated athlete in the world to achieve this dream.

Of course you do need natural talent as well. I would never admit to being the most gifted player in the world but I was very dedicated. No matter how hard you try you cannot make a racehorse out of a donkey. It will soon become evident if you have what it takes to reach the top of your sport. You will coast through games, score bags of goals, be the outstanding player week after week. Then you will need belief in what you are doing. You will have to really believe that you can make it to the top.

Something that I never believed until it happened. I had a lot of determination and perseverance, but it never really crossed my mind that I could become a player until I walked through the front gate of St James Park with my kit bag. Even then I felt like an impostor in a world I should not have been in. Perhaps this was my downfall. Never really having enough belief. Never really feeling like I was a professional footballer.

But I was good enough to play over 300 professional matches and score over 130 goals. Practice was the foundation for everything I did. It almost felt that every cell in my body had to move into line and be synchronised to the exact movements required to perform the different skills in football. That training exercises were put in place to allow my mind to sub-consciously be aware of everything that needed to be done during a game, so that my conscious mind was free to deal with all the more complicated requirements of competing at an elite level.

When I watch amateur football I cannot help but wonder how much of an average players brain activity is used just focusing on controlling the ball. They have doubts in their minds because they are not sure that they will be able to deal with a ball coming at them at 30mph. Whereas a professional is hardly even thinking about this.

Ronaldinho (check his website out) is not worried in the least that he will be unable to control the ball, no matter how hard it comes to him, or under whatever difficult circumstances he receives the ball. His brain is working on much more complicated problems, such as evading his marker, finding space, being alert to the whereabouts of his teammates. He is like a Chess Grandmaster, constantly planning ahead. If the ball comes here, he immediately knows his future options before it has happened.

Practice, practice, practice. It fine-tunes the body into performing routine tasks on the football field such as

· ball control
· striking the ball
· athletic prowess
· and teamwork

and it frees up the brain to deal with the more intricate parts of the game such as

· movement off the ball
· creating space
· weighing up all the future options on the pitch

For all young aspiring Footballers and Athletes and Singers and Dancers out there in the world,

· believe 100% in what you want to be
· have a passion for what you do (otherwise find another sport, hobby, job)
· and practice, practice, practice.

Good luck.

FAM 'buta kayu'

Laporan akhbar hari ini memetik pasukan N9 dipotong 3 mata selepas didakwa menurunkan pemain bawah 21 tahun ketika pertemuan di Shah Alam hujung bulan lalu.

Setelah diselidiki FAM sebenarnya tersilap tulis dalam mengeluarkan fatwanya kerana apa yang ditulis dalam peraturan ini hanya memberitahu setiap pasukan WAJIB menurunkan pemain bawah 21 tahun bermain sepanjang 90 minit. Kenyataan ini jelas tidak menyatakan pemain tersebut adalah pemain tempatan ataupun pemain import. Ahhh FAM memang 'buta kayu', Che Mat Jusoh 'sengaja' nak bantu Ganu layak ke suku akhir Piala Malaysia!

Berkongsi Kenderaan ke Stadium

Sesuatu yang perlu dijadikan amalan tatkala kos harga minyak yang agak tinggi. Dahulu amalan berkongsi kenderaan sering dipandang sepi malah kempen 'Berkongsi Kenderaan ke Pejabat' yang pernah diwar-warkan satu masa dahulu pun hanya tinggal slogan yang mana tujuannya menangani kesesakan lalulintas.
Berdasarkan situasi semasa ini wajarlah kempen ini dihidupkan semula. Berkongsi kenderaan ke stadium telah lama dipraktikan. Dahulu masa tinggal di Kuala Lumpur untuk menonton bola di Paroi kami akan berkumpul di sebuah stesen minyak berhampiran tol Sungai Besi dan seterusnya berkongsi kenderaan. Jimat tol dan jimat minyak (tambahan pula naik kenderaan yang menggunakan NGV).
Kini waghieh-waghieh perlu lebihkan connection untuk kita sama-sama berkongsi kenderaan ke stadium. Sama-sama kita amalkan.

Anda Bukan Penyokong "Togar"!

Pernah terlintas untuk manunjukkan kecintaan pada pasukan Negeri Sembilan dengan memakai pakaian sebegini? Mungkin anda belum lagi layak digelar penyokong "togar". Selalunya kita akan dapat melihat peminat sebegini hanya pada perlawanan peringkat negara seperti Piala Merdeka, Piala Thomas atau sebagainya yang selalu memakai baju bendera Malaysia tapi bukan bendera negeri.

Mental Jang perlu kuat

JURULATIH Negeri Sembilan, K Devan, mahu anak buahnya memberi fokus utama terhadap cabaran yang bakal dihadapi dalam Liga Super menjelang sepak mula pada 3 Disember depan.

Menurutnya, pemain seharusnya sudah dapat membuat penilaian sendiri mengenai cabaran yang bakal dihadapi kelak yang dijangka lebih hebat berbanding musim lalu apabila berada dalam kelompok Liga Perdana.

“Saya sudah mengingatkan mereka bahawa skuad Negeri Sembilan perlu memberi fokus utama terhadap cabaran yang akan kita hadapi kerana kita bakal berdepan dengan pasukan handal yang mempunyai reputasi tersendiri.

“Pemain harus memperkukuhkan kekuatan mental masing-masing sebelum aksi sulung bertemu Pahang 3 Disember ini dan saya amat mengharapkan Negeri Sembilan mencapai kemenangan,” katanya selepas perlawanan persahabatan dengan Projek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan (Plus), di Paroi, malam kelmarin.

Pada perlawanan itu, Negeri Sembilan menewaskan Plus, 2-0.

Devan mahu setiap pemain yang diturunkan sepanjang perlawanan nanti sentiasa mampu memberikan sumbangan berkesan kerana ia bakal memberikan imej kepada pasukan secara keseluruhannya.

Jurulatih itu yang berjaya membawa Negeri Sembilan muncul Naib Juara Liga Perdana musim lalu itu mahu skuad Hoben Jang Hoben kali ini dapat mempamerkan perwatakan tersendiri sebagai pasukan yang sudah mencapai tahap lebih baik berbanding musim lalu.

“Inilah yang sedang kita usahakan untuk memastikan semua pemain sedar tentang tanggungjawab yang terpikul di bahu mereka,” katanya.

Katanya, walaupun persiapan pasukan belum mencapai 100 peratus, namun pada asasnya sudah bersedia untuk berdepan cabaran, malah beliau gembira dengan kemampuan yang ditunjukkan gandingan Mohd Nizaruddin Yusof dengan Christian Bekamenga Bekamengo di barisan depan.

“Dalam beberapa siri perlawanan persahabatan, kedua-dua pemain itu sudah mula menunjukkan keserasian dan persembahan membanggakan.

“Saya yakin kemantapan yang dimiliki pasukan kali ini akan memberikan hasil membanggakan sepanjang saingan Liga Super nanti,” katanya. Harian Metro
