KUALA LUMPUR – The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) handed head coach B. Sathianathan the vote of confidence despite the Tigers’ disappointing showing at the AFF Suzuki Cup.
Malaysia crashed out of South East Asia’s showcase tournament at the group stage following defeats to Vietnam (3-2) and co-hosts Thailand (3-0) but following a meeting chaired by FAM President Sultan Ahmad Shah, Sathianathan was offered an extension to his current contract.
"The committee (for the national team) felt that it was not fair for Sathianathan to be evaluated based on the team's performance in the Suzuki AFF Cup given that it has not been a year since he was national coach," FAM Vice President, Khairy Jamaluddin told Bernama News Agency.
Jamaluddin added that the situation will be reviewed after the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in January, when Malaysia opens their Group C campaign against the UAE while a committee would also be established to decide whether or not another coach will take the helm of the U-23s for next December’s SEA Games in Laos.

Komen Deputy President FAM : Pasukan Kebangsaan Bolasepak Malaysia
November 14, 2008 Pasukan Kebangsaan Bolasepak Malaysia http://www.rembau.net.my/ Sebagai peminat bolasepak tanah air, saya cukup bangga melihat kedudukan terbaru pasukan kebangsaan Malaysia dalam 'ranking' sedunia Coca-Cola FIFA naik sembilan anak tangga ke tempat 151. Sewaktu saya dipilih sebagai Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM), kedudukan dunia pasukan kebangsaan di tangga 172. Menyedari hakikat ini, saya selaku orang yang dipertanggungjawab oleh KDYMM Tuanku Presiden FAM untuk menjaga pasukan kebangsaan menjadikan isu 'ranking' ini sebagai salah satu penunjuk aras pencapaian atau KPI utama dalam menilai status perkembangan bolasepak tanah air. Tidak keterlaluan jika saya katakan bahawa 'ranking' terkini pasukan kebangsaan menandakan sedikit sebanyak kemajuan kita, walaupun perjalanan FAM kearah kecemerlangan masih jauh lagi. Saya percaya perkembangan positif ini bersangkut-paut dengan strategi yang digunapakai di mana wujud suatu pengkhususan kepada mutu sesi latihan pemain kebangsaan. Contohnya, klinik latihan bersama idola Liverpool FC, Ian Rush, dan sesi taktikal yang dikendalikan jurulatih pasukan negara B.Sathianathan telah menyumbang kepada kemampuan teknikal serta keyakinan diri para pemain – ini terserlah sewaktu perlawanan persahabatan menentang Chelsea FC pada 29 Julai lepas. Walaupun tewas, namun saya pasti pemerhati bolasepak tanahair akan mengakui kemajuan tahap persembahan pasukan kita berbanding dua atau tiga tahun dahulu. Yang paling terserlah, para pemain telah mengekalkan tahap disiplin tinggi sepanjang perlawanan – mengikut taktik dan strategi sepertimana yang diarahkan oleh jurulatih. Antara indikasi perkembangan positif yang lain dapat dilihat sewaktu Piala Antara Benua 2008 yang dilangsungkan pada bulan Mei di mana Malaysia sebagai tuan rumah meraih kemenangan 1-0 ke atas juara Piala Asia AFC 2007, Iraq dan keputusan seri 1-1 dengan Nigeria yang kemudiannya mara ke perlawanan akhir di Olimpik 2008 Beijing. Ternyata usaha gigih jurulatih B. Sathianathan dan Datuk Soh Chin Aun ("Tauke") selaku Pengurus Pasukan sudah mula membuahkan hasil. Datuk Soh yang akan sentiasa menjadi idola dan ikon bola sepak nasional jelas berjaya menyuntik semangat dan inspirasi kepada pemain kita. Meskipun begitu, pihak FAM sedar bahawa perjalanan masih jauh untuk mencapai impian kita melihat pasukan bola sepak nasional disegani semula di rantau Asia, mahupun dunia. 'Ranking' dunia pasukan kita, walaupun meningkat, masih lagi di bawah negara-negara seperti Fiji dan India yang tidak pun mempunyai 'budaya bola' sepertimana di Malaysia. Secara keseluruhannya, saya melihat kecergasan dan stamina pemain-pemain kebangsaan kian meningkat, tetapi keupayaan dari segi taktikal masih kurang memuaskan. Misalnya, pasukan kita masih lemah dalam skil menjaringkan gol dari 'set piece' seperti sepakan percuma atau penjuru. Saya yakin saudara B.Sathianathan memang memberi tumpuan kepada aspek ini, disamping mempertajam kebolehan para pemain penyerang menjaringkan gol. Pendekatan menghantar skuad pasukan Malaysia ke luar negara untuk menjalani sesi latihan dan siri perlawanan persahabatan juga wajar diteruskan kerana memberi peluang kepada para pemain menimba pengalaman unik. Contohnya, dalam lawatan ke Slovakia pada bulan Ramadhan lalu, skuad negara beraksi menentang pasukan-pasukan handal termasuklah FC Vion Zlaté Moravce - sebuah kelab yang mara ke pusingan kedua kelayakan Piala UEFA 2007-2008. Lawatan seperti ini juga merupakan peluang kepada ejen atau 'scout' bolasepak dari Eropah memerhati pemain kita; sewaktu di Slovakia pun ramai yang tertarik dengan pemain negara, terutamanya gandingan adik-beradik Zaquan Adha Radzak dan Mohd Aidil Zafuan Radzak. Malah, Zaquan dan Zafuan sudah dimaklumkan oleh ejen di Slovakia bahawa mereka akan diberi peluang beraksi dalam sebuah kelab Liga Divisyen Satu Slovakia tidak lama lagi. Peluang menimba pengalaman seperti ini melambangkan satu lagi langkah positif dalam usaha meningkatkan mutu para pemain negara. Bagi memastikan kesinambungan jangka panjang, saya menaruh harapan tinggi kepada eksperimen Harimau Muda di mana pasukan nasional bawah 20 tahun diserapkan ke dalam Liga Perdana Malaysia sebagai satu pasukan kelab. Di samping itu, para pemain senior juga tidak dilupakan. Ramai individu seperti Indra Putra Mahyuddin, Hardi Jaafar, Irwan Fadzli Idrus dan Khaironisam Shahbudin yang pada mulanya digugurkan selepas prestasi hambar sewaktu Piala Asia AFC tahun lepas sudah mula diserapkan kembali ke dalam pentas nasional. Dalam masa terdekat ini, persembahan pasukan negara di Piala Suzuki Persekutuan Bolasepak ASEAN (AFF) bermula 6 Disember menjadi ukuran seterusnya – moga-moga kita dapat menonjolkan prestasi yang baik. Perkara inilah yang mendorong saya meluluskan penglibatan pasukan negara dalam Piala Cabaran Grand Royal Myanmar yang sedang berlangsung sekarang dengan harapan para pemain negara dapat 'memanaskan badan' sekaligus mencapai tahap prestasi optimum sebaik sebelum Piala Suzuki AFF. Kemajuan sejak akhir-akhir ini tidak harus terlalu digembirakan; tetapi wajar menjadi inspirasi kepada kemajuan jangka masa panjang. Semoga pendekatan komprehensif yang dijalankan selama ini akan membuahkan hasil buat prestasi bola sepak negara, sekaligus membanggakan seluruh warga negara Malaysia.
Bola Malaysia 2008 : Ban on foreigners defangs Kedah

Malaysian clubs face an uphill task in the AFC Cup next year, thanks to the ban on recruiting foreigners
By Tan Boon Piaw
Kedah coach Mohd Azraai Khor could be forgiven for thinking his side stands little chance on the continental platform in 2009.
Kedah created Malaysian football history earlier this year by sweeping all three titles on offer in the land for the second time in a row but the performance was mainly turbocharged by a strong foreign legion.
But a blanket ban on all Malaysian Super League clubs against hiring foreigners can spell doom for continental glory aspirers like Kedah and Negeri Sembilan, both of whom are pencilled in for the AFC Cup next year.
Not surprisingly, the decision has caused much heart-burn and soul-searching.
“It is the other teams who had problems in either selecting good foreign players or paying their salaries,” Kedah FA President Azizan Abdul Razak lashed out at the FAM’s move.
“Kedah had no such issues with the imports. So why are we being made to suffer for the follies of others? Is it because the other teams could not find any other way to beat Kedah?” he wondered.
CONTRIBUTION
The statistics speak for themselves.
Marlon James, the St. Vincentian forward, scored 113 times in 134 games for Kedah, bundling in 23 goals this season in the Super League to walk away with Golden Boot.
Last season he was unstoppable with 40 goals in all competitions for the champions.
James received good support in the engine room from compatriot Bernard Huggins and Nelson San Martin of Chile.
“I don’t know what words to use to thank them for their contribution and effort in guiding Kedah into the Malaysian football history books. Our feat of winning six titles in two seasons is unbelievable,” said Azraai Khor.
“Without doubt, Kedah have the best three foreign players in Malaysia, and their services will be remembered in the history of Kedah football.”
“Everyone here is sad to see them leave, and I wish them all the best with their future teams,” added Azraai Khor.
AFTER-EFFECTS
Both Kedah and Perak - without their foreign stars - felt the bite in the recent AFC Cup quarter-finals when they were thrashed by Bahrain’s Al Muharraq and Lebanon’s Safa FC respectively.
This was after Martin and James bagged four goals each as Kedah won four out of six games in the group stage to finish second in their section.
“I know that if we had the three foreign players with us, things would have been different. And I would go so far as saying that we could have won the match against Muharraq in Bahrain," lamented Azraai Khor.
“I believe that we will struggle in next year's AFC Cup. It has been a bad decision (to ban the foreign players)."
CATCH-22
The FAM is, meanwhile, caught in a Catch-22 situation.
The radical decision to bar foreigners was ostensibly taken to give local talent enough playing time and lift the quality of the game which has plummeted in recent times.
“We are going to put the national team above all,” asserted Che Mat, FAM Vice-President. “Everything we plan will be in line with the objective of the national team.”
FAM Deputy President Khairy Jamaluddin has said the ban is for an “indefinite period”.
“It is a unanimous call. In fact, the teams which have qualified for the AFC Cup next year, also agreed that priority should be given to developing and strengthening the league.”
With the league kicking off soon and the AFC Cup campaign not scheduled until March next year, one only hopes there will be enough time for the FAM to test-drive the locals-only football and lift the ban urgently if needed.
