Safee Sali ke sertai Pelita Jaya

PENYERANG utama skuad Liga Super Selangor, Safee Sali sah akan menyertai kelab Indonesia, Pelita Jaya pada 14 Februari depan.

Pengumuman berhubung perkara itu dibuat Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Selangor (FAS), Datuk Mokhtar Ahmad pada satu sidang media khas di Wisma FAS, Kelana Jaya pada jam 2.30 petang tadi.

Sidang media itu turut dihadiri Safee sendiri, Setiausaha Agung FAS, Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin dan pengurus merangkap ketua jurulatih Selangor, K. Devan.

Menurut Mokhtar, pihak FAS telah menerima permohonan daripada tiga kelab Indonesia yang cuba mendapatkan Safee dan akhirnya tawaran dibuat Pelita Jaya dianggap yang terbaik.

"Kita tak menggunakan ejen. FAS sendiri bertindak sebagai ejen kepada Safee. Mujur Datuk Hamidin mempunyai hubungan erat dengan pegawai bola sepak di Indonesia.

"Jadi kita telah memilih Pelita Jaya. Kontrak telah disediakan dan majlis menandatanganinya akan diadakan pada Isnin depan (14 Februari) di Indonesia," kata Mokhtar.

Namun FAS tidak mendedahkan berapa jumlah bayaran dikenakan terhadap Pelita Jaya sebagai menebus kontrak Safee bersama Selangor sebenarnya hanya akan berakhir pada November depan.

Menurut Hamidin, pihak FAS dan Pelita Jaya telah bersetuju untuk tidak mendedahkan nilai perpindahan dan juga jumlah gaji yang bakal diterima Safee.

"Safee akan mengikat kontrak selama setahun bersama Pelita Jaya iaitu sehingga 31 Januari 2012.

"Terdapat juga syarat dalam kontrak itu yang menyatakan Safee perlu kembali ke Selangor andai kontraknya bersama Pelita Jaya berakhir nanti.

"Jadi Safee akan beraksi perlawanan terakhirnya bersama Selangor pada Sabtu ini iaitu bertemu Kuala Lumpur di Stadium Shah Alam.

"Sebagai penghormatan terakhir, Safee akan menjadi kapten pada perlawanan menentang Kuala Lumpur itu yang juga adalah bekas pasukannya," jelas Hamidin.

Di Pelita Jaya nanti, Safee akan turut menyarung jersi No. 10 sama seperti yang dikenakannya sepanjang lima musim bersama Selangor.

Bagi Safee, 27, pula, keputusannya untuk berhijrah ke Liga Indonesia dan menjadi pemain Malaysia pertama beraksi bersama kelab Indonesia sesuatu yang cukup besar demi memajukan kariernya.

"Saya anggap ini satu peluang yang tepat kerana usia saya sudah menjangkau 27 tahun. Kalau saya tak rebut, rasanya saya takkan mendapat peluang seperti ini lagi.

"Saya mempunyai alasan tertentu untuk memilih Pelita Jaya. Dengan bantuan FAS, saya rasa pilihan untuk menyertai kelab ini adalah tepat.

"Memang saya telah serahkan kepada FAS untuk membuat pilihan di antara tiga kelab ini. Saya juga dapati Pelita Jaya sesuai dengan cara permainan saya," kata Safee.

Jelas Safee lagi, dia sudah bersedia dari segi mental untuk menghadapi cabaran dan dugaan apabila beraksi di Liga Indonesia kelak.

"Memang saya dah bersedia. Saya dah fikirkan bahawa apabila beraksi di Indonesia, mental perlu kuat dan saya sendiri akan berusaha keras untuk meningkatkan kualiti permainan.

"Sasaran saya ialah untuk membantu Pelita Jaya memperbaiki kedudukan liga apabila saingan pusingan kedua bermula bulan depan.

"Sasaran peribadi pula, saya akan berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk berjaya di sana nanti," ujar Safee.

Kelibat Safee mula menjadi perhatian kelab-kelab Indonesia setelah menjadi penjaring terbanyak Piala Suzuki AFF 2010 serta membantu Malaysia muncul juara menewaskan Indonesia 4-2 secara agregat pada aksi final timbal balik.

Safee akan berlepas ke Indonesia pada Isnin depan dan dijangka bakal beraksi perlawanan sulung bersama Pelita Jaya pada awal bulan depan.

Safee yang dilahirkan di Kajang, Selangor tetapi dibesarkan di Tapah, Perak pada awal kariernya beraksi bersama Kuala Lumpur sebelum dia berhijrah ke Sarawak.

Safee kemudian menyertai Selangor pada penghujung Oktober 2006 untuk saingan Liga M 2006/07 tetapi disebabkan baru menjalani pembedahan ACL pada lutut kirinya, dia tidak dapat diturunkan pada awal musim tersebut.

Penampilan sulung Safee bersama pasukan Selangor ialah pada 24 Mac 2007 apabila dia masuk sebagai pemain gantian dan melakukan hantaran yang disudahkan Akmal Rizal Rakhli untuk gol kedua Selangor ketika menewaskan Pahang 2-0 pada aksi Liga Super di Stadium Shah Alam.

Gol sulung Safee bersama Selangor terhasil pada aksi keduanya iaitu ketika bertemu ATM di Stadium Selayang pada pusingan kedua Piala FA pada 27 Mac 2007.

Pada perlawanan tersebut, Safee masuk sebagai pemain gantian dan menjaringkan dua gol iaitu gol ketiga dan keempat Selangor untuk menewaskan ATM 4-1.

Brendan sedia timbang tawaran

JIKA Indonesia berbangga dengan pemain natrulisasinya dari Belanda, Irfan Bachdim, kini Malaysia juga mampu menguatkan lagi skuad kebangsaan dengan seorang pemain kelahiran Australia, Brendan Gan.

Pemain tengah Sydney FC itu kacukan Australia/Malaysia kini beraksi dalam Liga A Australia.

Pemain berusia 22 tahun ini dilahirkan dan dibesarkan di Sydney tetapi bapanya berasal dari Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

Mengikut peraturan Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA), dia layak mewakili Malaysia.

Baru-baru ini, Brendan sempat menonton aksi skuad bola sepak negara menerusi siaran langsung ketika saingan Piala Suzuki AFF 2010 dan dia mengakui kagum dengan corak serta taktikal yang dipraktikkan ketua jurulatih, K. Rajagobal.

Dalam satu temu bual khas dengan Astro Awani baru-baru ini, Brendan juga menegaskan bahawa kelab yang diwakilinya sekarang memberinya galakan beraksi dengan skuad kebangsaan Malaysia jika Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) mengambil keputusan memanggilnya.

Brendan selesa bermain di bahagian tengah, namun dia juga berupaya beraksi di bahagian sayap kanan dan kiri.

Mungkin FAM kini boleh menghantar jurulatih, Rajagobal atau jurulatih Harimau Muda A, Ong Kim Swee ke Sydney untuk meninjau dan melihat sendiri kemampuan Brendan beraksi dalam saingan Liga A Australia.

Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad sebelum ini mengesahkan bahawa badan induk bola sepak negara itu akan segera menghubungi Sydney FC bagi mendapatkan butiran terperinci mengenai Brendan sebelum memanggilnya untuk tugasan antarabangsa.

C. Ronaldo Junior” becomes Malaysian tourism ambassador

Malaysian soccer player Tam Sheang Tsung, 13, grabs media's attention when he is training in Brazil.


BOOTED UP ... Tam looking good to make the news in the J-League.


Tam Sheang Tsung, the first Malaysian to be recruited into the JLeague Division 2 Yokohama FC Under-15 team, is no stranger to the hard training regime.

Young soccer player Tam Sheang Tsung, also known as “C. Ronaldo Junior of Malaysia”, who is currently training in Brazil, grabs high attention from Brazilian media because of his Malaysian identity.

The media that rushed to interview 13-year-old Tam called him “Miura Kazuyoshi of Malaysia”. At the same time, Tam took the opportunity to introduce the beauty of Malaysia to the Brazilians.

Miura Kazuyoshi was a famous Japanese international player. He used to play for the Japan Professional Football League, which Tam is currently playing for. Miura was about the same age with Tam when he was sent to Brazil to learn “samba soccer”. He was among the first group of Japanese players being sent to Brazil. Since then, he became well-known to the world.

Tam's appearance in the São Paulo team has reminded Brazilian sport reporters of Miura. The reporters even praised him for having similar skills with Miura.

Four Brazilian newspapers and radios had conducted interview with Tam so far and Tam answered all their questions in fluent Portuguese.

Tam told Guang Ming Daily through email that the Brazilian reporters were interested in Malaysia and they kept asking about the country's conditions. As the Asia spokesperson for Aero Mexico , he was proud of himself to have introduced his nation to the foreigners through the interviews.
"His skills are impressive and he always plays hard."

He said that San Bernado has trained many soccer stars and Brazilian media usually focus on special players. That was why, he got their attention. However, he still felt unbelievable.

“So far, not many Malaysians have been trained in Brazil. Brazilian reporters are curious to see a Malaysian player there. Moreover, many reporters are here because of the Kendo World Competition held in São Paulo. They are searching for special topics, and they found me,” said Tam.

Tam said that Brazilians live for soccer. Their spirit encouraged him to do the best. He wished to stay in Brazil for another year and continue his secondary education there.

However, the Japanese may not “let him go”. He might able to only extend for another month instead of staying there for a longer period.

Tam has got the attention from the Malaysian government, too. The Malaysian Embassy in Japan wishes to meet him in October. Meanwhile, some of the soccer associations in Malaysia also wish to watch his skills in Japan.

However, the plan is temporarily unable to be implemented as Tam is currently training in Brazil. It is believed that the Malaysian government will have more interests in him after he has mastered the “samba soccer” skills.

In addition, Brazilian media reported that Tam's Brazilian coach thinks that he is brilliant and he may become a star in the future. His skills are impressive and he always plays hard. He possesses the Japanese spirit of “always do the best”.

The reports also said that Tam's skills have improved a lot since he has started the training in Brazil. He has gradually got used to the “samba soccer” that focus on striking.

When Tam was being asked whether he will play for Malaysia or Japan in the future, he modestly said that it is not appropriate for him to answer the question now as he thinks that his current skills have not yet reached the level of these two countries. He wishes to make his plan only after his skills have been improved.
