MALAYSIA TO HOST 2013 ASIA CUP

Malaysia is set to play host for the 2013 Asia Cup that offers a berth to the 2014 World Cup.

The decision to award the host job to Malaysia was taken at the Asian Hockey Federation Council meeting chaired by HRH Sultan Azlan Shah at Ipoh this morning.

Initially the hosting job was awarded to Singapore but it was changed at the meeting today.

“We have decided to award the host job to Malaysia and I am happy to announce that it will be held in Ipoh next year,” said AHF President Sultan Azlan Shah.

“The dates have yet to be determind as we will also have to take into consideration the annual Azlan Shah Cup.”

Malaysia last played in the World Cup in 2002 when they hosted the event. Prior to that Malaysia qualified for the 1998 Utrecht World Cup after a hiatus of 16 years with their previous appearance being in 1982 in Bombay.

Sultan Azlan was met after officiating the cerificate presentation ceremony for the Technical Officials course conducted jointly by the AHF-MHC.

At the ceremony it was also announced that the AHF-MHC Academy will now be known as the Raja Dato’ Seri Ashaman Academy, in honour of the second son of Sultan Azlan Shah who passed away on March 30 this year.

Sultan Azlan Shah also commented on the performance of the Malaysian team at the tournament.

“I am not happy with the performance as we concede easy goals, especially in the match against New Zealand,” said Sultan Azlan.

“We need to work on our defence as it leaks easily. But I must say I am pleased with the performance of the young players in the team as they have put up a decent performance.

“ This should form the team of the future for Malaysia and we have to give them the necessary exposure.”

Kalau Dharma Raj / Stephen Van Huizen / coach luar train, insya-Allah kita mampu..

Aussie coach says Malaysia must have a transition planBy AFTAR SINGH IPOH: Malaysia need to start investing in their junior players if they want to be serious contenders in international hockey.
This is the opinion of India coach Michael Nobbs, who said that despite having good players, Malaysia were underachievers as they tend to hold on to the older players longer than necessary.
“The lack of a gradual transition process is the reason for their failure to make an impact. There must be a constant infusion of young blood in a team,” said the Australian. Time to celebrate: The India hockey players having a good time dancing with performers on stage during the 21st Sultan Azlan Shah Cup dinner at Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh.

The veteran players in the national team are goalkeeper Roslan Jamaluddin, defender Mohd Amin Rahim, midfielder Azlan Misron and forward Hafifihafiz Hanafi.
The 34-year-old Roslan did not play a single match in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup while Mohd Rahim made costly blunders in defence. Hafifihafiz was easily the worst performer in the team and clearly did not justify his selection.
“Malaysia have a good set of young players and they proved it by winning the Junior Asia Cup in Malacca last month,” he said.
“They should be given more exposure in tournaments as they are the future. Those who featured in Ipoh did well.”
Nobbs said the Malaysian juniors should play in more international matches if they hope to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Holland.
“These players should be given utmost priority from now on. Playing more matches will be good preparation for the Junior World Cup in New Delhi next year,” said Nobbs, who took over as India coach eight months ago.
In that period he has guided India to the London Olympics and a 3-1 win over world No. 4 Britain for third place in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup

AHF name eight teams for Asia Cup

KUALA LUMPUR: Eight teams will square off for the right to earn a spot in the 2014 World Cup when Malaysia hosts the Asia Cup in Ipoh from Aug 24-Sept 1.
The Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) yesterday named the eight teams vying for the lone spot as the Asian continental champions.
Besides Malaysia, the other teams are 2010 Asian Games gold medallists Pakistan, South Korea, India, China, Japan, Bangladesh and Oman.
However, Malaysia, South Korea, Pakistan and India have a chance to clinch their World Cup ticket via the World League semi-finals.
Malaysia, South Korea and Pakistan are in the same group in the World League semi-finals. If all three finish in the top four of the tournament in Johor in June, then they will secure an automatic berth without having to worry about the Asia Cup.
India play in Round Two of the World League and are expected to make the cut for the semi-finals. There is a major likelihood that they will play in the semi-finals to be hosted by Holland in June.
AHF secretary general Tan Sri P. Alagendra said that the format and groupings would be decided later.
“The two groups of four teams each will play in the Asia Cup and the groupings will be released after March, when all eight teams have confirmed their entries,” he said after chairing the 62nd meeting of the AHF Council.

Hoki Piala Asia: Malaysia hadapi tugas berat

2 Februari 2013                    
        MALAYSIA bakal menggalas tugas berat dan mencabar untuk memburu tiket ke Piala Dunia 2014 apabila disenaraikan dalam Kumpulan A pada Kejohanan Hoki Piala Asia 2013 di Ipoh, Perak dari 24 Ogos hingga 1 September ini.

        Undian lapan pasukan bertanding di Stadium Hoki Sultan Azlan Shah, Ipoh, itu menyaksikan Malaysia berada dalam kumpulan bersama naib juara Pakistan, Jepun dan Oman.

        Manakala juara bertahan Korea Selatan disenaraikan dalam Kumpulan B bersama India, China dan Bangladesh.

        Setiausaha Agung Persekutuan Hoki Asia (AHF) Tan Sri P. Alagendra berkata, pembahagian kumpulan Piala Asia 2013 adalah berdasarkan senarai ranking dunia yang dikeluarkan oleh Persekutuan Hoki Antarabangsa (FIH).

        "Jadual perlawanan akan ditentukan pada akhir bulan depan selepas menerima pengesahan pasukan yang tersenarai," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mesyuarat majlis AHF ke-62, di sini hari ini.

        Bagaimanapun, katanya, Hong Kong dan Taiwan diletakkan sebagai pasukan simpanan sekiranya mana-mana pasukan yang tersenarai menarik diri.
           
        Berdasarkan ranking dunia, Pakistan menduduki tangga kelima, Korea Selatan (8), India (11), Malaysia (13), Jepun (16), China (18), Oman (36) dan Bangladesh di tangga ke-40.

        Sementara pasukan simpanan, Hong Kong di tangga ke-42 diikuti Taiwan di tangga ke 49.

        Juara Piala Asia 2013 di Ipoh nanti akan mewakili benua Asia pada Kejohanan Piala Dunia yang disertai 12 pasukan di The Hague, Belanda, dari 2 hingga 15 Jun 2014.

        Malaysia telah beraksi sebanyak enam kali pada Piala Dunia sejak 1973 dan kali terakhir menduduki tempat kelapan ketika Kuala Lumpur menjadi tuan rumah pada 2002.

        Malaysia gagal melayakkan diri ke Piala Dunia pada 2006 di Monchengladbach, Jerman dan 2010 di New Delhi, India.

        Pada Kejohanan Piala Asia lepas pada 2009 di Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia menduduki tempat keempat selepas kalah 7-6 kepada China dalam pukulan penalti selepas terikat 3-3 pada perlawanan penentuan tempat ketiga. - Bernama

Malaysia bakal dapat undian mudah
KUALA LUMPUR - Pasukan negara dijangka menerima undian mudah pada kejohanan  hoki Piala Asia di Ipoh dari 24 Ogos hingga 1 September ini.

Ketika mendedahkan jumlah pasukan yang layak berentap pada kejohanan  tersebut, Konfederasi Hoki Asia (AHF) menjelaskan, kedudukan kumpulan akan  ditentukan berdasarkan ranking dunia oleh Persekutuan Hoki Antarabangsa (FIH).

Pasukan yang layak bertanding pada Piala Asia 2013 adalah penyandang juara,  Korea Selatan, pemenang pingat emas Sukan Asia, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Jepun  serta dua pasukan yang dinaikkan dari divisyen dua, Bangladesh dan Oman.

"Undian akan dilakukan penghujung Mac selepas menerima pengesahan penyertaan  semua pasukan bertanding.
"Kedudukan kumpulan akan dibuat berdasarkan ranking FIH,'' kata Setiausaha  Agung AHF, Tan Sri P. Alagendra selepas mesyuarat majlis ke-62 badan hoki Asia  di sini, semalam.

Sekiranya keputusan dibuat berdasarkan ranking semasa, bermakna  Kumpulan A bakal membariskan Pakistan, Malaysia, Jepun dan Oman.
Korea Selatan pula mengetuai Kumpulan B bersama India, China dan Bangladesh.

Piala Asia 2013 pada awalnya dijadual berlangsung di Singapura tetapi AHF  menyerahkan hak penganjuran kepada Malaysia selepas negara jiran itu menamatkan  kejohanan divisyen dua di tangga keenam.

Sasar juara Piala Asia: Nur Azmi

Oleh Saiful Affendy Sapran
Kuala Lumpur:  Meskipun ada yang menganggap skuad negara hanya tinggal selangkah lagi untuk ke Piala Dunia di The Hague, Belanda selepas menamatkan saingan di tempat kelima pada kejohanan separuh akhir Liga Hoki Dunia, Konfederasi Hoki Malaysia (MHC) tetap berpendirian skuad negara wajar layak secara merit menerusi satu tiket ditawarkan di Piala Asia, bulan depan.
Bukan menidakkan peluang yang mungkin hadir itu, tetapi Naib Presiden Kanan MHC Datuk Nur Azmi Ahmad berkata, hanya tiket Piala Asia benar-benar menjamin tempat ke Piala Dunia berbanding berada dalam situasi ‘menunggu’ baki slot ke pentas tertinggi itu selepas berakhir lima saingan antara benua termasuk Piala Asia.

“Benar, kita berada dalam senarai menunggu atau simpanan, tetapi kita tidak boleh berfikir seperti itu.

“Kita perlu buktikan mampu layak secara merit ke Piala Dunia. Apapun saya tak nafikan penamat kelima di Johor Bahru sedikit sebanyak mencerahkan peluang ke Piala Dunia.


“Sekarang kita fokus dulu pada Piala Asia dan tidak perlu fikir pasal perkara lain. Saya percaya Piala Asia juga menjadi fokus utama pemain ketika ini,” katanya.

Penamat tempat kelima di Johor Bahru menyaksikan skuad negara menduduki ranking ketiga dalam senarai menunggu iaitu di belakang Korea Selatan dan Sepanyol dan dikatakan hampir 90 peratus berpeluang layak ke Piala Dunia.

Juara bagi lima kejohanan antara benua, antaranya termasuk Piala Asia diberi tiket automatik ke Piala Dunia.

Bermakna, sekiranya pasukan yang sudah layak ke Piala Dunia pada saingan Liga Hoki Dunia muncul juara di kejohanan benua masing-masing, slot mereka itu bakal diserahkan kepada pasukan yang berada dalam senarai menunggu.

Pada saingan di Ipoh, skuad negara diundi dalam Kumpulan A bersama Taiwan, Pakistan dan Jepun sementara Kumpulan B dihuni Korea Selatan, India, Bangladesh dan Oman.

AYUH! KITA MARA UTK CHUA BOON HUAT!
Sukhairi Thani

Kuala Lumpur: Kapten skuad hoki negara, Mohd Shahrun Nabil Abdullah menuntut rakan sepasukan memfokuskan tumpuan penuh ke arah cabaran Piala Asia di Ipoh, hujung bulan ini sekalipun masi...h diselubungi kesedihan kehilangan nadi pasukan, Chua Boon Huat yang terbunuh dalam kemalangan, Khamis lalu.

  Akur kehilangan penyerang itu merentap semangatnya dan rakan sepasukan lain, tetapi Shahrun berkata satu-satunya cara untuk mengingati dan menghargai sumbangan mendiang ialah dengan menjulang Piala Asia 2013 sekali gus menempah tiket ke Piala Dunia di Belanda tahun depan.

  Mendiang memang berharap untuk membantu pasukan layak ke Piala Dunia selepas gagal di Kejohanan Separuh Akhir Liga Dunia di Johor Bahru bulan lalu yang menyaksikan kami sekadar menamatkan saingan di tangga kelima keseluruhan.


Lakar kejutan

Jadi, kami akan cuba memenuhi impian mendiang pada peluang terakhir di Ipoh, hujung bulan ini, katanya semalam.

  Piala Asia dijadual berlangsung dari 24 Ogos hingga 1 September ini yang menyaksikan Malaysia diundi dalam Kumpulan A bersama Taiwan, Pakistan dan Jepun manakala Kumpulan B membabitkan Korea Selatan, India, Bangladesh dan Oman. Juara kejohanan akan layak automatik ke Belanda.

  Shahrun bagaimanapun optimis dengan kemampuan pasukan mengungguli kejohanan itu, apa lagi skuad kendalian Paul Revington sudah membuktikan kemampuan bersaing dengan pasukan terbaik dunia termasuk dari Eropah.

  Dua pasukan yang mengungguli kejohanan ini sebanyak tiga kali iaitu Korea dan Pakistan diakui pasukan pilihan, tetapi kami yakin mampu melakar kejutan menewaskan mereka sekali gus meraih tiket ke Belanda, katanya

WE'LL DO IT FOR BOON HUAT!
Story and pictures by Allan Netto

...  WINNING the Asia Cup will be the best thing Malaysia can do for the late Chua Boon Huat, who was killed in a car accident two days ago. The Asia Cup started in 1982 and Malaysia’s best achievement was third in 2007 under Sarjit Singh.

National manager George Koshy said: “The best thing the player can do is win the Asia Cup for Chua.” After the tragic accident on Thursday morning, Paul Revington put the hard times aside and dragged his troops to training last night.

However, the loss of such a notable player was clear, as the players paid tribute to the 33 year-old striker before they began their training session last night by placing a wreath and their hockey sticks at the bench where Boon Huat used to sit.

They also observed a minute’s silence. The national squad observing a minute’s silence before yesterday’s training. “It will take some time for them to get over it, but the faster we do it the better it will be for us,” said George.

“We need to compose ourselves, get the players on the pitch and keep their focus on the game.”

The Asia Cup from Aug 24-Sept 1 will see Malaysia in Group A with Pakistan, Japan and China, while in Group B are defending champions South Korea, India, Oman and Bangladesh. Only the champions of the Asia Cup will make the cut for the World Cup, however Malaysia can still sneak in through the back door as their fifth place finish at the recent World League Semifinals in Johor could still earn them a ticket – depending on the results of the continental championships.

“They know how serious the Asia Cup is. The goal is to qualify for the World Cup. If we can work towards winning it and dedicating it to Chua, it will be something he will be proud of,” added George.

KUALA LUMPUR: The national hockey players and officials are still “shattered” and “shocked” over the death of Chua Boon Huat.


The 33-year-old forward, the most capped player in the national team, died in a car accident along the Damansara-Puchong Highway at 3am on Thursday.

National coach Paul Revington said that the players had a gym training in Bukit Jalil yesterday morning and they were all “absolutely still in shock”.

“We need to go through this together,” said the South African coach.

The players had a light training session at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil after breaking fast earlier in the day.

Revington said that all the players would attend Boon Huat’s funeral in Malacca on Monday.

The 25 players in the training squad are preparing for the Asia Cup in Ipoh from Aug 24-Sept 1.

Eight teams will feature in the tournament. Malaysia are in Group A with Pakistan, Japan and Taiwan while defending champions South Korea, India, Bangladesh and Oman are in Group B.

Malaysia must win to seal a place in next year’s World Cup in The Hague, Holland.

National assistant coach S. Arul Selvaraj, who broke down at the University Hospital mortuary on Thursday, said that goalkeeper Roslan Jamaluddin was most affected by Boon Huat’s death.

“Roslan and Boon Huat were good buddies as they played together for Malaysia in the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games and won the silver medal,” said Arul.

“Roslan just couldn’t believe that Boon Huat is dead ... he is still in a state of shock.”

Arul said that he would discuss with Revington whether to call up another player.

“We only have three more weeks to prepare for the Asia Cup and will start our normal training tomorrow,” he said.

“We may train on Sunday as the players will take a break on Monday to attend the funeral.”

Paul Revington

KUALA LUMPUR - Persiapan skuad hoki kebangsaan bagi menghadapi Piala Asia  pada 24 Ogos ini di Ipoh, Perak tidak akan terjejas walaupun kehilangan mendiang  Chua Boon Huat, sebaliknya akan tampil dengan strategi yang lebih kuat.
Jurulatih skuad kebangsaan, Paul Revington berkata, motivasi dalam kalangan  pemain kini semakin bagus terutama selepas menghadiri majlis penghormatan  terakhir mendiang kelmarin.
Boon Huat meninggal dunia pada usia 33 tahun dalam kemalangan jalan raya di  Lebuh Raya Damansa ra-Puchong, awal pagi Khamis lalu.
Kata Revington, pasukan kini lebih bersemangat untuk menghadapi Piala Asia  dan berusaha menjuarai kejohanan tersebut sebagai hadiah buat mendiang.
“Bagi saya tiada apa yang mustahil pada kejohanan tersebut dan pasukan sudah  seratus peratus bersedia untuk kejohanan tersebut.
“Chua (Boon Huat) akan sentiasa berada dalam ingatan kami semua dan dalam  masa sama juga pasukan perlu fokus dengan misi utama pada kejohanan tersebut  nanti," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mengumumkan nama 16 pemain skuad  kebangsaan yang bakal menghadapi Piala Asia 2013, di sini, semalam.
Senarai 16 pemain diumumkan itu kebanyakan adalah pemain yang sama beraksi  pada kejohanan separuh akhir Liga Hoki Dunia di Johor Bahru bulan lepas.
Revington mempertaruhkan lebih banyak pemain serangan dalam misi kali ini  manakala dua lagi nama akan diumumkan pada 16 Ogos ini.
Sementara itu, Revington berkata, corak permainan serangan mungkin menjadi  pilihannya dan dalam masa sama tidak mengabaikan jentera pertahanan.
“Ya, memang banyak pemain serangan dalam senarai kali ini dan ada  kemungkinan kami akan tumpukan kepada corak serangan.
“Dua lagi nama yang bakal dipanggil nanti mungkin juga terdiri dalam  kalangan pemain tengah dan mungkin serangan. Bagi saya dalam kalangan pemain  yang ada ini saya rasakan kita belum dapat mencari pengganti buat Chua," kata  Revington.
Skuad hoki kebangsaan akan memulakan kem latihan di Ipoh pada 11 hingga 15  Ogos ini dan selepas itu akan mengadakan dua perlawanan persahabatan menentang  India pada 20 Ogos serta Oman pada 22 Ogos ini.
