Lawan Tanding di Simulasi Piala Sudirman 2007 JAKARTA - Pengurus Besar Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PB PBSI) kian getol mematangkan persiapan menuju Piala Sudirman 2007. Untuk mempersiapkan diri merebut kembali trofi yang kali terakhir direbut pada 1989 tersebut, PB PBSI akan menyelenggarakan simulasi di GOR Bandung pada 21 April mendatang. ''Simulasi ini diselenggarakan sebagai salah satu jalan membentuk tim terbaik. Untuk memberikan pressure pada pemain pelatnas, kami akan mengikutkan pebulutangkis nonpelatnas dalam simulasi tersebut,'' jelas Lutfi Hamid, manajer Tim Piala Sudirman Indonesia, kemarin di Jakarta. Saat ini, PB PBSI telah menetapkan tim bayangan Piala Sudirman 2007. Ada 16 pebulutangkis pria dan 14 pebulu tangkis wanita. Semua pemain senior pelatnas masuk dalam tim bayangan. Di antaranya adalah, Taufik Hidayat, Vita Marisa, Luluk Hadiyanto, Gresya Polii, Markis Kido, dan Nova Widianto. Ada juga beberapa pemain muda seperti, Tommy Sugiarto, Joko Riyadi, Muhammad Rizal, Pia Zebadiah, dan Rani Mundiasti. Sementara itu, pemain nonpelatnas yang diikutkan dalam simulasi nanti besar kemungkinan adalah pasangan Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto. Ganda juara dunia 1997 dan juara Piala Thomas (1998, 2000, 2002) itu berpisah setelah Candra memutuskan meninggalkan pelatnas dan berpasangan mantan pemain pelatnas, Tony Gunawan. Sigit menyusul akhir tahun lalu dan kini bermain untuk klub Djarum. Tampilnya Candra/Sigit diharapkan bisa memberikan tekanan tersendiri pada pebulu tangkis pelatnas. Kalau sampai pemain pelatnas kalah dari mereka, berarti tidak ada salahnya tim Indonesia diwakili oleh pemain nonpelatnas. ''Selain berencana mendatangkan Candra/Sigit, kami juga akan menyelenggarakan simulasi kedua pada akhir Mei nanti di Batam. Dalam simulasi ini, lawannya kemungkinan adalah Tim Malaysia, kebetulan pada saat itu mereka baru saja berlaga di Indonesia Super Series,'' lanjut Lutfi. Menurut Lutfi, saat ini, seluruh pemain dan pelatih pelatnas harus bekerja superkeras untuk bisa memboyong Piala Sudirman. Apalagi, hal itu telah diamanatkan Presiden RI, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), ketika berkunjung ke markas pelatnas di Cipayung beberapa waktu lalu. ''Sangat Berat!'' tegas Lutfi mengenai kans Indonesia mewujudkan keinginan Presiden. Hal itu disebabkan lemahnya sektor tunggal dan ganda wanita. Jangankan bersaing dengan Tiongkok, dengan negara-negara seperti Malaysia, Korea Selatan, dan Denmark saja Indonesia sangat sulit bersaing di nomor tersebut. Dengan hitungan kehilangan poin di nomor tunggal dan ganda wanita, Indonesia harus sempurna pada tiga nomor lain untuk bisa membawa pulang trofi Piala Sudirman. ''Hitungan di atas kertas, kita memang kesulitan untuk bisa menjadi juara. Namun, dengan kebersamaan dan kerja keras semua pemain dan pelatih, kita bisa menunjukkan kekuatan yang luar biasa,'' yakin Lutfi. Meniru Rexy Sementara itu, sukses Malaysia melahirkan ganda pria tangguh Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong menjadi perhatian sendiri bagi Lutfi. Menurut pria yang sukses menjadi manajer Indonesia ketika juara Piala Thomas dan Uber tersebut, mereka sukses berkat kepintaran Rexy Mainaky memberikan motivasi. ''Bibit yang ada di Malaysia dan Indonesia sebenarnya sama. Kalau bukan Rexy yang pintar memotivasi pemainnya, mereka (Koo/Tan, red) tidak akan bisa menjadi juara. Makanya tidak salah jika kemudian kita meniru Rexy dalam memotivasi pemainnya,'' jelas Lutfi. (ang/indopos.co.id)
Candra/Sigit's coming to simulation, pelatnas hope to give pressure to the Pelatnas players. If they lose to candra/sigit, it means that there is a chance that indo team can have non-pelatnas plyrs. According to Lufti, pelatnas players have to work very hard to bring back Sudirman trophy to Indonesia. Moreover, President RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) had said that he wanted the trophy for Indonesia when he visited PBSI which is located in Indonesia. "Very hard!" Lufti declared about fulfilling what Mr SBY's wanted. This is because Indonesia is weak in WD and WS. No need to speak about beating China, even countries like Mas, Denmark and South Korea is too hard. With not counting WD and WS, INA team has got to be perfect in the other 3 sectors, which is MD, Md and XD, to bring back the Sudirman trophy. "On black and white, it is hard to win. But, with teamwork and hard work of all plyers and coaches, we can show people an extra ordinary power." Lufti assured. Well, some info..
Because INA is the creator of Sudirman Cup so it's very embarrasing after 8 times INA always failed to bring back SC to its homeland. Sounds like mission impossible to grab the SC from CHN who totally very strong recently. On paper, CHN only needs 1 point from the other-3 divisions MS/MD/XD against any contingents : INA/MAS/DEN/KOR. So INA must win in all-three divisions that we know really2 difficult. With togetherness and workhard from all players and coaches to born extraordinary power, is it possible?? That's a HOPE.
Greysia will be almost certainly be paired with Vita Marissa, unless Vita is injured. Unfortunately, Jo will have to be paired with a new partner.
Well, Yan, I do study in Singapore you know, I need English as a mother tounge, lol, although it's not...
Candra/Sigit have an opportunity to become INA Sudirman core-team member. Their experiences and professionalism are being valued still needed by INA for mixed-team championship. "Don't look just PBSI side,this will bring country honourable. Wish they can help us," said Lutfi Hamid, INA Sudirman Team Manager in Jakarta (Wednesday,18/4). Simulation-match INA Sudirman-team: MS : Tommy (R) vs TH (H) ; Sony (R) vs Simon (H) WS : Firda (R) vs Pia (H) ; Nana (R) vs Maria Kristin (H) MD : Joko Riyadi/Hendra Aprida (R) vs Luluk/Alvent (H) Markis/Hendra Setiawan (R) vs Candra/Sigit (H) WD : Gresyia/Lita Nurlita (R) vs Rani/Endang (H) XD : Nova/Lilyana (R) vs Flandy/Vita Marissa (H) Note -- R = Rajawali (eagle) and H = Harimau (tiger) Source: KOMPAS,19/04/07.
