Liverpool Legend Ian Rush Set To Hold Football Clinic in Jakarta

Since retiring nearly a decade ago as one of the English game’s top strikers, Welsh football legend Ian Rush has taken it upon himself to spread his knowledge of the game to young players.

Over the weekend, kids in Jakarta will have a chance to learn first-hand tips from the Hall of Fame footballer during a series of programs supported by the British Chamber of Commerce.

Rush, who will be in Jakarta on Saturday and Sunday, will hold coaching clinics and take part in activities under the British Chamber of Commerce’s “Giving Kids a Sporting Chance” community program.

Around 300 kids from the ages of 7 to 10 are expected to attend the event, which will also benefit a number of causes, including environmental projects and children’s education.

The event will also feature teams from the BritCham/Mama Sayang football league and street children from the KDM Green Project.

KDM is a nongovernmental organization that collects and recycles materials from the British Embassy and uses the funds to support and educate children.

Over the last six months, more than 1,500 children have been part of the “Giving Kids a Sporting Chance” program, with BritCham arranging for nearly all of the kids to attend this season’s closing event at Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium, Jakarta, on Saturday.

Rush’s appearance is a joint initiative involving BritCham and Permata Bank.

“Apart from giving kids a special memory, our goal is to make sure that Ian goes back to [the United Kingdom] and tells everyone what a great and happening place Indonesia is,” BritCham executive director Chris Wren said in a statement.

One of the Premier League’s top strikers during the 1980s and ’90s, Rush will forever be linked to Liverpool, where he had two stints from 1980-87 and 1988-96. He also had spells at seven other clubs, including a season with Italian club Juventus in 1987-88.

As a member of the Wales national team, Rush earned 73 caps and scored 28 goals.

He last saw action for Sydney Olympic in the Australian League before he retired in 2000. In 2006, Rush was inducted to the English Football Hall of Fame.

Drogba Factor Gives Chelsea the Edge in Final

London - Didier Drogba’s knack for scoring goals at Wembley and against Portsmouth are two of the reasons why Chelsea is an overwhelming favorite to finish the season with its first-ever league and FA Cup double.

After clinching the Engliaag Premier League title with an emphatic 8-0 victory over Wigan last weekend, when Drogba scored three times to earn the golden boot as the competition’s top scorer, Chelsea has all the ingredients to make Saturday’s Cup final against Portsmouth a one-sided affair.

Relegated from the Premier League as a last-place finisher and deep in financial trouble, Portsmouth is hoping to follow up its surprise semifinal victory over Tottenham with an even bigger shock at Wembley.

But Chelsea has the Drogba factor and the 32-year-old Ivory Coast striker is hungry to add to his five goals at the home of English football and six in games against Portsmouth.

“That pitch brings me a lot of luck,” Drogba said on Thursday. “It is something we really want to achieve, it won’t be easy because Portsmouth have been focused and it will be a happy ending for them after their season, but this next week is so important for us.”

Drogba has been at Chelsea for six seasons, helping the team win three league titles as well as two FA Cups and two League Cups.

“This is the best season of my career,” he said. “My third season here I scored 33 goals, and 20 goals in the league, this one I scored 29 in the league.”

With Drogba’s scoring success and Chelsea’s emphatic last game triumph to capture the league title, it all points to an easy victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s team as the former AC Milan coach chases the double triumph in his first season in English football.

There was a scare when John Terry left Wednesday’s training session with his right foot in a protective boot, prompting fears he had broken a bone. But he said that was just a precaution and the Chelsea captain was back in training on Thursday.

Portsmouth now has former Chelsea manager Avram Grant in charge and, although the Israeli was unable to keep the team in the Premier League, he has the chance to beat the club he guided to the Champions League final in 2008.

“Avram’s been great since he’s been here,” Portsmouth midfielder Hayden Mullins said.

“He’s a brilliant coach and a good motivator. Hopefully he can come up with a trick that will stifle Chelsea.”

Mullins said Portsmouth could use its underdog status to pull off the latest Cup final surprise in the long history of the competition, after beating Tottenham 2-0 in the semifinals.

“There’s no pressure on us. The pressure’s on Chelsea,” he said. “The longer we keep them quiet, the more the pressure mounts.”

"Only Firdasari that had demonstrated her maximal effort. She has given the best of her capability," he said.
He said the first single and double players might have felt burdened so that they could not perform maximally.

"The first double players should have been able to give better fight but they have not so that they lost the game more easily than expected," he said.

Regarding Maria he admitted that the player as young as she would not as yet be ready to saddle the heavy burden of becoming the first player in such a big tournament.

"On the positive side, she now has had a better capital to play in the next Uber Cup," he said.

Chinese team manager Li Yongbo said the Indonesia team had played well and shown improvement and he was glad his team went to the finals to meet the South Korean team for the sixth time now.

Against the Korean team which has never won the Uber Cup tournament he said he predicted the match would be quite tough but believed the results would be like in the previous matches.

"China will beat them for the sixth time," he said. The finals will take place on Saturday at 2pm local time.
