MHL : Embaraj: Players must learn to control their temper

Sapura coach K. Embaraj wants his players to keep their tempers in check.

He said that there were many scuffles in a tense Malaysia Hockey League Division One match against Ernst and Young at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium on Wednesday.



“My player, S. Kuhan (pic), lost his cool and shouted at Ernst and Young’s Megat Azrafiq Megat Termizi over a foul. Both players were also yelling at the umpires. I was disappointed with Kuhan as he went for Azrafiq after the match,’’ said Embaraj.

“Kuhan is an experienced player and he must learn to keep his cool. He apologised after the incident to the team officials and the player but it should not have happened.”

“I want my players to win the remaining two matches to finish as league runner-up,’’ said Embaraj.

Sapura, powered by two South Korean players, will play against Nur Insafi at the Kuala Lumpur Hockey Stadium today and they will wrap up the league fixtures against the National Juniors on Sunday at the same venue.

Sapura and Tenaga Nasional are tied on 12 points from eight matches.
