This time I wanted to discuss one of the best football players who had been had the Africa. Came from Nigeria, he was one of the football artist who really was admired by me. He was Jay Jay Okocha.

Success in Germany, Okocha was attracted the club Turkey,Fenerbache, and playing there for 2 years (1996-98) played 63 times and scored 30 goals.Fertile enough for the measurement of a midfield.From Turkey, France was occupied by him for 4 years (1998-2002), that is in the club Paris Saint Germain (PSG). Only 12 total goals from 84 playing times, but Okocha became increasingly famous since playing in this club.

Hanya semusim (2006-2007) dan bermain sebanyak 41 kali, Okocha berhasil mencetak 6 gol. Kabar terakhir, di ujung karir sang legenda ini adalah Okocha kembali ke tanah Inggris. Dia bermain bagi kesebelasan Hull City di Championship Division, satu divisi di bawah EPL.Dia mengakhiri karirnya sebagai pemain bola di klub itu. Di Hull City, Okocha hanya bermain 18 kali dan tidak mencetak satu gol pun.Total gol yang dicetak Okocha selama karirnya di klub adalah 80 gol dari 402 penampilan.
Okocha then landed in England.Played in English Premiere League (EPL) with the Bolton Wanderers for 4 years (2002-2006), Okocha was in fact chosen as the captain, a matter that was appropriate owing to the experience and leadership,although also in the last season with Bolton Okocha only scored one goal from 27 appearances.Be finished was assigned in Bolton, Jay Jay Okocha tried his fortune to the Asian continent.

Satu catatan penting lagi, Jay Jay Okocha menjadi bagian dari generasi emas anak-anak muda Nigeria yang meraih medali emas pada Olimpiade 1996 Atlanta. Teman-teman seperjuangannya beberapa telah pensiun dan beberapa masih aktif. Nwanko Kanu dan Celetine Babayaro adalah salah satu yang masih aktif. Kanu bahkan akan bermain di Olimpiade Beijing 2008.Yang telah pensiun seperti Daniel Amokachi,Victor Ikpeba atau Tarobo West. Total Okocha bermain di tim nasional adalah sebanyak 75 kali dan mencetak 14 gol.Dia memilih Piala Afrika tahun 2006 sebagai penampilan terakhirnya di tim nasional Nigeria dalam turnamen resmi.Namun dia merayakan hari pensiunnya secara resmi melalui suatu pertandingan persahabatan di kota Warri, Nigeria pada tanggal 26 Juni 2008 antara tim "Super Elang" Nigeria melawan tim Afrika XI,dan Okocha pensiun dalam usia 35 tahun.

Rally Obor Olimpiade Jakarta 2008 -The 2008 Jakarta Olympic Torch Relay

Sebenarnya ini bukan olimpiade pertama yang dipenuhi dan dicampuri oleh kasus politik.Nyaris dalam setiap berlangsungnya Olimpiade selalu diwarnai oleh kontroversi dan isu-isu yang sebenarnya tidak secara langsung berhubungan dengan Olimpiade itu sendiri.Begitu pula dengan Olimpiade 2008 yang akan berlangsung di Beijing,RRC pada tanggal 8 sampai 24 Agustus 2008.Olimpiade kali ini diwarnai isu mengenai pelanggaran HAM yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah China terhadap rakyat Tibet.Disamping ada juga yang mencoba mengaitkan Olimpiade ini dengan kasus keterlibatan China di Darfur,Sudan.Akhirnya acara Rally Obor Olimpiade yang berlangsung di seluruh dunia pun diwarnai protes dan unjuk rasa para pendukung Tibet yang mencoba menarik perhatian dari acara besar ini.Begitu pula ketika Obor ini menghampiri Jakarta,Indonesia,pada hari Minggu tanggal 22 April 2008.Meskipun pemerintah Indonesia melalui Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga (Menpora) Adhyaksa Dault sudah mencoba meyakinkan pemerintah China bahwa Indonesia adalah negara yang berbeda daripada negara-negara yang telah dilintasi Obor Olimpade sebelumnya, dan memberikan jaminan keamanan yang cukup besar atas perjalanan Obor ini di Jakarta, tetap tak cukup meyakinkan pemerintah China atas kekhawatiran mereka.Akhirnya terselenggara jugalah Rally Obor ini dalam suasana sangat tertutup.Diadakan di Stadion Utama Senayan,stadion sepakbola terbesar di Asia Tenggara - dan salah satu yang terbesar di Asia - hanya boleh dihadiri oleh para undangan dan wartawan saja.Obor pertama kali dibawa oleh Fauzi Bowo,Gubernur Jakarta,dan dilanjutkan oleh pembawa obor lainnya.Perjalanan obor hanya berlangsung sekitar lingkar luar stadion saja,sementara gerbang sudah ditutup mulai dari gerbang paling luar dari kompleks stadion.Acara sebenarnya berlangsung meriah,walaupun masyarakat luas tidak dapat menyaksikannya.Pembawa obor adalah orang-orang pilihan,diantara juara olimpiade Taufik Hidayat dan atlet basket Denny Sumargo.Tak ketinggalan artis sinetron,si cantik Luna Maya.Tampak pula beberapa mantan atlet nasional dalam acara ini,seperti Syamsul Anwar Harahap, Ellyas Pical dan Chris John dari tinju,dan Perry Pantouw dari judo.Juga ketua KONI Rita Subowo serta Menpora Adhyaksa Dault.Bolasinema sendiri hanya mampu meliput acara yang berlangsung di luar pawai itu sendiri,dan baru dapat memasuki stadion ketika pawai sudah selesai.Seperti yang anda lihat di movie kita ini,masyarakat tertahan di pintu gerbang terluar saja,tak dapat masuk.Dan itu menimbulkan kemacetan yang lumayan panjang di sekitar stadion.Barulah ketika pawai selesai,penonton dapat masuk.
In fact this is not first olympic games were filled and interfered by the politically case.Almost in every time took place Olympic were always influenced by the controversy and actual rumours not directly was connected with the Olympic itself. Also the Olympic 2008 that will take place in Beijing, China 8 until 24 August 2008. This Olympic were this time influenced by rumours concerning the violation of human rights that were carried out by the China government against the community Tibet. Beside there also are those that tried to connect these Olympic with the China case in Darfur, Sudan. Finally the Olympic Torch Relay all over the world then was coloured by the protest and the demonstration of the Tibetan supporters who tried to attract attention from this big agenda.So also when this Torch approached Jakarta, Indonesia, on Sunday on April 22, 2008.Although the Indonesian government through the Youth Affairs and Sport minister Adhyaksa Dault has tried to convince the China government that Indonesia was the country that was different than countries that were crossed the Olympic Torch beforehand, and gave the security guarantee that was enough bear on this Torch trip in Jakarta, continued to be not convincing enough the China government on the concern mereka.Finally also carried out Relay this Torch in the really close atmosphere. Held in the Senayan Main Stadium, the biggest football stadium in South-East Asia, and some that were biggest in Asia, only might be attended by guests and the reporter only.The torch first time being brought by Fauzi Bowo, Jakarta Governor, and was continued by the other torch bearer.The torch trip only took place around the outside circle of the stadium, while the gate has been closed starting from when the gate was most outside from the complex stadium. The in fact took place merry, although the wider community could not watch it.The torch bearer was people of the choice, around the olympic games champion of Taufik Hidayat and the basketball athlete of Denny Sumargo.There's also the film artist, the pretty Luna Maya.Look also several the former national athletes in this agenda, like Syamsul Anwar Harahap, Ellyas Pical and Chris John from the boxing, and Perry Pantouw from judo.Also the chairman of Indonesian National Sport Committee Rita Subowo as well as The Minister of Youth and Sport Adhyaksa Dault.Bolasinema personally only could cover the agenda that took place apart from the procession personally, and just could enter the stadium when the procession already finish.As that you seen you in movie below, the community was kept in the most outside main gate, could not entry.And it caused the moderate impasse long around stadion.When the procession was finished, the spectator could enter.

Tetapi tetap senang saja melihat para atlet dan mantan atlet berkumpul di satu tempat. Ada kegairahan disana.Memang sangat disayangkan Obor Olimpiade yang baru untuk pertamakali ini mampir ke Indonesia dan entah kapan akan datang lagi, tak dapat disaksikan oleh masyarakat luas,dan hanya dapat dinikmati oleh segelintir orang. Memang ada ada juga yang berunjuk rasa di sekitar stadion, tetapi jumlahnya sangat sedikit dan tidak signifikan dibandingkan dengan orang yang sangat antusias menonton peristiwa bersejarah ini.Mudah-mudahan ini kasus terakhir melibatkan peristiwa olahraga dengan peristiwa politik.Olahraga dan politik adalah dua hal berbeda.Hanya olahraga kegiatan di dunia ini yang mampu menyatukan begitu banyak manusia dari berbagai suku bangsa,etnis,agama,warna kulit dan golongan politik. Semoga tayangan singkat yang disajikan Bolasinema tak mengecewakan para pembaca.Tanpa bermaksud mengurangi simpati kepada rakyat Tibet, anggap saja Bolasinema mewakili aspirasi masyarakat kecil yang kecewa tak dapat melihat peristiwa olahraga besar hanya karena terhalang oleh peristiwa lain yang tak hubungannya dengan olahraga. Salam Olahraga!
But it just still happy to see the athletes and the former gathered athlete in one place.There was the passion there.Well it really was regretted the Olympic Torch that was new to the first time this dropped by at Indonesia and don't know when will come again, could not be witnessed by the wider community, and only could enjoyed by a small number of people.Indeed there was many people that is demonstrating around the stadium, but the amount very few and not significant compared with the very enthusiastic person watched the incident being historic ini.We hope this the last case involved the sport incident with the political incident.Sport and politics was two different matters.Only the activity sport in this world that could unite so many humankind from various ethnic groups, etnic, the religion, the colour of skin and the group of politics.It is hoped the short presentation that was presented by Bolasinema did not disappoint the readers.Without meant reduced the sympathy to the Tibetan people, regarded Bolasinema represented the aspirations of the small community that was disappointed to be able to not see the big sport incident only because hindered by the other incident that not his relations with sport. Greetings the sport!
