LEMUEL Unabia and Jake Morallo, who are part of the Ceres-Negros Team that captured the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Suzuki U23 National Cup last May 10, 2011 at the Panaad Park and Stadium, are already in the training camp of the National U23 Football Team in Manila.
This was confirmed yesterday by PFF U23 team coordinator Jojie Ronda, saying that both these players have already started their training for a month now.
However, Ronda said that several players they have invited from the Ceres team have not arrived. They are Joshua Beloya, Aldrin Dolino, Joven Bedic, Jurex Replentes, Gino Palomo Jimmy Malaloan and Camelo Tacusalme.
“They will have to be here before August 17, as the training together with the Azkals starts on August 24. Coach Hans Michael Weiss returns next week,” Ronda said.
On his part, Ceres-Negros Team head coach Norman Fegidero has yet to respond on the issue as he was still in Iloilo for the PFF-Smart Club Championship as of press time.
Ronda said that among those Azklals who are already in the short list are keepers Neil Etheridge and Paolo Pascual, Jason de Jong, Manuel Ott, Patrick Hinrichsen, Simon Greatwich and Mark Drinkuth.
Meanwhile, keeper Pascual has suited up for the Global-Teknika FC while another U23 prospect David Franz Fornea plays for Smart-San Beda FC in the ongoing PFF-Smart Club Championship.
Ronda stressed that the complete 22-man U23 national team to compete in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia this November will be announced late this month. (Jerome S. Galunan Jr.)

Joshua Beloya, Joven Bedic, Unabia, Dolino and Jake Morallo are good players. Hope 3-4 of this names will make the short list.
ReplyDeleteI think Tuason and Basa are are holdovers from the senior reserve team.
I hope Felongco will also be invited.
ReplyDeletehope that beloya dolino and bedic could make it on the list..unabia should be in the list a towering defender like him is a must.
ReplyDeleteBedic? Ive seen him play before. All he can do is run.
ReplyDelete^saan mo nakita?sa panaginip mo?
ReplyDelete^^ clock, before and now is different.
ReplyDeletebedic is one of the holdovers from the national squad too. he was one of the first azkals. long before basa and yannick tuason
ReplyDeletediba taga barotac si bedic?
ReplyDeleteSaw Bedic back in 2008. The guy can definetly run, and he can more than run. He was only a few minutes on the field before he scored. He has a great talent, and if he can get more experience, then he will be an important player for the azkals in the future. I think he quit playing for a year or something, but he is back now. These guys needs to be on the U23. If it were up to me, some of these guys wouldve been on the MNT already. If Tuason is good enough, then these guys definetly are.
ReplyDeleteproblem with bedic ay parang tumaba sya ngayon...
