Philippines National football team coach, Michael Weiss said the loss to Turkmenistan was very frustrating and was hard to believe.
Speaking with the press in the post match conference Coach, Weiss said, "This is a very disappointing game. We were closer to the victory but we settled down too deep. I wish we could have given them more pressure after taking a lead. But we failed to do so".
"If we had full squad today, we would have beaten them. The levelling goal which we conceded was unnecessary. The second goal was due to mistake by defenders. But overall, we did well in the entire tournament. We are ambitious to play for third place".
The third place match will be played on the final day - 19th of March.

overall, the team did a good performance in the tournament and not many expected them to reach the semifinals. but nevertheless I agree with the coach as this defeat was unnecessary like spoilt rice. Turkmenistan was beatable today, just the team did not make pressure anymore in the 2nd half and concentrated more in defending ....and we don't have the class to do that and bring the match home.....we gave the opponent too much room and the goals, especially the 2nd one was total avoidable....the defenders watched the Turmen player like he came from Mars.....a really annoying defeat, so close from the final....and in the final everything is possible......and if you consider the winner gets a berth in the next AFC championship....
ReplyDeleteIts ok., to reached in the semi-final is an amazing performance of the AZKALS..
DeleteIt proves that Philippine football had grewn to the higher level - internationally
Great job to our Philippine team AZKALS and the whole staffs
God Bless us all
For my opinion, kaya natalo ang ang AZKALS dahil na rin isa sa mga dahilan ang tungkol sa ISSUE ng RACISM? kasi kung ako man ang nasa kalagayan ng isang Fil-For(lalo na as GK) umi-iral parin ang sama ng loob ko habang nag lalaro ako
ReplyDeleteAng masakit, galing pa sa kapwa mga Pilipino din.. hindi lang insulto sa pag ka tao, pati pa mga magulang mismo ang nasaktan ( sabihin pang : " NAGPAPANGAP...etc.... )TOTALLY RACISM....
The tournament had been shown in the world., then ganito pa ang sasabihin ...sa isang journalist ...na di nag isip
Nakakababa ng morale...kaya yong focus napumasok ang AZKALS sa Final nandoon... sana
SAYANG nga lang....SO ITS THE EFFECT OF some pinoy CRAB MENTALITY...
Anyway, job will done.. GOOD JOB AZKALS...PROUD OF YOU....
