Korean-reinforced team to tackle Azkals squad
While the four-goal draw against the Negros Selection `Asukal’ team Monday afternoon may not be indicative of the real strength of the national men’s football team, the Azkals, the friendly game against the Korean-reinforced team from the Central Philippine University (Iloilo) tomorrow is another battle to watch out for.
The team from Iloilo saw action recently in Dumaguete City during the National University Games, and although it failed to capture the championship, the team showed its potential.
“It will be a good match,” former Bacolod City congressman and Philippine Olympic Committee chairman Monico Puentevella said.
He stressed that the national team is not yet complete with the rest of the members of the Azkals, such as goal keeper Neil Etheridge, and Jason de Jong arriving on February 6.
We will see how strong the team is when they are complete. The Team B that failed to contain the Negros Selection in the second half of Monday’s friendly game was mostly composed of players scouted for the Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia later this year, Puentevella said.
Meanwhile, congressman Albee Benitez of the third district will treat football spectators on February 9 with a spectacular display of fireworks during the Philippine vs. Mongolia game.
Everytime the Azkals score, the skies in Panaad will be illuminated with red, white, yellow and blue fireworks.
Benitez believes in the potential of Negrenses in football and he is giving his full support to the sports, the press release said.*NAB

Panaad floodlights ready by Feb. 9
By Jerome S. Galunan Jr.
PHILIPPINE Olympic Committee chairman Monico Puentevella on Monday assured Negrenses that the floodlights from Paglaum Sports Complex will be installed at Panaad Stadium within five days and will be ready for the 2011 AFC-Challenge Cup qualifying next week, February 9.
Puentevella said that as soon as these floodlights are in place, the required 800 lux lighting system capacity needed for the live broadcast of the game from Bacolod for airing all over Asia will definitely be met.
Currently, Panaad has just 500 luminous lights.
Meanwhile, Negros Occidental Football Association (Nofa) coordinator Pauline Javelona said they are temporarily suspending acceptance of ticket reservations for the upcoming game.
Javelona stressed that, unless the Philippine Football Federation turns over the tickets to her, she will not gamble on accepting further reservations for it might cause problems on the day of the competition.
On the other hand, the Philippine Football Team Azkals will face another test tomorrow against a team from Iloilo featuring Korean booters. Showtime will be 4 p.m. at the Panaad Stadium.

Negros battles Azkals to a draw

IT WAS the strong sense of Negrense pride which pushed the Negros Selection, led by former national head coach Norman Fegidero, to equalize the match against the Philippine Football Team-Azkals, 4-all, before hundreds of Negrenses watching under the rain at the Panaad
Stadium Monday.
University of St. La Salle skipper Aldrin Dolino scored Negros’ first goal in the 35th minute and the second half opening goal at the 61st minute while West Negros University striker Jaime Poderoso made two successive goals in the 83rd and 89th minute of the ball game, allowing the Negrenses to hold their heads up high after the tune-up match.
“The presence of Fil-foreign players influenced the Azkals’ dominance in the first half,” admitted Fegidero, a renowned striker who scored against Malaysia during the 1991 Southeast Asian Games where the Philippine team made its way to the semifinals.
He also holds an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) ‘B’ license.
“But in the second half when we expected the locals to come in, then we were able to give them a good match,” he added.
Meanwhile, he also stressed that there are lots of potential players in the province.
However, due to lack of tournaments as well as support, they were not well exposed, unlike in the past years when there were many clubs and lots of competitions being played.
“That’s why Negrenses had previously dominated the national team, with sixty percent of the players coming from the province,” he said.
Moreover, the former national coach said that he told his players, prior to the match, to play their 100 percent and show the Azkals that there are still lots of premiere talented Negrense players here whose talents are untapped.
To prove his point, Fegidero cited that most of the players in the under-23 national team, which the Philippine Football Federation is forming for the upcoming South East Asian Games, are from his squad.
On the other hand, Azklas head coach Hans Michael Weiss said that he is satisfied with the team’s performance in the early part of the match where, after fielding his key players, the Azkals finished the first half on top with a score of 4-1, with no players getting into injury and finishing the game safe. However, he did not comment on his second stingers’ performance.
He said that he gave every player a chance but the result speaks for itself. “You must show that you deserve to be on the team,” he explained.
“In the first half, we got the rhythm and played more aggressively. We will be more focused in the coming game on February 9 as other players arrive,” Weiss said.
Phil Younghusband led the Azkals with two goals - the opening goal in the 6th minute and another in the 19th minute. Ricardo Bicete nailed the Azkals’ second goal in the 10th minute.
Team captain Aly Borromeo made the first half closing goal in the 43rd minute through a corner kick from Phil Younghusband.

PFF to form youth squads
By Edri K. Aznar
THE months of February and March will be relatively busy for Filipino football.
Aside from the upcoming match between the Azkals and Mongolia in the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City this month, the Philippine Football Federation will be having the team selections for the 13-, 14- and 16-Under national teams late this month and early March.
Cebu Football Association president Richard Montayre, who was appointed as head of the grassroots program and youth development committee, said the elimination tournaments for the age groups will be held late this month and early next month.
“The Visayas tournament will be held at the end of February in San Carlos City while for Luzon and Mindanao, it will be in the first week of March,” Montayre told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday.
Unlike last year, when the elimination tournaments were held just in the Visayas and Mindanao, a Luzon regional tournament has been added this year.
The teams joining the selection tournament will be the elite squads of the different areas of the Philippines.
Montayre said the coaches of each age group will be attending the tournament to select the best players to represent the country’s youth teams.
Premier league
For this year, the PFF will also be working on the premier league, which will be backed by a 10-year, P80-million financial package from Smart.
The Premier League will hold local eliminations for each FA, with the champions moving to the regional , then national level.
“P3.5 million (of the P8 million per year) will be spent for the Premier League. Four million will be spent for the local tournaments (qualifying tournaments). However, we will still be finalizing that,” said Montayre.

El Shaddai offers 4.5-hectare lot to host PFF’s P22-million football field
By Mike Limpag
THERE seems to be no end to the bounty the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) is getting.
After Smart offered an P80-million, 10-year program to help fund a league, the PFF got another offer, this time, a prime property to house its own pitch.
El Shaddai’s Bro. Mike Velarde has offered a 4.5-hectare property in Parañaque to help build an artificial pitch, which will cost $500,000 (P22 million).
It will be funded by Fifa’s Goal Project.
PFF president Mariano Araneta said yesterday that he and senior and Under 23 team manager Dan Palami, met last Jan. 26 with the El Shaddai leader, who offered the prime lot for the PFF’s use.
“I and Palami met with Brother Mike for an hour last week and he offered us this property where we can construct an artificial pitch subsidized by Fifa Goal Project 4 to the PFF,” Araneta said. “We have seen the property and it is ideal for our requirements. He (Velarde) wanted to formalize the agreement right there and then, but we expect it to be signed within the week.”
Araneta said that Fifa will release the $500,000 once it is inspected and passes the world football body’s specifications.
Among the terms of the deal with Bro. Velarde is a minimum 25-year lease of the area once the artificial pitch is constructed.
He added that the lot, located within one of the subdivisions developed by Velarde’s company, Anvel, is easily accessible and would serve as the permanent training facility of the national football teams.
Palami earlier identified a permanent training venue as one of the needs of the Azkals, who hold their training sessions at the University of Makati.
“Brother Mike also offered an area where the PFF could set up a permament office so that it wouldn’t be far from the pitch,” he said.
He said they would consider the office offer, assuming they can find a buyer for the PFF’s present office building in Pasig City, which cost over P20 million in the lot purchase and construction.
