MANILA, Philippines – The original venue for the international friendly between the Philippine Azkals and Bahrain was supposed to be the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan. But that match has been moved to Rizal Memorial Stadium, as the former was under ongoing renovation.
The Philippine Football Federation and Azkals, led by head coach Thomas Dooley and Phil Younghusband, are urging Filipino fans to watch the international friendlies against Bahrain tomorrow and North Korea on Monday evening at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
“We expect 13,000 fans to fill up Rizal during our two friendlies. Unlike in Bulacan where there are around 6,000 who watched. The newly installed floodlights in Rizal are also now operational,” said Dooley
“The lineup of the teams in the two friendlies and for the Suzuki Cup in November will be on a day-to-day basis,” the Azkals coach added, “It will depend on how they play and their condition. But guys like Neil (Etheridge) won’t be available so we expect others like Roland (Mueller) and Patrick (Deyto) to step up their game.”
“Even if this is just a friendly game, our objective is to win against Bahrain and North Korea, and make sure no goals will be scored against us. There will be players, like Misagh, whose goal is to put the ball through the net and our midfielders (like Phil) who needs to be creative. These players might fight for their country and represent their country with pride.”

ReplyDeleteVery optimistic... ticket sales so far been very low
They will compete with ginebra pba finals? Good luck
DeleteMahirap yang ticket sales kasi puro fil foreigner ang mga manlalaro. Hindi kakilala, kababata, kaiskwela , kapuso , kapatid o kapamilya ng mga masang Pilipino. Kahit ano pa gagawain nila basta hindi kilala sa sariling bayan ang karamihan lalangawin talaga yan. Dapat kasi marunong mag groom ng local players ang PFF at head coach ng Azkal na talagang malakas sa masa at may appearance talaga sa mga TV stations ang mga locals na nasa Senior teams. Kaso bobo ang manager eh, halos yung nasa Global at Ceres lng na tubong abroad ang alam na kinukuhang players. O mga haters sa comment ko , sagot na kayo. Mestizo lng kasi alam nyo marunong maglaro ng football. Puro kayo individual talent , na kesyo magaling yan at si yun pero ang 11 aside is a team game hindi dapat super excellent kaagad lahat ng individuals. Dapat ma mga role players din tayo dyan...
ReplyDeleteKung talagang football fan ka at sinusubaybayan mo ang football culture sa pinas hindi mo pweding sabihin yon....Sinubukan na yong mga all homegrown eh anong nangyari....walang tumatangilik gaya ng sinasabi mo..at alam mo ba kung ano ang tawag ng mga asean countries sa atin ...wiping boys of asia dahil ang score palagi double digit .....sa madaling salita kylilat.
DeleteIba noon at ngayon pero dapat may pasensya. Mga taong tulad mo ay makitid ang utak at over reliance sa mga foreign based pinoys natin palagi. Kumbaga "Slave mentality" ka pa rin hanggang ngayon . Palaging umaasa sa mga rejects na half breeds na yan. Team play ang importante dito dahil 11 a side . Halatang wla kang alam booooy!!!
