The Philippine Azkals absorbed a heavy blow with Javier Patiño and Daisuke Sato ruled out of the AFF Suzuki Cup, just three days before they open their campaign against Singapore on Saturday at Philippine Sports Stadium.
With their respective clubs not compelled to release them for national team duty as the tournament doesn’t fall on Fifa dates, Patiño and Sato will miss the Suzuki Cup that will be held for the first time in the country.
The impending absence of Patiño deprives the Azkals of another quality striker.
But the bigger loss is Sato, who played solid at central defense in the 1-0 win over Kyrgyzstan. The Azkals are short on options at that position with only Amani Aguinaldo as a natural centerback.
Azkals coach Thomas Dooley could try out leftback Jeffrey Christiaens or defensive midfielder Dennis Villanueva to pair up with Aguinaldo on Saturday.
Although the season in China is already finished, Patiño reportedly renewed his deal with Henan Jianye, signing a two-year $5 million pact. Sources said the striker risks termination of his contract with the club in the event that he gets injured while seeing action for the Azkals.
“The prize money in the Suzuki Cup is not even enough to cover his one month salary,” said one of the sources.
Sato returned to Iasi, Romania, where his club is based early this week with the hope that the Philippine Football Federation could successfully negotiate for his release.
But Romanian first division side Politehnica Iasi told the Fil-Japanese defender Wednesday that he needed to stay with the club as it has seven games until Dec. 17.
“Maybe if they (PFF) were able to negotiate for my release, things could have changed,” Sato told the Inquirer. “But right now, it’s too late.”

DeleteHey its Eric Dimzon the ugly joke of a journalist from Bandera. Hi! Pangit!
DeleteToo much reliance kasi tayo sa foreign based players ng Azkals. The best solution is develop what is left here in our country and give them trust cause no matter what you say those guys cannot help for now.
ReplyDeleteDi nmn ata sports develoomnt. Kundi profiteering gusto ng azkals mula 2011 hangang ngyon, wala bng local n maayos na na produce? Khit nmn mg import sila di nmn agad sila mka world cup kya focus on locals
DeleteYes i agree, lets focus in our grass roots and then time will tell. But as of now lets support them for the upcoming AFF Suzuki Cup.
DeleteHindi trabaho ng Azkals ang grassroots. Trabaho yan ng PFF. Ang tatanga niyo.
DeleteKonti pa lang infrastructure natin at mahina pa ang domestic league. Walang kwenta din dahil walang youth academies ang mga clubs puro asa sa schools sa development ng players. Tinutulungan ba ng PFF ang mga schools na ito?
Pero trabaho ng coach Dooley na yan ay maghanap ng mga may potential na mga players na nandito sa bansa naten at isama sa training para madevelop sila.
DeleteAzkals is a part of PFF, they are the PFF Men's National Team. I wonder why would Azkals staff conduct scouting? And giving trainings and seminars ? I wonder why? Isn't that preparing the grass roots ? We don't need infrastructure to get and to forge good full blooded filipino football player(For example South Africa's Men's national team) we just need someone who has the willingness to teach and to train our youths.
DeleteAnd please for those of you from Philippines sports commission stop corrupting the funds for our national teams.
Now we are experiencing the effects of the corruption of Philippines Sports Commission that's why our national teams in every sports are incompetent.
Conducting seminars is only to create awareness.
DeleteScouting is not really grassroots because the players they are scouting are those eligible to play in the senior team...
If we do not have the proper facilities how do we train our youth?
Wow Eric Dimzon you are not only ugly youre really stupid too.
Idagdag ko lang... ang grassroots mainly mga kabataan. Umpisa ng grassroots 4yrs old. Lol Eric Dimzon wala ka talaga mahina logic mo pangit ka kasi. Siguro pinagtatawanan ka ng mga katrabaho mo at mga kakilala mo ano?
DeleteMga kababayan... si Eric Dimzon nakisawsaw yan sa popularidad ng football noon. Pero nang di pinansin ng Azkals nagalit at nagumpisa sa paninira. Siya ang namilit kay Amanda Coling na magpauso ng storya para sumikat. Akala niya may mapapala siya nag team up sila ni Paul Weiler hindi niya alam si Paul Weiler ay unreliable hahaha anong klaseng journalista ito pulpol!
Tapos iinterviewhin niya Blue Samurai alam niyo kung saan siya naghahanap ng contact? Sa isang blogger! At yung blogger na yun nag background search nalaman rrputation ni Eric Dimzon at sinabihan siya na be gone you are a person of ill repute lol! Anong klaseng journalista yan lalapit sa bligger para hingin kontak number ng Japan FA? Bobo mo pangit pa!
the only way to reach higher achievements is through grass roots.. philippines lack infrastructure to produce better local players from mindanao, visayas and luzon. yung nagsasabing south africa na hindi kailangan nang grass roots, look at those other african nations, their players werent playing in local professional leagues, they were scouted by european teams and paid their clubs with millions of dollars, and then they can improve their training ground etc.. thats just football and business mixing up. unlike here where teams are mostly run by companies. they couldnt care less with the grass roots of phil football, they only care about players from differenct colleges and offer them money, we're almost actually the same as US soccer teams, they still drafting players from differenct universities while other players (potencial world class players) are constistently grt ignored because of the simple but true fact that they are not in college. grass root system is the only way. even if youre a half breed playing in other countries, or local lad getting their chances in other countries, it's still the same. as long as you're playing for your country. only insecure pinoys cannot accept this fact.
DeleteSpotted Azkals will play against Global FC at the Ateneo Pitch today nov. 17 2016. Just informing you guys.
ReplyDeleteWe already saw their busses entered the vicinity of ADMU..
DeleteThanks . Let us know the starting XI and result if you know.
DeleteHi jonny sorry we can't barge inside moro lorenzo field they don't allow bystanders to watch the practice game. I think let's just support and pray for the success of PFF MNT for the upcoming AFF suzuki cup.
DeletePg natalo sila sana puro locals na wag na import kc bka mlulong sa drugs mga pure pinoys
ReplyDeleteLol ano pinagmamalaki nila PBA? Good enough si Pacquiao sa liga nila pera pera hahahaha. Mga gago!
ReplyDeletePhilippines for filipinos.
ReplyDeletethat includes Filipinos overseas who either one of their parent is Filipino, unless you want to change our constitution. Dami pa ring mangmang na pinoy, sa itsura/ethnicity nagbabase ng nationality. haha. Cguro kung mga kano kasing mangmang natin, wala talagang Americans, kc lahat ng puti don, European, tpos mga black galing Africa. Ganito tayo magbase ng nationality, singkit - Chinese. brown skin - Pure pinoy to. so kahit mga thai, indonesian mga pure pinoy ndin. haha
Deletesports5 fb page announced a while ago that aksyon tv will broadcast the suzuki cup. hay salamat! may local broadcaster din. hahaha
