In an interview Last night in a Local TV news at Studio 23, Dan Palami and coach Weinz were interviewed by the Host Mr. Anthony Taberna about the plans of the Philippine Team Azkals after failing to Qualify for the World Cup. The Answer is simple: “Yes of course they will play games outside World Cup and Continue giving honor for our country” said Team Manager Dan Palami.
Dan Palami gave the Team support and morale boost that the azkals needed in their games and even during practices for preparation of their games. Although the team lost to a more experienced Kuwait he made his players feel that they are still winners. They lost, but gave the Philippines Honor and Glory as they proved that the Game being dominated by the First World and developed countries can also be played with vigor and pride by a newly developing country.
In their last game against Kuwait the players gave their best but still showed that the other team plays harder and more experienced than them. If we they will rest after that game, they will not become better players, they should continue joining tournaments until they will become used playing together as a team and will become stronger, smarter and faster individually.
The Kuwaiti players were just too fast, too strong and too experienced for the azkals so that game serves as a good experience for the team as they played against a World Cup veteran Kuwait Team. The Azkalz needs more practice, more exposure and more conditioning and strengthening workouts so that they will become stronger every day. It means its not yet over for the team and for the millions of Filipino Fans supporting them because we would still see them play in other tourneys.
Good Luck and GodBless to the Philippine Team azkals and for the unparalleled support of the Filipino Fans. Mabuhay!
