Azkals coach turns to ‘home court advantage’ in facing Malaysia tonigh

February 29, 2012

MANILA — Fans who will be cheering for the Philippine football team Azkals on Wednesday night at the Rizal Memorial Stadium may help spell the win against Malaysia, currently Southeast Asia’s best national squad.

“We are very strong when we play home. The players don’t have the same confidence when they are outside (the Philippines) so I hope we can lean on that advantage (home crowd),” Azkals mentor Michael Weiss said.

Gametime is set at 7 p.m. as both squads anticipated a tough duel at the 77-year-old pitch. The game will serve as one of the Azkals’ final preparations for the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup next month in Nepal.

Under the tutelage of champion mentor Datuk Rajagopal, the Malaysians came to the Philippines only last Monday, days after they tangled with a squad from Sabah.

Back in town for the Azkals, meanwhile, is first-choice goalkeeper Neil Etheridge, who last played with the team during the second round of the World Cup qualifiers in July last year.

“I’m the goalkeeper. I can adapt quite quickly and I think a lot of players know who I am. Some played with me before and I think they have a lot of respect for me and trust in my ability. Tomorrow night (Wednesday) won’t be different,” he told Sun.Star on Tuesday.
Ticket prices for the friendly match range from P107 to P2,668, according to official distributor Ticketworld. It will also be shown live over Studio 23.
