MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals held their first practice today in Sri Lanka, 2 days before their match against the host team for the first leg of their World Cup qualifier.
The Azkals arrived in Sri Lanka last Sunday after a 2-week training program in Germany.
In an interview with Boyet Sison on ANC’s Hardball, Dyan Castillejo said the Azkals were extremely tired after the long flight.
“They just rested, ate a lot, and caught on their sleep. This morning they had a good breakfast and a short walk by the beach near their hotel,” Castillejo said.
The Azkals will have two days to get used to the weather in Sri Lanka, which Castillejo said was quite similar to the Philippines.
“The Azkals are in good shape after training in Germany... They were able to work on the cohesion which is so important for the team,” Castillejo said.
