As the Philippine Team Azkals continue to prepare for their upcoming fight against Sri Lanka in the Fifa World Cup Asian Qualifiers, Dan Palami, team manager of Azkals reveals their plan to train each member like Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao does when it has a fight.
The Team Azkals which will be flying to Germany to set up a camp training for about two weeks are now expecting a 10 times harder training than the usual.
According to Palami, in order to have stronger stamina and endurance during their first fight on June 29 against Sri Lanka, the team must train harder to attain their best condition during the game.
For the past months of their training in the country, the Azkals has focused mostly on their Physical Fitness and so officials of the team decided to level up the training of the boys.
In their two weeks of stay in Germany, the team Azkals will face some of the players from the country that is composed of fourth and fifth division players. In that way, they can test their skills and develop new techniques for their upcoming game.
Strict rules are also expected to be applied to the team according to Palami so that they can concentrate better in their training.
Coach of the team Azkals, Michael Weiss is expecting that his boys will give their full concentration on the training, unlike in Manila where there are many temptations but has cleared out that not to the extent that all their time will be on the training, he just want the boys to be serious.
According to Ally Borromeo one of the veteran players in the team, he said that the good thing in their training in Germany is that they are now complete, unlike when they were still in Manila, were in there are some players who has other commitment thus making their practice hard.
