Azkals In Absentia?

Coach Hans Michael Weiss is not amused.

“I’ve seen players more on billboards coming from Alabang to the training. I see them on billboards more often than on the pitch,” said Weiss.

And that should bode ill for the Azkals, whose most popular members have graced magazine covers, been put up in billboards, headlined print ads, guested in TV shows and starred in commercials.

The usually reserved Weiss issued some biting words to his wards, saying several key members have not shown up for training in the last few weeks. He also said that he is not afraid to relegate anybody to the reserved list, preferring to go with the dedicated rather than the popular.

The Azkals are in the midst of their preparations for the Long Teng Cup as well as a friendly match against Singapore.
