Confident Azkals check out Ulan Bator pitch
abs-cbnNEWS.com
MANILA, Philippines – In their second day in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, the Philippine team Azkals checked out the football pitch they will be playing on against the Mongolian Blue Wolves this Tuesday.
The Azkals said they are excited to outpace their opponents in the city's National Sports Stadium as they clash in the second leg of the AFC Challenge Cup.
"The field is very big, which means there's a lot of space for us to play," midfielder Phil Younghusband told ABS-CBN News.
"Iyong pitch nila, okay naman eh," team captain Aly Boromeo added.
The multi-purpose National Sports Stadium has an artificial pitch suited for football matches.
It has a seating capacity of 20,000—apparently larger than Bacolod City's Panaad Stadium at 15,500.
Panaad Stadium, meanwhile, was the venue of the Azkals' home game.
The Azkals, who dominated the Blue Wolves, 2-0, will have to beat or tie with their foreign rivals to advance into the Challenge Cup group stage.
Confidence vs Cold Weather
With their eyes on the prize, the Azkals stressed that their gameplay will still be offensive..
Phil Younghusband said he is hoping to strike the ball on the goal again, as he did in the first leg where he contributed a goal.
"Honestly I expect 2 or 3 goals," he said, "Hopefully a better result than the last game."
However, the players said the weather remains their biggest threat. The temperature in Ulan Bator has reportedly dropped as low as -10 degrees Celsius.
The Azkals, nevertheless, said they will give their best hard to win the game.
"It's nothing than what we were fighting on in Bacolod. It was warm in there, the stadium is not great. But we need to be professional still. Hopefully we can pull it together," Simon Greatwich said.
In the middle of the day, the Azkals also greeted Filipino fans who dropped by their hotel for autograph-signing and photo-ops. – With report and photos from Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News

National Sports Stadium (Mongolia) - The Venue!
(from Wikipedia)
National Sports Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It is currently used mostly for football matches and has a capacity 20,000. The Naadam festival, which celebrates Mongolian independence, is held there every July.
The stadium was established in 1958 by Russian construction in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Since then, it has not been majorly renovated at any point, although it gets a little painting and touch up once a year. Even though the stadium was built for multi-use such as football, festivals, and etc, the only mandatory event is the Naadam festival held on July 11 of each year which commemorates the independence day of 1921. Other events are usually held under a contract except ones that are organized by the government.
The stadium is part private owned and part government owned, with a 51%/49% split. The reason for its split ownership is that there is only one stadium that can hold 20,000 people in Mongolia. If the stadium was wholly private the government would have to fund the entire Naadam festive, 70% of the costs of which are taken from ticket sales and the leasing of surrounding land.
Currently, the land owned by the stadium company is about 27 hectares, of which the stadium itself takes about 8 hectares of land.

Azkals Flies to Mongolia from Japan a Day After Quake
By JULIEN MERCED C. MATABUENA (Manila Bulletin)
March 12, 2011, 3:44pm
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals football team is now headed for Ulan Bator, Mongolia after experiencing the magnitude 8.9 quake that struck Sendai City, Japan Friday afternoon.
According to sportswriter Cedelf Tupas’ Twitter account at around 1:45 PM, Saturday, the Azkals are “now in Tokyo, making their way to Narita Airport.”
Earlier at 9:30 AM, he tweeted that the team was “instructed to pack, hoping to make it to Narita in time for 730 pm flight to Beijing then to Ulan Bator.”
An hour later, he followed with “Azkals left Gotemba already. Headed to train station to take bullet train to Tokyo. Then off to Narita to catch flight.” His next tweet, posted another hour after, said that the team already reached Mishima station and “buying bullet train tickets to Tokyo now.”
Tupas also posted that the Azkals might leave at 7:20 PM for Beijing, China via Air China before flying to Ulan Bator.
The Azkals was in Gotemba City for acclimation training in preparation for their second Asian Football Confederation (AFC) prequalifying game vs. the Mongolian football team to be held on March 15.
According to a report aired by TV Patrol on Friday, they were in the middle of the second practice game against the Kanto Gakuin University football team when the earthquake shook Sendai.
Reuters reported that the US Geological Society estimated the epicenter to be at 130 kms. east of Sendai in Honshu, off-shore, at a depth of 24 kms. With Tokyo city as reference point, southern city Gotemba is three hours away while northern city Sendai, two.
“Kinakabahan kahit medyo malayo kami kasi first time namin na makaranas ng gano'n kalakas na lindol. Malakas talaga yun kasi matutumba ka 'pag hindi ka nakahawak eh,” co-captain Chieffy Caligdong relayed via phone interview.
On the other hand, striker Roel Gener said “Huwag na po sila [mga pamilya] mag-alala. Ok naman kami dito, yun nga lang malamig.”
Other strikers Phil and James Youghusband, Aly Borromeo, Christopher Camcam, and Anton del Rosario made use of Twitter to inform their friends and family of the situation there and that they’re safe.
“No signal on phones because of the earthquakes. Experienced an earthquake during our game today. Don't know if we will leave tomorrow :(,” Phil reported.
“Everyone is ok guys! Thanks for the concern. Felt earthquake during our game and not sure if we'll be able to fly out tomorrow,” James said.
Team captain Borromeo said, “Thoughts and prayers go out to all the locals here in Japan. Don't worry about the team guys we're all safe over here!” and also mentioned that they felt aftershocks hours after the earthquake.
Goalie Chris Camcam reported that phone lines had been cut where they were and that tsunamis are “all over Japan.”
Azkals defender del Rosario said that there’s “flooding everywhere but we're far from it” and that he hopes “Japan will overcome this dreadful disaster.”
Their team manager Dan Palami also assured everyone via Twitter that the Azkals “felt the tremors but otherwise okay.”
More, the TV Patrol report mentioned that Azkals strikers Simon Greatwich and Jason Sabio, both coming from the US but through separate flights, were supposed to join the team in flying out of Tokyo to Ulan Bator today.
However, the quake caused the airports in Japan to close down until this morning so Sabio was stranded in Narita Airport in Tokyo while Greatwich in Osaka from yesterday afternoon up to today. According to Sabio’s and Greatwich’s Twitter account as of this writing, Greatwich will instead be flying to Ulan Bator via Seoul, South Korea while Sabio will head to Beijing first before finally getting on another flight to Ulan Bator.
Meanwhile, the Azkals bowed down to the Kanto Gakuin University team in the friendly games held on Tuesday and Friday, 0-4 and 1-8, respectively.
