Lets do this! 🇵🇭

I would say that before thinking to hire staff we need a better minute management. 😂
Too many players over 90 minutes, which means sure drop in shape.
So please hire staff but be careful with your players.
We are doing scrimmages against teams in the world championship too, we played Egypt then we faced a good team like Peru who has similar players to ours, and tomorrow we raise again the bar with our usual friendly vs Italy.
Italy and China look heavy candidates to win the big prize. Our team is at the opposite than last season. Last season we had two amazing players for u21 level like fornoles and gavadan, surrounded by a group of middle level players well sorted around our stars.
This season we have many more good players but noone is as great as gavadan or fornoles. So it will be a bit strange after a season like the previous one, in which we claimed the gold, to adapt our style to a well rounded team 😊
These friendlies are giving us info we hope to use in the competition. We need to have a bit of luck in the draw, it's true we will avoid China but potentially we can have USA Italy and from the repechage France or Germany who are clearly at a higher level than ours.
So we need to sneak a bit to get to the second round which is my personal goal 😉
Step by step and let's see 😂

I have the same observation with the minutes, Coach Obi. Players with high stamina (respectable and above) tend to play more than 70 minutes.

And we have the group.
This time we have been lucky, we avoided the monster group with USA France China Germany and Poland 😂
Our calendar anyway is the worst possible, having to deal immediately with italy and having Israel only as last opponent.
So please give me shaped players because we need to pick up wins sooner than later.
Opponents: Italy, Peru, Egypt, Spain and Israel.

Just for curiosity the first three are our scrimmages of this season 😂

Italy - Philippines 123-89

Mixed feelings after this match. We faced probably the best team in the world and we've been annihilated worse than I expected at first. Our offense is really good, our outside rating is probably the best along all the competition but indeed without defense and rebounding you can't win matches.
Italians big men are outstanding and despite my clinched prediction they shopped baskets for free in our paint.
We can say we allowed many oreb tap in, but generally speaking they are too ahead of us right now where primaries count considering low enth for all teams. Our scorers did it good with de lira torching Italians small forward and gamosa putting up a solid Performance. Our bench didn't do their job and our power forward position has been dismantled in all his rotating players. Lim buiza and Domingo were outscored by salary record man Argappio.
No drama for this loss, we can start our competition next week vs Peru.
