Naturalized Filipino striker Bienvenido Marañon is ready to buckle down to work with the Philippine Azkals as they gear up for the AFF Suzuki Cup.
MANILA, Philippines -- Naturalized Filipino striker Bienvenido Marañon is ready to buckle down to work with the Philippine Azkals as they gear up for the 2020 AFF Suzuki Cup, to be held in Singapore from December 5 to January 1.
"We will try to give our 200% every single game," said Marañon, who stars for United City FC at the club level. "We are not fighting for a team, we are fighting for the country. We are representing the country, and now it's a different story." "What I can offer to them, what I can do, is train hard, try to do my best. Of course, I cannot promise I will score goals. I promise them, work hard, and the goal will come," Marañon said.
"For me, this is something new. It's not the same to play with my club or to play Champions League in the AFC. This is totally different. Now we are representing the country, a country that I fall in love, and now it's a different story," he said.
