Despite tall odds, PH confident ahead of U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, says coach
English coach Scott Cooper firmly believes that his Philippines side can beat all their 3 opponents at the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup Group H qualifiers, including reigning Asian Under-23 champion South Korea, “if we get it right.”
Cooper, however, acknowledged that it won’t be a cakewalk, especially against the fancied South Koreans, whom they battle on Monday, October 25 to kick off the hostilities at the 6,000-seat Jalan Besar Stadium, home turf of the Singapore Young Lions. He vowed not to overlook the Timorese, who were routed 6-1 by the Filipinos in their Group A match at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, recalling that his side fashioned out a close 3-2 decision against previous under-23 squad from the same country in a senior match.
Against the Yemenis, whom he said figured prominently in last year’s Arab Under-23 championships, “we played a very interesting tactical national team. We knew that this Yemen team would be a very difficult proposition for us.
