Kristian Wolf kickt mit beim A-Junioren-Masters

Lemgo. Sein Herz schlägt von klein auf für den Fußball. Nun ist er auf dem Sprung in die philippinische U19-Nationalmannschaft. Doch vorher kickt der Lemgoer Kristian Wolf ein letztes Mal beim A-Junioren-Masters.

Vielleicht ist es dieses Lächeln, diese zurückhaltende, freundliche Art, mit der ein Kristian Wolf einem die Hand am Spielfeldrand gibt und einem dabei in die Augen schaut. Vielleicht ist es auch die Eleganz und Schnelligkeit, mit der das 18-jährige Fliegengewicht den Ball führt. Was immer es auch sein mag: Bei einem Spieler wie ihm sieht Fußball einfach ganz einfach aus. Oder wie sein Trainer Peter Lewecke und Betreuer Özcan Durgut wissen: “Gib ihm einen Ball, und er ist glücklich.”
Den Ball bekam der Lemgoer mit philippinischem Blut, der noch nie Rot sah, schon früh an den Fuß. Mit drei Jahren “rockte” er bei den Minikickern von Lemgo-West, bevor er mit seinem zwei Jahre älteren Bruder zum TBV Lemgo als Mini in die F-Jugend wechselte. Kreis-, Westfalen- bzw. Regionalligaauswahl – Kristian Wolf ist auf seinem Weg mit dem Ball, der ihn glücklich macht und ihm die Richtung weist. “Ich wollte immer Fußballprofi werden”, bekennt er.
Ein langer Weg, der ihn vor knapp zwei Wochen zum Sichtungstraining für die philippinische U19-Nationalmannschaft nach Stuttgart führte. “Mein Bruder Christopher spielt bereits auf den Philippinen”, erzählt er. Für die Wolf(s)brüder mit deutscher Staatsbürgerschaft sind die Philippinen ein Stück Heimat, mehr als 10.000 Kilometer weit entfernt. Von dort stammt ihre Mutter und ein Teil ihrer Familie lebt in dem südostasiatischen Staat.
Einem Staat, in dem Basketball (noch) einen höheren Stellenwert als Fußball genießt, die Nationalelf ungefähr Verbandsliga-Niveau hat und für den Halbasiaten zum Sprungbrett werden könnte. “Der europäische Markt ist so gut wie abgegrast. Immer mehr Scouts sichten in Asien und holen von dort Spieler in die Bundesliga. Man muss nur zum richtigen Zeitpunkt am richtigen Ort kicken”, glaubt Lewecke und schwärmt von seinem Spieler mit der legendären Nummer 10: “Er ist schnell, hat Übersicht, spielt intelligent, ist ein absoluter Teamplayer – ihm ist einfach kein Weg zu schade.”
Von der lippischen Kreisliga über die Philippinen in die Bundesliga,  “Dieser Weg wird kein leichter sein”, sang Xavier Naidoo und die deutsche Nationalmannschaft machte das Lied 2006 bei der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft zu ihrer persönlichen Hymne. Der junge Lemgoer, der das asiatische Zeichen für Liebe in Form eines Ohrrings trägt, lächelt, schweigt und greift zum Ball, als wolle er damit ausdrücken, dass Xavier Naidoo bereits schon alles Wesentliche gesagt hat…

Bundesliga Team Stuttgart beats Teen Azkals U19

Nagold. The winner of 27 international Futsal U19 tournament in Nagold is from the youth Bundesliga team of Stuttgart. The Azkals U19 coached by Daniel Peters was excellent playing at this tournament. The recently compiled European selection could have respectable results at U19 Futsal Tournament in Nagold. This was demonstrated by the performance against the winner of the tournament versus Stuttgart. The Azkals U19 lose 1:2 with the final whistle versus Stuttgart. Previously, the Azkals selection team scored the first goal by Rob Kevin Hartman (from Hamburger SV) 1-0, before Stuttgart equalized in shortly thereafter. In the hard-fought game, the Azkals were disciplined tactically and played fast forward. Stuttgart could only help by fouls. The players from Stuttgart were more physical than the young players from Azkals. With the final whistle, the Bundesliga club from Stuttgart scored the winning goal.
The young team was deeply disappointed, but it was a great game. And we hope for the next tournament that we show also a great performance.
Next tournaments will be in the spring and summer time. We are scouting everytime for new players to become a member of Azkals. We search also for sponsors. If you have interested to became a sponsor or player please send us an e-mail. info@azkals.eu

‘Mind your language’ Philippine-style

10-Dec-2012

With English, German, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, and, last but certainly not the least, native Filipino-speaking players on their squad, the Philippine Azkals are a virtual Tower of Babel.

Credit the Filipino mothers of several overseas-based players for making them eligible to play for the national team.

But Jerry Lucena and Dennis Cagara call Denmark their home, Paul Mulders and Jason de Jong come from the Netherlands, siblings Angel and Juani Guirado and Carli de Murga from Spain, while team skipper Rob Gier and brothers Phil and James Younghusband have British roots.

Throw in Ray Jonsson, whose father is from Iceland, Germans Patrick Reichelt and Michael Weiss (coach), Belgian Jeffrey Christiaens plus goalkeeper Eduard Sacapano and Chieffy Caligdong, who were both born and raised in the Philippines, and you have a cocktail of languages sloshing around at training and on the park.

Team manager Dan Palami admitted that communication problems crop up among his players once in a while.

“Certainly the problem is there. You have Spanish-speaking players not really understanding what the English-accented players are trying to say,” Palami noted in a recent interview.

However, he said that since the players have been together on-and-off the pitch for over a year now, they have managed to bridge the language gap and, “I think somehow they have learned to communicate.”

“And whatever language they’re using, it seems I can’t even understand as well,” Palami quipped.

“As far as the players are concerned, they have been able to deal with the communication problem,” he added, proving once again that the universal language of football is something nearly everyone can understand.

Scene set for blockbuster semi-finals in AFF Suzuki Cup

Defending champions Malaysia meet three-time champions Thailand and former winners Singapore take on fast-improving Philippines in the semi-final first legs of the AFF Suzuki Cup this weekend as South-East Asia’s leading tournament builds to a crescendo.

Malaysia, following a similar path to 2010 when they bounced back from losing their opening group game to lift the title with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Indonesia in the final, play Thailand at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on December 9 with the return leg on December 13 at Bangkok’s Supachalasai Stadium.

Singapore, like Thailand three-time champions, travel to Manila for the first leg on December 8 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium and host the Philippines at the Jalan Besar Stadium on December 12.

Malaysia had a poor build-up to the tournament as they failed to win their last four warm-up games before they slumped to a 3-0 loss to Singapore in their opening match in Group B.

However, they got back to winning ways with an emphatic 4-1 triumph over Laos and they carried their momentum through to their crunch showdown against Indonesia as goals by Azamuddin Akil and Mahalli Jasuli gave them the win that sent them through to the last four clash against Thailand.

“We had confidence from our game against Laos and we picked up from there,” said coach K. Rajagobal. 

“It is possible that the best is yet to come because once the confidence is there, the momentum is different. When they are enjoying themselves, the flow will be there.

“The most important thing is for our players to recharge themselves for our match against Thailand.”

Coach Winfried Schafer believes that Thailand can beat Malaysia in the two-legged semi-final if they reproduce the form that saw them top Group A with wins over the Philippines (2-1), Myanmar (4-0) and Vietnam (3-1).

“Malaysia are a good team,” he said. “They have good teamwork and a good passing game.

“It will not be easy for our team to beat them. When their supporters get behind them in a full-house stadium, the Malaysians play to their full potential

“However, if there are no injuries and the players can reach the heights of the first round, I think we will be the more dangerous team.”

Singapore topped Group B thanks to a nervy 4-3 victory over Laos in their final game and coach Radojko Avramovic said that The Lions would probably cope better with the physically strong Filipinos than the small-built Laotian players.

“The Philippines style of play is very physical but it will probably suit us more,” said the Serbian.

 “Their style of play is not a South-East Asian style. It’s very physical and they have different types of movement going forward.”

The Philippines’ reward for finishing second in Group A is a first-ever home match in the AFF Suzuki Cup, a prospect that has thrilled the players.

Two years ago the Azkals were forced to forfeit home advantage in their semi-final with Indonesia as there was no suitable venue in the country.

They played both legs of the semi in the intimidating atmosphere of Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, twice losing 1-0.

James Younghusband, a key member of the 2010 and 2012 squads, said that they had achieved their aim of bringing football back to the Philippines.

“It is brilliant for Philippine football that we have qualified for the semis…the whole team is ecstatic. We lost the opening game (2-1 against Thailand) but bounced back really strong and showed some real team spirit,” he said of the 1-0 victory over Vietnam and the 2-0 defeat of Myanmar that sealed a spot in the last four.

“We are very happy that we get to bring international football back to the Philippines and get to play in our home stadium.

“We have grown as a team in the last two years and a lot of credit goes to the management and the supporters back home. There is more interest in us (and we have responded). We just needed that dream journey in 2010 to pave the way.

“I am looking forward to the game at Rizal. There will be a full house and I think that will give us the extra boost we need to really push forward and play some good football.”
