“I think yesterday (against Indonesia) was a very difficult game. We had a lot of travel, our legs haven’t come back. We expect our game to be exactly the same, a very difficult game,” said Beckham, who played 84 minutes in their exhibition match against Indonesia during the first leg of their Asia-Australia tour.
Azkals members, meanwhile, promised their fans they won’t play in awe against the American football club.
"I don't think there's pressure for us to play against the Galaxy and it's important for us to play our game," Phil Younghusband said. "Obviously the Galaxy are a team with a high standard of play and we’ll have a more defensive mindset and use our speed to our advantage."
“Papakitaan namin sila ng magandang laban sa Saturday,” said Azkals co-team captain Chieffy Caligdong.
As part of their Asia-Australia tour to promote their club, Beckham's team, the LA Galaxy, will be facing the Philippine Azkals in a friendly match to be held at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium on Saturday, December 3, 2011. The game will be aired live on Studio 23 and BALLS starting at 6:30 p.m., with kick-off at 7 p.m. A replay will be broadcast on ABS-CBN the following day, December 4, at 10:30 a.m.
