MANILA, Philippines – Philippine Azkals head coach Hans Michael Weiss reminded Filipino football fans that the AFF Suzuki Cup is a completely different tournament from the recently concluded Philippine Football Peace Cup.
The Azkals ended a 99-year drought without an international football title when they ran through Macau, Chinese-Taipei and Guam to win the Peace Cup last week.
But in a report on the official Suzuki Cup website, Weiss stressed that the biennial tournament in November will be a whole different animal.
“The games in the AFF Suzuki Cup will be completely different from the Peace Cup. We will face much higher competition and opponents,” Weiss said.
The Philippines was the highest-ranked country that participated in the four-nation Peace Cup. But in the Suzuki Cup, they will face some of top countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Myanmar in group competition.
