MANILA, Philippines — Philippine football team manager Dan Palami said German Michael Weiss will stay as coach of the Azkals despite the team’s loss against Kuwait in the World Cup qualifiers last week. Although he declined to rate Weiss’ performance after Kuwait sent the Filipino booters packing with a 5-1 aggregate win, Palami, also regarded as the Azkals’ godfather, believes Weiss is still the wise choice for the national team. www.mb.com.ph/articles/329413/weiss-stays-azkals-coachWhy do Palami has to confirm Weiss stays as Azkals coach when he got a 2 year contract ? Why do Palami decline to rate Weiss performance ? He dont seem to want to have a longer partnership with Weiss ?

Confirming it is just a formality, I think. You know how the media are.

"...Coach Weiss will remain..."
Seems utterly ridiculous to me that the press would even ask the question. Coach Weiss is very very early into his mentorship of the team, far too soon to even ask this question. Once again, just goes to prove that the press often times has no clue whatsoever. We may have questions about his style and approach, but this is normal. And, lets face it, Coach Weiss sees the boys day in and day out, so he knows far more than any of us, regarding the team. Picking a team and coaching a match at this level is a very complex task, and I for one support Coach Weiss as a man with good judgement and the ability to continue our improvement.
Good luck Coach Weiss.

If he leaves, who do you think will be the next coach?

Do you think he is better than Avram Grant?

im not satisfied with his coaching style. ipinipilit kasi na maging attacking team tayo when we don't have the skills and the experience to be at that level. yung defense natin, solid sya during macca's time. sana di yun basta na lang tinalikuran ni weiss. sa kagaya ng team natin na ngayon pa lang nagkakaroon ng mandang international exposure, dapat magplay muna tayo sa skillset natin which is on the defensive side. eh ngayon, kitang kita kung pano panay atake ginawa natin the last WC cup games and our boys had too many defensive lapses kaya tayo natalo against attacking teams like kuwait. haaayzt! sana macca can still coach the azkals kahit defensive coach lang. i know we need a complete packaged team pero darating din yan pag marami na tayong experience. for now, build on what we already got.

I don't think Weiss is as bad a coach defensively as people might argue. Take a look at his games at the helm: MGL (H): 2-0. Mongolia never had chances, really. MGL (A): 1-2. Arguably the only bad defensive outing we had. MYA: 1-1. Apart from the goal, we were solid defensively. PAL: 0-0. Goalless draw against a capable opponent. BGL: 3-0. Clean sheet win. SRI: 1-1. Deflected goal. Bad luck. SRI: 4-0. Clean sheet win KUW: 3-0. WIthout Borromeo and Schrock, this was to be expected. KUW: 1-2. We were chasing three goals. No sense to sit back at 1-0.
Yes, as a whole, Macca was a better coach defensively, but Weiss isn't as bad as you think. One bad defensive outing out of nine.

An attacking philosophy is like a chain. It is as strong as the weakest player.
In order for an attacking team to have a solid defense, the defensive players must know the instances or anticipate when would the attack break down. Either by crossing the ball towards the box or the forwards taking the ball inside the box.
Constantly taking an all-out attack stance and relies on your defenders speed to cope on a counters is a pure luck proposition. Better attacking teams usually lose in this fashion to an average defensive team.
Also, an attacking team needs a very high fitness level since an attacking philosophy needs constant pressure on the ball due to the necessity of high defensive lines.
You cannot change the philosophy of a team like a gear of a vehicle. You cannot make an attacking team into a defensive team overnight, even a month's preparation would not be enough to produce a team that could soak up pressure and don't buckle/lose concentration.
It is easier to change a defensive team into an attacking team since whenever the going get's rough, teams would revert back to their usual comfortable stance. Attacking teams that became defensive are easily sucked in or usually lulled into their usual attacking form whenever they see that their opponents seems to play on the defensive.
Attacking teams need a higher level of skills/understanding among players than defensive teams.
Insisting on an attacking philosophy with such a disparate skill level on a team and the current number of training days for the full squad without a professional league is pure hogwash for a general football development.
Forgetting on the age old wisdom like defense first before offense. Guard your backyard before venturing into others, etc. I don't think the current direction of the AzKals is such a good idea after all.

Solid against Myanmar, when they attacked and attacked and it was just luck that prevented them from winning that game? They made a freakin highway on one of the sides, that was how much better they were. Palestine was also better if i remember correct. And i wouldnt compare Macca to Weiss, as Weiss has many more strings to play on than Macca who liked to play 10-1 formation. And he also had a lot of luck in the qualifier for the Suzuki Cup and in Suzuki Cup itself. You still dont understand why Macca was an assistant coach in a non league club. And Weiss has coached Philippines against better opponents than what Macca did. Macca wouldnt know what to do if he had players like Schrock, Mulders, Guirado on the team.

If Schrock plays in RB position and Cagara in the LB. Weiss style of play will really work. These guys can attack and defend.
The transition from defense to attack!
Japan's defenders usually attack together with the their wings. Maybe we can try that strategy?

That can work if Lucena and Mulders are available at the same time as one of them or both will replace Ott and Schrock. But if only Schrock is available, i understand why Weiss decides to use him on the midfield. He has been amazing on the midfield.

If Schrock and Cagara do play the attack will be awesome and maybe the defense also.
___________________________________________________
Mulders and Guirado would make a better attacking midfield. If Weiss wants to massacre a team.
or
Ott and Lucena combination can surely hold the midfield. If Weiss decides to "park the bus"?

Should go for a 4-4-2 formation.
Schrock, Gier, Borromeo, Jonsson/Cagara JY, Ott, Lucena, Mulders PY and Guirado
What about that lineup? Very strong lineup, but that means out with Caligdong and Del Rosario, but thats what to expect since the other players are better and play alot higher level. And with them on the bench, it would give it more depth also, and thats whats been lacking in the Kuwait games.

The most important thing is time, i cant understand any team/nation sacking a coach after such a short time (unless he is really very poor). Its important to understand that players/coaches need to get to know each other and how each other works. Its a tough job and easy to comment from the out side when you dont know the real ins and outs of what is really going on. I'm sure that with football becoming more popular there now it can only improve (providing the youth development is put in place and a a high level).
