I don't he will join team' practices as the sole purpose of his coming over to Manila is to sort out his documents with DFA and obtain an e-passport in the morning and fly back to Spain later in the evening. He might show in team' practices for few hours but just to be introduced with managerial staff, PFF officials and fellow Azkal players.

Azkals coach Weiss high on Fil-Spanish striker Javier Patiño Philippine national men’s football coach Hans Michael Weiss is thrilled to have Filipino-Spanish recruit Javier Patiño as the newest member of the Azkals. Patiño, despite his commitments with his club Cordoba CF in the Spanish second division league, made an effort to come to the country to arrange his Philippine passport, which will make him eligible to play for the Azkals. “I find that more than exciting because a player, during the season, makes that long trip to the Philippines and is getting ready to obtain his passport is a very good sign for us,” Weiss said. Patiño, who arrived Monday night, will not be able to join the Azkals practices this week as he has to fly back immediately to Spain to return to his club. Weiss has high hopes for the highly-touted Patiño, a striker who could ease the offensive burden off scorers Phil Younghusband and Angel Guirado. “That gives us strong options of physically top players who can fit in anytime for our team,” Weiss said. “If we need them, and I think we need them, (it will take the team) to the next higher level.” Born to a Filipino mother, Patiño has scored 11 goals in 62 appearances with Cordoba since joining the club in 2011. The Azkals are currently preparing for the 2014 Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup qualifiers in Manila this March, where they aim to top their group which features Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia and Turkmenistan to advance to the tournament proper next year in Maldives. www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/azkals-coach-weiss-high-on-fil-spanish-striker-javier-patinogreat news we got a real striker here folks ASEAN here we come on the other side does Weiss got 9 lives??every time he is in deep sh*t a miracle suddenly appears.what a luck

Who's that hot chick with them at the airport (Venus Fajardo)? Kaninong shoting yun? So ano na latest updates, were they able to cut the DFA & BI's notorious red tape? If so, let's welcome our newest withdrawn striker Phil YH & our newest left-wing MF Angel Guirado, hahaha. Also, our newest super-sub striker Denis Wolf. ;P

Move this to the profile sub-forum na if it's already confirmed that he has indeed completed all his paperwork. Did he also get his Phil. passport the same day? Super-express yun kung ganun.

Hehehe. ;D Kalma muna, p're. Javi needs to be capped first before we move this to the Profiles sub-board. Wag tayo padalos-dalos. According to Rafa Garcia's tweets, he just processed his passport this morning. He apparently also dropped by the Azkals practice at Rizal. He will fly back to Spain tomorrow morning.

New Filipino-Spanish striker for Azkals As a striker for Spanish second division side Cordoba, Javier Patiño Lachica earned a reputation as a scorer of important goals, which prompted the club’s fans to christen him with the monicker “Patigol” in reference to Argentine great Gabriel Batistuta. Now, the prolific Filipino-Spanish striker hopes to bring his scoring exploits to the Philippine national side starting with the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers next month in Manila. “I’m good at scoring goals and I’m a team player,” Patiño told the Inquirer in an exclusive interview Tuesday night just before he returned to Spain. Patiño, who only speaks Spanish, was in Manila for a couple of days to process his passport, which will pave the way for him to boost the Azkals’ attack. Patiño had long been in the Azkals’ sights since Filipino-Spanish defender Juani Guirado told team manager Dan Palami that the striker had Filipino lineage. Guirado was instrumental in convincing Patiño to play for his mother’s homeland—mostly through messages on Facebook. “Juani told me it would be a good experience,” said Patiño through interpreter Rafa Garcia. Patiño’s mother, Adolfa Cristina Lachica, hails from Dumanjug, Cebu, and she couldn’t have been happier when Madrid-born Javier, 24, made the decision. “My mother was very emotional,” said Javier, whose last visit in the country was when he was 12. “It’s always been her hope that we reconnect with family and relatives who we haven’t seen for a long time.” “What I learn in Spain I will try to impart to the team,” said Patiño. “I didn’t imagine [joining the Azkals] last year, but I’m here to help.” sports.inquirer.net/84685/new-filipino-spanish-striker-for-azkalsgooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal patinoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Batistuta's nickname is Batigol not Patigol although Patino's Spanish fans could have altered it based on the spelling of his last name. If Patino lives up to Batistuta's goaltending exploits(Argentina's all time leading goalscorer), we will finally have a striker that can produce even against the tougher opponents we will be facing in the AFC.
