Sacapano to the rescue Backup keeper rises to the occasion for Azkals By Cedelf P. Tupas 1:55 am | Saturday, December 1st, 2012 1 30 12 Ed Sacapano doing a tremendous job for the Philippines. Photo by Lito Tecson, CEBU DAILY NEWS BANGKOK—Philippines goalkeeper Ed Sacapano understood the apprehensions when he was thrust into the limelight following the absence of Neil Etheridge and Roland Muller in the AFF Suzuki Cup here. He knew he had a huge void to fill with Etheridge at his finest in the previous tournament when the Azkals reached the semifinals for the first time two years ago. But what was deemed as a weakness at the start of the tournament has now emerged as one of the strengths of the Azkals’ campaign here with Sacapano rising to the occasion. The Army goalkeeper has been solid, pulling off a reflex save on a strike by Vietnamese Le Tan Tai in the dying minutes that preserved the Azkals’ 1-0 win over Vietnam and kept the Philippines in contention for a semifinal spot. “There was a lot of pressure on my part, but I’ve been doubling my efforts in this tournament,†said Sacapano, who was set to earn his fourth straight start for the national side last night against Myanamar in the Azkals’ final group match. The 5-foot-9, 32-year-old Army standout is actually among the shortest goalkeepers in the eight-team tournament. But he has been among the most composed and his distribution of the ball to strikers like Phil Younghusband is also noteworthy. Sacapano’s good form has not escaped the critical eyes of Swiss goalkeeper coach Pascal Zuberbuhler. “Eduard has played a good tournament so far,†said Zuberbuhler. “He makes good decisions and he goes full power when he makes these decisions. He was very cool and relaxed and he has good distribution.†The 41-year-old Swiss certainly knows what he’s talking about. He’s also worked with Etheridge at Fulham the past three years, which was one of the main reasons why Azkals manager Dan Palami was able to tap him to help out. “I come from Europe and the keepers are always taller so this is something new for me,†the 6-foot-5 Zuberbuhler said. sports.inquirer.net/74161/sacapano-to-the-rescue

PFF brings in 'new coach' for Azkals THE PHILIPPINE Football Federation (PFF) has brought in a “new coach” for the Philippine Azkals ahead of the team’s campaign to qualify in the 2014 Challenge Cup. On Thursday, the PFF introduced Pascal Zuberbühler, a former goal keeper for the Swiss national football team and Fullham Football Club, at a press conference for the Challenge Cup qualifiers later this month. The federation hired the 6-foot-5 Zuberbühler as the Azkals’ goalkeeper coach. “I’ve been here [in the Philippines] since January and I’ll stay here until March,” the Swiss said. Also present during the press conference were head coach Michael Weiss, PFF secretary general Ed Gastanes and Azkals players Chieffy Caligdong and Juani Guirado. The 42-year-old Zuberbühler, who was part of the Swiss team that qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, is overseeing the training of Azkals keeper Eduard Sacapaño and other Filipino goalies who are included in the training pool. “I’m very pleased to train with him all the time, he’s made improvements,” said Zuberbühler of Sacapaño.
The Swiss was actually a part of the Azkals' coaching staff two years ago. In 2011, he had a short stint as the team's goalkeeping coach prior to the Azkals first round first leg 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sri Lanka in June 2011.
