Dooley sees hometown crowd inspiring PH Azkals

Philippine Azkals head coach Thomas Dooley said on Monday that winning the home game against Thailand in the two-leg semifinals of the Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium on Saturday is crucial for the Azkals.

“I’m always worried every game but you know I believe the players can play very well against the Thais. There’s no any pressure,” Dooley told The Manila Times in a phone interview. “We just have to stay competitively aggressive and smart against them.”
