FIL-GERMAN booter Patrick Herget is reportedly arriving in Manila today to attend next week�s tryout for the Philippine Azkals football tam.
The 18-year-old Herget, a fullback and rightwinger for German football club Viktoria Aschaffenburg in 6th Bundesliga, is one of five Fil-Germans, who responded to calls to join the tryouts in the Philippines.
The Fil-Germans learned of the tryouts when national team manager Dan Palami went to Frankfurt last week and met with officials of the Deutscher Futball-Bund, the governing body of the sport in Germany.
Philippine Football Federation officials also confirmed yesterday that Mark Drinkuth is coming back and will bring with him John Patrick Hindrichsen, Oliver Potlschke and Jason Sabio.
New coach Hans Michael Weiss is also expected to be in the country by Wednesday.
�Some of those who want to be with the Azkals are already here. The others are coming next week,� said Palami.
Sources said the PFF had contacted Herget to join the national 17-under team back when he was only 14 years old, but the Fil-German prospect reportedly declined.
Fil-Danish booters Dennis Cagara and Jerry Lucena and Fil-German Stephan Markus Schrock were assured of making it to the team given their experience in playing for their respective clubs in first and second division tournaments.
The three-day tryouts begin on Monday at the University of Makati grounds. Peter Atencio
