AFTER a hectic six weeks preparing for the UFL Cup, the players and coaching staff of the Cebu Queen City United will take a break before taking to the pitch anew for its next challenge�the the United Football League Division 2.
�We are planning to hold another tryout soon so we can get more players but for now, we will be resting,� said head coach Mario Ceniza, who also handles Paref Springdale.
Unlike its shortened preparation for the UFL Cup�which only lasted a month�Cebu Queen City United will have a longer preparation for the league, which is expected to start in January.
Ceniza is also hoping the team gets to play a lot of friendly games with tough non-Cebu based teams so the squad will get to adjust to the style of play in the UFL, where top teams are quick to pounce on defensive errors to score a goal.
�I think it�s better that before coming up with the final lineup, we can have a lot of friendlies so we can really see how the players perform,� said Ceniza.
The players need not be college students, though Ceniza said college varsities have the advantage because they are already fit.
�As long as the players meet our requirements. They don�t have to be in college, because as of now, I can�t really speak for what the club can offer for them,� he said.
