A veteran player from Germany, Denis Santos Wolf, will reinforce the Philippine Azkals in their coming international sorties, particularly the AFC Challenge Cup in Nepal in March.
The 29-year-old Wolf, a striker/attacking midfielder for Regionalliga Nord club FC Magdeburg, arrived in Manila this week to join the Azkals� practices as the team began its preparations for the March 8-19 Challenge Cup.
�I don�t know the whole team (yet) but a lot of good characters in them. Looking forward (to playing with the Azkals),� Wolf was quoted in an ABS-CBN report.
Wolf is one of two new recruits for the Azkals� Challenge Cup campaign. The other is Fil-Spanish defender Juan Luis Guirado, older brother of Angel, who is due in February yet.
�He arrives next month for the Dubai camp,� said team coordinator Ace Bright of the player in the Tercera Division who�s expected to fill in for injured defender Aly Borromeo and hook up with seasoned Fil-British Rob Gier at the back.
The Azkals will play Korean club Icheon Citizen on Saturday in a charity match at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium, a sort of warm-up for their Challenge Cup buildup.
Phl XI will hold a training camp in Dubai from Feb. 6-17, highlighted by four matches against topnotch clubs there and possibly the Australian U-23 team.
