Every body: Barcelona style promotes the development of Philippine football and is expected to return to the Asian Cup

According to Daily Sports News, the Philippine national team, which has a strong Barcelona background, is expected to return to the Asian Cup.

The Philippine national team, led by Carles Cuadrat, supplemented by Albert Roca and Dimas Delgado, played East Timor at home and away in the Asian Cup qualifiers, defeated the Maldives 4-1 at home, and drew 2-2 at home with Tajikistan. The qualifying situation is very optimistic.

Carles Cuadrat, Alberto Roca and Dimas Delgado all have backgrounds in Barcelona and La Masia. Under their leadership, the Philippines performed well in the Asian Cup qualifiers, scoring 13 goals in 4 games. There are currently 2 rounds of qualifiers left. The Philippines leads in goal difference and ranks first in the group. It is very likely to beat Tajikistan in March next year and return to the Asian Cup. The last time the Philippine team participated in the Asian Cup was in 2019.

Cuadrat, who took over the Philippines team last summer, is inspiring attention to football in a country where basketball is the main sport.
