Daisuke Sato: To Make the Country Proud
The 1-5 loss against Uzbekistan may have dampened the mood for the Philippines but it served as the coming of age for defender Daisuke Sato.
Ever since he made his debut in April 2014, Sato has made the left back position his own with his ferocity in fighting for the ball.
Against a superiorly strong Uzbekistan side last Tuesday, Sato held his own and never gave up throughout the 90 minutes. Additionally, the defender played the match still wearing a soft cast on his right arm.
“I don’t want to lose any games especially against a team 49 places above us,” said the 20-year-old defender. “I always want to make the country proud.”
With five more games remaining in the Qualifiers, Sato looked at the loss as an over and done affair and has set his sights on the upcoming fixtures. The Azkals face DPR Korea on October 8th in Pyongyang and then Bahrain on October 13th in Manama.
“We need to set our minds on those games,” added Sato. “We just need to keep on going.”
Dooley hailed Sato’s performance as “absolutely outstanding.”
