Phil wala pang planong ma-in love uli

MANILA, Philippines - Sobrang desidido ang Azkals player na si Phil Younghusband na palaganapin ang larong football sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng pagtatayo ng Football academy.

Sa guesting ng binata sa Ikaw Na! segment ng Bandila ni Boy Abunda ay sinabi niyang magbubukas na ang academy sa Circuit Makati.

 â€œWe have the opening of the Chelsea Blue Pitch on the fifteenth of January. It’s a Blue Pitch but lot of the programs will be run by the Chelsea Football Academy and the Younghusband Football Academy.

“But it’s a football field na kulay blue, the first full-sized artificial football field na kulay blue in the Philippines,” pahayag ni Phil.

Masaya rin siya dahil maraming kabataan ang gusto talagang matutunan ang sport na ito.

Dagdag niya, “It’s good. Siyempre in summer it’s more popular with the kids. Yes, more kids now (are playing football) compared to maybe two or three years ago.”

Masasabi ba niyang football year o basketball year ang 2013?

“It was a sporting year,” sagot ng football star.

Ayon pa kay Phil, hindi naman dapat magkaroon ng kumpetisyon o pasikatan sa pagitan ng basketball at football.

“Walang competition. I don’t think there’s competition.

“I think it’s about sports in general being promoted,” pahayag pa nito.

Bilang isang football player, ano ang best thing na nangyari kay Phil noong 2013?

 â€œFor me, winning the UFL (United Football League) Cup. It was the first time that Meralco Sparks won a competition,” sagot pa nito.

’Pag sinasabing siya ang star player ng Azkals, ano ang reaksiyon niya?

“I smile,” maikli niyang tugon.

Worst thing namang maituturing ni Phil na nangyari sa kanya noong isang taon ang paghihiwalay nila ng aktres na si Angel Locsin.

“The worst thing? Probably losing someone I love,” sabi ni Phil.

Ano ang sinasabi niya kapag may nagtatanong sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari?

“I think the good thing is that, friends and family, they respect you,” sagot ni Phil.

Paano kung ibang tao na hindi niya kakilala ang nagtatanong, “You’re such a pair. What happened?”

“I smile and agree,” sabi na lang niya. “I mean, Angel and I are still good friends, which is the best.”

In 2014, are you looking for love? Are you ready to fall in love?  “Ngayon? Hindi ko sure,” sagot ni Phil.
