Payo ni Guiao kay Pacquiao
MANILA, Philippines - Kinatigan ni Rain or Shine coach at Pampanga Rep. Joseller “Yeng†Guiao ang desisyon ni boxing champion Manny Pacquiao na maging head coach na lamang ng expansion team na Kia Motors sa PBA.
Ayon kay Guiao, maaaring makaapekto kay Pacquiao, kinatawan ng Sarangani sa Kongreso, ang pagiging player sa PBA.
“Playing is physically demanding, unlike coaching. It might affect his boxing skills and capabilities,†wika ni Guiao kay ‘Pacman.’
Sa pagiging head coach ng Kia Motors, sinabi naman ni Guiao na dapat ay maging handa si Pacquiao na tumanggap ng pagkatalo sa halos tatlong taon na ilalagi ng kanyang koponan.
“You cannot build a strong team in less than three years. You have to be patient. You have to expect the opposition to clobber you,†wika ni Guiao.
“If Manny can accept that, it’s okay. But if you were Manny Pacquiao, if you are a boxing champion, why would you accept it? Besides, people will clamor for results,†dagdag pa nito.
Ayon pa kay Guiao, kung gusto ni Pacquiao na kaagad magkaroon ng malakas na koponan ay “he has to buy players from the stronger teams. But the PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) discourages that. That’s why they have set a salary cap. They want to build your team from scratch,†wika ni Guiao.
Sinabi pa ni Guiao na hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit gusto pa ni Pacquiao na pumasok sa basketball scene imbes na tutukan ang kanyang boxing career kung saan malaki ang kita niya at trabaho sa Kongreso.
