THE Strong Group is banking on its sixth man—overseas Filipino workers —in Dubai for a much-needed boost as it takes on an expectedly tough field in the 32nd Dubai International Championship beginning Friday.
Strong Group Head Coach Charles Tiu said they will need all the help from the Filipino crowd as they go up against top Middle East teams, including the Lebanese squads which, according to the young coach, pose a huge threat to the country’s bid for a second-straight title in the tournament. “All the Lebanese teams will be tough. Al-Riyadi, of course, which we played in the championship the last time and in the semifinals the year before that,” Tiu said. “Beirut Lebanon and Dynamo Lebanon are all tough. And then we have the teams from Tunisia, Morocco and Iraq.”
Tiu said the team tried to tap Justin Brownlee and Andray Blatche but both aren’t available. De La Salle forward Kevin Quiambao will be filling in at the shade.
