We are not yet where we should be, but I think slowly, we are gaining momentum which is good.  I think with Ceres next week we probably have to go higher (take it a notch higher).  But when we play against each other, I think you’ll find that the teams lift themselves because there’ll be a lot of Azkals players, playing against each other, they know each other very well and nobody wants to lose that game.”<br /><br />“GLOBAL FC fans are also encouraged to root for their team this Thursday, March 3.  There is nothing like a stadium full of screaming fans”, Coach Manson adds.<br /><br />GLOBAL FC vs. Ceres FC takes place on March 3, Thursday, 8:30 p.m. at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.</div>
