Isa ang balanced diet sa mga importanteng bagay para sa mga atleta. Kaya naman para sa Azkals member na si Phil Younghusband, kailangan niyang bantayan ang kanyang kinakain.

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang miyembro ng media si Phil noong Sabado, Nobyembre 26, sa meet-and-greet event nila sa Kenny Roger's restaurant sa SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.

Inamin ni Phil na mahilig siyang kumain. Pero ngayong nagkaka-edad na siya at may palapit na football match, kailangan niyang kontrolin ang kanyang pagkain.

Paliwanag ng 24-year-old football player, "Usually, it depends on the time of the season.

"Usually, when I'm playing football, I try to relax with what I eat because I know I can burn the calories off.

"But if I have time off, then I try to watch what I eat, so I don't put on too much fat or eat too much carbohydrates.

"But now I'm getting older, I think I have to watch what I eat more.

"When I was younger—when I was eighteen, nineteen, twenty—I could burn it off very quickly.

"But now, now, I have to watch what I eat."

AZKALS VS. L.A. GALAXY. Samantala, nakangiting ikinuwento ni Phil ang tungkol sa papalapit na laban ng team Azkals sa international team na L.A. Galaxy.

Ang L.A. Galaxy ay isang football team na naka-base sa Los Angeles, California, at isa sa sampung kinikilalang koponan sa Major League Soccer.

"It is very exciting!" bulalas ng Azkals forward player.

"It's good exposure for the Azkals, not only locally, but internationally.

"I think it's good exposure for the team and it'll be a good experience for the team."

Bukod pa rito, isa rin sa pinananabikan ni Phil ay ang pagkakaroon ng pagkakataong makalaban ang idolong  si David Beckham—isa sa star players ng L.A. Galaxy.
