Phil Younghusband says they'll celebrate more when they win in bigger games

Last November 19, the Loyola Meralco Sparks officially booked a ticket to the Quarterfinals Stage in the 2013 UFL Cup. The Boys in Orange clearly beat the crap out of Cimarron FC lead by one Phil Younghusband. Albeit scoring a hat trick in that particular game, it's just another day in the office for the Sparks' Striker.

Phil was simply focused on getting the job done for his club that celebrating after scoring a goal wasn't even necessary. A 10-nil win was absolutely something to celebrate about but dude was just in the zone that day.

"I think it’s because of the 10th goal," Phil said with a chuckle. "I suppose it’s the game, maybe it’s a bigger celebration."

"But we all congratulate each other and shake each other’s hands. But I think right now we’re just concentrating on the job," explained the Sparks Striker.

In the first half against Cimarron FC, things got heated up. It sure got quite intense, so to speak, that maybe it was one of the reasons why he didn't want to celebrate in the first place. At least, that's all cleared up but for Phil though, emotions will run high if the game got close at the time.

"Usually emotions take over if the games could be closer – emotions could be a lot higher," Younghusband stressed.

With a spot in the Quarterfinals, perhaps we'll see Phil celebrate more when the Sparks go up against rival Global FC on Tuesday, November 26. It's a big game indeed.

"Right now we’re in good position(s). Hopefully our celebrations will be a lot more elaborate and bigger – that means we’ll be winning bigger games," said Phil.
