Eve closer to Final 24

Eve closer to Final 24

Trinidad and Tobago’s U-20 Men’s team head coach Angus Eve is a couple days away from trimming his squad to twenty four players for the upcoming CONCACAF Men’s U-20 championship in Honduras.

Eve has had a provision squad in a residential camp at the TTFA Home of Football for the past couple of weeks. On Thursday, T&T lost 1-0 to Guyana’s Senior Men’s team at the Ato Boldon Stadium in a closed door training match. They will face Police FC today at 4pm at the same venue.

“Most of the players came in from abroad and the other half of the players are from the screening that we’ve done in Trinidad and Tobago,” Eve said. We’ve done extensive scouting in North America and all over. We recruited guys who have different backgrounds in Europe. We’ve been training once a day because of the humidity. It’s been going really well, the guys have been working very hard and it’s been very competitive.”

“I want to play the way we normally play in Trinidad and Tobago, I want to express that, allow the kids to express themselves in the final third, really put the skills and talent that they have, I am not putting any restrictions on that.

But obviously, in our half, we want to be resolute, be very solid defensively so we could build a platform for these players to go forward and express themselves.”

The T&T U-20 Men’s Team will come up against Haiti, Suriname and Mexico in opening group phase action at the CONCACAF championship and Men’s U-20 World Cup qualifiers in Honduras next month.
