Title: W Connection off to Mexico...hoping to create history.
Post by: dreamer on February 19, 2007, 08:52:18 PM: W Connection off to Mexico.
...hoping to create history.
By: Joel Villafana (ttproleague).[/size]

In the heights of the 2007 Carnival festivities, a disciplined bunch of footballers from Couva left all the thrills and excitement behind, seeking to create history.
The 2007 TT Pro League runners-up Vibe CT 105 W Connection departed the Piarco International Airport just after 6 a.m. on Carnival Monday morning full of confidence in their chances to move past the quarter final round of CONCACAF Champions Cup for the first time in their club’s history.
W Connection are scheduled to face Mexican Champions Chivas in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter final round on February 28.
The ‘Savonetta Boys’ brought joy to home fans last Tuesday when they rose above all expectations to defeat the Mexican champions Chivas 2-1 at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium in the first leg of the home and away quarter final tie.
Looking ahead to the return leg, Club President David John Williams called it the biggest game in his club’s seven-year history.
Speaking to ‘ttproleague.com’, Mr. John Williams said, “This is no doubt our biggest game thus far, I see it as the most important game in the club’s history, we have a real chance of moving on to the semifinals of the tournament and becoming one of the top four teams in CONCACAF in 2007.”
The W Connection owner continued, “Not only is this game important for us, but I believe it is very important for the TT Pro League and Trinidad and Tobago’s football, this is an opportunity to show the world that we have a quality professional league in Trinidad and Tobago and we are capable of producing players to compete at the highest international standard.”
He confirmed the team trained up until Sunday night, before leaving for Mexico on Monday morning and said everyone in the camp was in high spirits.
“The guys are all upbeat, the sprit in the camp is high, and they have an opportunity to get into Mexico nine days ahead of the match, so they can properly acclimatize to conditions.”
Williams reflected on his team’s battle with Toluca, another top Mexican club back in 2003 in the CONCACAF Champions Cup where W Connection were edged out at the quarter final stage, having lost 3-2 in Mexico, and was only able to pull off a 3-3 draw at home.
However, David John Williams says a lot is different this time around, “First to begin with this time we played our home game first, and we are traveling to Mexico with an advantage. Another important factor is that this time the game in Mexico is not at high altitude as it was back then,” and while he admits his squad in 2004 was a much more experienced bunch, he strongly believes his crop of young players has what it takes to get the required results.
He told ‘ttproleague.com’, in no uncertain terms, “Most definitely, I am very confident that the boys can pull off the result we need, coming off the performance in the first leg where we played 71 minutes with 10 men and only committed three fouls, it shows the level at which the team is currently performing, and I am expecting nothing less than the required result to propel us through to the semi-finals.”
Pro League teams throw full support behind W Connection.
By: Vinod Narwani (ttproleague.com).[/size]

TT Pro League powerhouses Vibe CT 105 W Connection have received full support from United Petrotrin head coach Brian Williams and North East Stars President Darryl Mahabir ahead of their return leg quarterfinal clash against Mexican powerhouses Chivas in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Connection, who beat Chivas 2-1 in the first leg at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium, left for Mexico on Carnival Monday to prepare for the crucial encounter against their opponents on February 28.
Looking back at Connection’s opening triumph over the Mexican giants Williams believes it’s a sign of good things to come for the TT Pro League.
“Every bona fide football fan who has an interest in the Pro League will see that it was a good victory for the sake of the league on the whole,” said Williams.
“It was good to see a local side being competitive against Chivas and getting that type of result. It was a great victory for Caribbean football, and the Pro League teams can only build from here on, as it will give all of us that sort of firepower to emulate such a feat, as we aim to raise the standard of football in Trinidad and Tobago.”
The former Strike Squad defender was however; quick to add that the return leg was going to be tough for the ‘Savonetta Boys’, but he admitted the Couva-based side could reach the semi-final stage of the prestigious CONCACAF club tournament once they remain focused.
“Going out to Mexico is going to be pretty difficult for Connection, but they must play the game according to the situation as they try to qualify for the next round.”
“W Connection only need a draw out there, but I am not suggesting that they must go out there and play a totally defensive game. If Connection apply themselves properly, concentrate and be disciplined in their approach, they can pull off the necessary result,” said the National Under-20 Coach.
Even though Connection and United Petrotrin are archrivals at local level, Williams gave the Earl Jean-led side his full backing to bring glory to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
“W Connection are going there to represent T&T which means all our support at that level is needed. They have achieved a lot in such a short space of time in Trinidad and Tobago football, so we must give Connection our support and hope they do well… at the end of the day it’s all about country.”
Darryl Mahabir was also full of praise for W Connection, stating that a victory for the club augurs well for the TT Pro League on the whole.
“We at North East Stars will give our support to W Connection based on the fact they are one of the top clubs in the country, and we expect that they would pull off a win in Mexico,” said Mahabir.
“The clubs in the TT Pro League would expect to be given a big boost if W Connection wins, because it would show that the level of football that we play in Trinidad and Tobago can match that of other countries in the world.”
Mahabir felt that Connection’s participation in Mexico in the CONCACAF Champions Cup four years ago when they played Toluca could come in handy for the upcoming clash.
Connection went under 3-2 to Toluca on that occasion in their quarterfinal round of 16; the Mexicans eventually went on to win the competition.
Mahabir said, “Their past experience in Mexico should give them a little knowledge as to how they must go about their business across there.”
“I think they are playing great football at this time, and I think once they continue playing the game they are accustomed to, they stand a good chance of overcoming the Mexicans,” ended Mahabir.

Post by: Warlord on February 20, 2007, 12:43:58 AM: Good luck to Connection in the return leg at jalisco stadium. They will not bunker and play for a draw. I know they will get a good result because they will attack the goats but play smart football.

Another good thing is that they are going 9 days ahead of match day. They will be ready and focused for the task at hand. :bringiton:

Post by: Jahyouth on February 20, 2007, 11:32:20 AM: I watched that game the other night. A more one-sided game would be hard to find.

W Connection have some serious licks to get.

What is more of a concern, however, is the fact that W Connection is a top team that often dominates the PFL. They looked TOTALLY outclassed against Chivas.

PFL quality (or lack of it) was on show that night, regardless of the final score.

The Mexican commentators wer having an argument whether W Connection was a Professional team or an amateur set up. One commentator said that no, he spoke to Seabra the night before and Seabra told him that yes, they were professional. The other commentator replied, "the quality of the players does not show a professional team at all. I am sure that many of them drive taxis during the day as well."

who cares what the mexican commentators think. Mexican teams don't like to lose to CFU because they think CFU teams are inferior so what do you expect?

Any excuse will be made up to try to justify losing. I was ova on BS and I read all the post about the Chivas/Connection match. First the Chivas fans claimed they lost because they were over confident...then they blamed the player selection...then the coaching tactics and the list goes on... ;D

You would do well to stop making these people feel that they are the best thing since slice bread. They struggle to beat CFU teams namely Trinidad and Tobago teams in the Caribbean. I wan't them ousted justr because of their arrogance and if Connection does that they will get alot more respect not only for the club but for CFU football in general ;)

I wan't them ousted justr because of their arrogance and if Connection does that they will get alot more respect not only for the club but for CFU football in general ;)

Let's begin by pointing out that yes, CFU club teams ARE inferior to the Mexican club teams. There is no doubt about that. The quality of the Mexican league is incredible.

Secondly, I believe that W Connection did surprise Chivas. They must have been surprised of how little quality W Connection had, and lulled themselves to sleep. In a home and away series, a team that knows it is way better than an opponent can get lazy in a first leg away knowing that the home leg is still to come.

Thirdly, I would like W Connection to win. Of course I would. But a 4 goal thrashing is not out of the question. Don't be surprised at all if Connection gets humbled.

As goes the commentators, I agree that there may be a bit of arrogance there, but what do you expect with a country that has literally owned CONCACAF for the past 20 years?

And to Ponnoxx whp talked about tactics in football..... boy what to say? I agree that W Connection may have set out to soak up pressure, defend with 11, and play on the counter, but come on.... the Mexican finishing was woesome and they looked like they were toying with Connection. Not just that, the Connection players (except Seabra, Goulart, Jean and the last stopper who was taking the goal kicks) looked like real amateurs. They couldn't even string 5 passes together. It was pathetic.

That being said, when last has anyone seen a defender taking goal kicks for a keeper who is not injured? That is something I have not seen for YEARS. Real Under-14 thing.

Come on fellas, face it nah. The display was piss poor, the result was great, but the away leg is real licks for Connection.

While I agree that the Mexican League is the best in Concacaf you seem to overrate them too much. Maybe you feel inferior to Mexicans but the Connection players obviously didn't!

You speak of the fact that W Connection couldn't put 5 passes together. Did you also see where Chivas' had most of the possession and couldn't break down the pesky Connection defence. With 10 players they had to defend for the most part yet they managed to score two goals against a top Concacaf club side....what does that tell you?

That in itself is afeat and the coaching tactics used by the Connection coach worked. even the tactical substitution payed dividends for the team.

You are a perfect example of someone who cannot accept a win even though the way it was achieved wasn't to your liking. If you think that making 30-40 passes in a midfield and not being able to create openings in the opposing teams defence is good football then you have a lot to learn about the beautiful game ;D

Title: Re: W Connection off to Mexico...hoping to create history.
Post by: KND2 on February 20, 2007, 03:56:10 PM: If i was W connection I would be very confident.

The fact that the game is one sided has more to do with the fact that they were down a man and addopted a defensive stance.

W connection did an excellent Job of sitting back and not giving the mexicans space behind their backs. the complete opposite of what TnT did against costa rica.

In addition W connection proved that they will be able to pass the ball around and the proved that they can score on this team.

I think if they did not get a man sent off the game would have been more balanced.

Chivas is obviously favourites but W connection can pull it off.

yes they game up territory but this was a game plan decision and it proved to be the right one.

Post by: Ponnoxx on February 20, 2007, 06:06:47 PM: Don't study JahYouth he obviously don't know much about football and defensive shape and stuff like that...Also Chivas chances? Half chances for the most part because they always had to contend with the ever-present Connection Centre Back for the chances you stated...Connection scored the best goal and played within their strengths and won the game...Chivas obviously does play higher level of football but Connection raise their game and I feel they will do it again

Post by: PantherX on February 20, 2007, 10:29:15 PM: I'm surprised at the harsh criticism of W Connection considering that they won the game.

As a man who hasn't watched local football in 15 years I thought that they were very competitive. Chivas were technically better and their passing had WC spinning at times but I don't feel that WC were overwhelmed. I felt that WC were physically stronger and fitter and for the most part they kept their composure. At times they rode their luck and would have conceded more goals but for poor finishing.....but then again so did Chivas.

I would have liked to see more locals on the field but overall I was pleased with the performance, local football has come a long way.

Do the other PFL teams play at this level or is W connection a singular example?

Post by: Jefferz on February 21, 2007, 10:16:00 AM: Well, i'm bracing for a serious cutass and hoping for a draw or maybe even a sneak it on the counter attack win...

I think the next few days should be used to create a tight knit disiplin both in passing the ball and defending from it...

At this point I blieve just about anything can happen...

Lets hope for a positive result.

I am feeling very good about W Connection chances though, now they have to go there and not get excited, just play it simple and very tactical.

Good Luck W Connection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jefferz you have me real confused here,i don't know if you waiting for if they win to jump on the bandwagon,you barceing for a cutass yet you hoping for a draw and at the same time you wish they can sneek one in on a counter attack to win,this game is not for chickens is either you for or against,is either you believe or you don't,come on big man it's T&T we talking about,why do we always feel other people are better than us.

Post by: dcs on February 22, 2007, 11:19:52 AM: Last time out Connection lost 3-2 to Tolouca in Mexico.

I don't think the Connection players have any fear going into this match so we should have some confidence in them despite the hype about Chivas. Chivas looks vulnerable to me.

More about that later, but I just must mention how much bigg-up Connection got over and over, with the Seabra goal-Earl John assist shown over and over. Connection's name recognition is soaring (relatively speaking) and they should capitalize on it. They kept advertizing when the game will be shown LIVE at 9:30 pm as millions, and I mean millions would be watching. The T&T Tourist Board should have been on the ball and bought advertizing time. Trust me the Jamaicans would have done it.

Anyway, win, lose or draw this is exciting stuff. Connection can pull this off. Classic David and "so-called" Goliath.

W Connection They leave the jalisco stadium impressed.
From 10 thousand spectators to 70 thousand, there is a great difference, and for the players of the W Connection it will be another factor against in the game agaist Chivas.
The players of the Connection had the opportunity to attend Wednesday the Jalisco Stadium to see Chivas, their rival in Concacaf Champions Cup, which besides the game, could appreciate the monumental Colossus of Calzada Independencia. “Its fantastic Stadium, and what pleases me the most is that it is an only soccer staidum, is specifically for use of that and nothing else, all my players are very happy to be able to play in this stadium, since it is a field that has much history and they are pleased in having the opportunity to play here, and in addition the field is in perfect conditions”, commented Stuart Charles, Coach of the W Connection.
Its every brazilian dream to play in such stage, mainly because we saw Pelé, and not only for us but for all the young players, since this team brings many young people, but hope to do a good game knowing that all people will be supporting Chivas”, Gefferson Goulart commented, one of the best players of the trini's.

*Jalisco Stadium was home to the Brazilian NT during the 1970 and 1986 World Cups celebrated in Mexico.

The trini's where impressed to see themselfs allready on the main sport pages of the newspapers
and the attention the sport gets on this side of the hoods.
