'We'll win at home' warns Trini coach
By:Stephen Wright (Royal Gazette)


Coach Zoran Vranes praised Bermuda Under-23s for being tough opponents yesterday but insisted they would be well beaten when they visited Trinidad later this year.

Vranes said he was not overly disappointed about his team's failure to complete a clean sweep after being held to a draw by Bermuda in the final match of the three-game tour.

He believed Trinidad's victory over Premier Division champions Devonshire Cougars two days earlier had taken its toll on his players who he thought appeared tired during yesterday's match.

"Bermuda played a bit better today," said Vranes, "but I am not too disappointed we did not win. We finished undefeated which, of course, is what we expected ... if we play them in Trinidad later this year we will definitely beat them.

"It was a tough schedule for us, playing three games in five days and I think today our players showed they are not fit enough."

The Serbian, who led Trinidad to the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt in September, said his team had been without three key players yesterday because of injuries.

"We were missing about three players who picked up injuries. We only came with a squad of 17players and we tried to give them all a game. They all benefitted from this trip."

He also critisised Bermuda referee Anthony Francis for allowing yesterday's game to be played in an overly physical fashion.

"I thought the referee allowed both teams to play a bit rougher than he should, but that is okay as well."
