Levi: Debut was dream come true.It is the best possible piece of advice you have been given Levi Garcia by your Coach . to simply be yourself .<<< ... keep your head up and remain focus young man . may god guide you along safely as you pursue your dream/s ... wishing you only the very best / guidance all the best to you .
By Shaun Fuentes (Guardian).
National Under 20 midfielder Levi Garcia says that making his professional debut for Netherlands top flight club AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Eredevisie has been a dream come through for him.
Garcia, who hails from Santa Flora entered the game wearing his number 28 shirt in the 68th minute in a 4-2 win over Feyeenord on the weekend. He eclipsed Dwight Yorke’s record of being the youngest T&T player to play in Europe.
“Making my debut was maybe the most important day in my life and my career,” Garcia said. “I was so excited that at one point I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. It was an amazing feeling and I would wish this could happen to any young boy who has dreams of being a professional footballer. I would tell any young man to go after his dreams,” he added.
Garcia said the advice from Alkmaar’s manager John van den Brom was to be himself on the pitch.
“The coach told me to just go on the field. No pressure. Play free and play your game. It was a big game for us so I was so excited but not afraid of the occasion or the challenge.
“My aim now is to be consistent and to stay in the first 18 for as many games as possible this season. I will be working to break into the first eleven and just try to keep getting better from there.
“The team is improving and doing well and I’m happy to be part of the set up. They have been taking care of me and it’s like a family here at the club. I couldn’t ask for more at this stage. Hopefully I can stay injury free and just keep improving and adding to my experiences as a player,” Garcia added.
AZ are currently tenth with 25 points on the 18-team table which is led by Ajax on 48 points.
. at this stage all preparations related to the women's 2016 Olympic qualifying tournament should be well underway ...!! DJW and yuh yes men ..........We watching closely<<<
DJW Clearly plotted his script , to suit his hidden agenda , it is also interesting to note the timing of this move .to fire coach waldrum... bachannal time i will watch de ride ..Perhaps it would be judicious for the TTFA to share as transparently as possible, the factors influencing the coaching change on the women's team. I can locate no evidence of that in the media release. Please recall, the public was told it's a new day at the TTFA. Act accordingly.
The word is that John-Williams requested a four-year development plan on a January 2nd (a Saturday at that) and gave him until that Monday (January 4th) to submit it. Waldrum requested additional time and was given until January 6th (Wednesday) to submit the plan. He submitted the plan at 1 am January 7th (Wednesday night/Thursday morning). Was fired for turning in the plan 'late.'
Ponder the insipidity of requesting something as substantial as a four-year development plan on the weekend, with an initial Monday deadline. Ponder the insipidity of firing (arguably) the most successful WNT coach in history, for being an hour late with a writing assignment (like is college all over again). Finally, ponder the insipidity of the excuse that you had to bypass the Constitution and use the ExCo to fire the coach, because there was no Technical Committee (whose responsibility it is to hire/fire the National Team coaches). This because you "had to take a decision" ...then naming a Technical Committee just two days later. What was the emergency?
WtfAh thought plaza was injured ? .......... Well Well Well
I hope hart watching this
Before the demolition crew takes over ...Nice feedback dreamer........ As for our warriors and coaching staff keep your heads up tough luck this time around ... there are alot of football ahead ..... russia world cup .qualifiers next ! Congrats to haiti
Very sad loss for a team that seemed to me to be trying very hard and was excellent at playing ball under pressure against a very physical Haiti. I thought our ball position and one touch and first touch under pressure was better than ever before actually. Yes we did miss KJ and Plaza up front for those crosses, free kicks and several crosses into the box, and we did miss Ball-pest and Molino and Guerra (latter also recovering from injury), Everybody played well in my opinion. Jan was sensational except for one unlucky defection-shift-the-wrong-way-goal. I see no need to bash Cyrus. We proved that even without Bateau, Carlysle Mitchell has re-established himself as a solid centerback, and showed he can handle stuff at this level. Remember he was our top central defender before he was sent off to exile in Korea and before Bateau came knocking on the door and Radanfah upped his game.
We will miss playing in the Copa. I grieve but it was not meant to be, but there is still football to play for. This team is showing very good midfield and defense depth (no Justin Hoyte, no Bateau), with need to get more depth in the potent strikers and replacements for Ball pest. Good news is that we will be seeing Molino by march 2016.
Good coaching tactics by BraveHart in my opinion. The loss makes it look like we were supposed to lose or inferior but I don't see it that way. Haiti is trouble always. Their keeper was scrappy but had wicked reflexes for every shot, deflection and potential own goal coming his way.
A for effort my Warriors. I know it hurts. No sweat, chin up and attack with full force against Vincy in the next 2 World Cup qualifiers.
I was there from U12 in 90 all the way to the senior team in 99. What about you, when were you there?played for the under17's and senior team....middle 70s team
Yes deeks Albert goddard played for colts & liverpool .... daiz de man self from belmont valley roadRIP to my former St Francois Nationals coach Albert Goddard
Did Albert played for Colts and a small side name Liverpool from up the valley road? RIP. Condolences to the Goddard family.
Condolence to the family and friends of Albert Goddard .... from Ex SFN er Soccerman what yrs you played for SFN ? curious
As a matter the views expressed by these two former players should be welcomed as they both tormented defences and know a thing or two about goal scoring .!! It's amazing as it appears only in TnT former players input are under utilized..or apprecaited In any other footballing /soccer playing countries past players are certainly a prized commodities .... and their views are welcomed and respected... Anyways Big up to the former and present players
Alyuh forgetting one thing, is woman we dealing with and they don't always think logically but can sometimes let emotions cloud there judgement or reasoning... (Ladies doh buss meh head, you know is trueAdam with all due respect the comment as in referrence to { woman / women not always thinking logically but can sometimes allow their emotions to cloud their judgement or reasoning ) is sexist ! sorry bro its not really reassuring to the ladies cause ..
With that said, Maylee, Kenya and the entire team has Sacrificed tremendously for the sake of women's football. They've given Blood, sweat and plenty of tears, and has put ladies football on the Map, so I can't be vex with them for voicing there displeasure and concerns. They should be free to do so without fear of persecution from this Administration and even the fans. They, at the very least deserve a lil God damn respect from the TTFA for there service to our National Team. Ladies, I and hope the matter is resolved
wishing our warriors only de best .. god bless
