Williams satisfied with performance
T&T Newsday

KESTON WILLIAMS has expressed his satisfaction after his performance in the 2010 FIFA World Cup CONCACAF Zone Final Round Qualifier against El Salvador at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo on August 12.

The 28-year-old Trinidad and Tobago defender was used as a left-back, instead of his regular centre-back role, by coach Russell Latapy as TT prevailed 1-0.

The Defence Force player, who was making his fourth international appearance, noted recently, “it was the second time I played in front of my home crowd but the first time in a World Cup qualifier.

“It was a bit more intense than the first time, being the position that we’re in,” he continued.

“We were in last position and a win would take us level with El Salvador. We got exactly what we came for.”

With regards to his use as a left-back, Williams commented, “the ability to play with my both (feet), in training, the coach tried me in a left-back position.

“Actually, I’ve played it in the past so it wasn’t a problem,” added Williams. “I was up for the challenge.”

The defender was noticeably tired in the second half and he stated, “I underestimated the occasion but, as a soldier, we have a never-die attitude, we go straight through till the end.”

He is philosophical about his immediate future, at international and at club level.

“I’ll continue working hard and I believe in God. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Him,” he said. “Constant prayers and I know that I intend to stay and continue working hard.”

" I underestimated the occasion"- Please- A 28 year old under estimated the occasion and as a soldier not fit. I hope his chaplain in the Army would sit him down and tell him that God expects a hundred percent fitness level and not to underestimate anything or anyone. Faith without works is dead.

how does one estimate or prepare for "the occasion" anyway...Ask any major athlete, when the big event present itself, if , no matter how much they prepare, how ready they feel they is, once they step in front the crowd....One could play 25 warmups, and 10 National friendlies, but once yuh step on that field, yuh belly start fluttering and yuh mind start laying tricks...it could hardly be ever business like usual...the trick in some cases is, making the opposition think, you treating it as such....I fully understand what the man mean, and 'm sure many here do, even if some feel he must be lashed for sayin it...."you can't handle the truth" - Jack...wait... wrong Jack...forget it

Top athletes always estimate for pre game/event flutters and thus prepare. This is what separate top athletes from athletes.

the man 1st real call for TRINIDAD & TOBAGO, and he get to be ah top athlete...I guess, but then it kinda depend on the size ah the pond...buh since we defense kind-ah-kinda, one doh really have to be no big fish in truth... for now, I think he just an athlete, hopefully the Top go come later

He wasn't talking about butterflies, though. He was talking about getting tired. He underestimated the situation with respect to the required fitness.

I think he means ,hr thought he was fit enough ,but he was wrong when he get pace like that .

[Deeks]

No wonder DF has not won any major trophies in a while.

[maxg]

but no matter how much one prepares, especially ah newbie, the day of the competition, espcially in any team sport, when yuh give yuh all - which he was satisfied he did, even if was not to his supporters standard - yuh still wish yuh had some more to give...Is Carlos fit enuff ? bet if/when he have to hold down ah Rooney, he would tell yuh he 'thought' he was ready...meanwhile Rooney only have to ketch him once, and the 10 other times Carlos break up the play, wouldn't mean ah thing...is Bolt fit ? if he have to run a 5k against Bekele, would he beat him ? what about Bekele running ah 100 ? isn't he fast ? but with the right training, the right preparation, and experience and knowledge of what is required and necessary to beat Bekele, Could Bolt do it, possibly...Williams et al, got some experience, thankfully in a winning vien, and now has a a better idea and motivaton of where he can try to be...yuh think he still won't get pass at some point...Every defender does...that is the basic nature of football
