Eve names final squad to contest CFU Final Round Olympic Qualifiers.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).


National Olympic team head coach Angus Eve has included four players with senior international experience in his final 20-man squad to contest the Caribbean Football Union final round of Olympic qualifiers in St Kitts/Nevis this coming week.

Following a training camp in Tobago over the past week, Eve announced his team which will be captained by defender Sheldon Bateau.

The four players who have already played for the T&T senior team include influential Orlando City midfielder Kevin Molino who is the team’s vice captain, W Connection defender Joevin Jones, striker Shahdon Winchester, midfielder Sean De Silva and Jamal Gay.

Other players who have been in the senior team training squad include Bateau, Micah Lewis, Mekeil Williams, Jerrel Britto and goalkeeper Glenroy Samuel who is attached to Antiguan club All Saints United.

Among other players included are Trevin Caesar, the Caledonia player who came off the bench to score the equalizing goal in the 1-1 draw with Ecuador at the recent Pan American Games in Guadalajara, hardworking midfielder Jayson Joseph, goalkeeper Andre Marchan, St Ann’s Rangers defender Kareem Moses, Leslie Russell and FC Santa Rosa’s Jean Luc Rochford, another one of the surviving members of the 2009 FIFA Under 20 World Cup squad.

The other members who have youth World Cup experience include Samuel, Williams, Bateau, Molino, De Silva, Marchan and Lewis.

Eve spoke on the composition of his squad, describing it as a well rounded unit.

“It’s a combination of some of the Under 20 players who didn’t qualify for the Pan American Games as well as some of the senior guys who have come through the ranks,” Eve told TTFF Media.

“We also have guys like Russell, Nuru Muhammad and Kareem Moses who have done well in the Pro League but haven’t had much experience on the international level. This gives us a well balanced team that is hungry for success and will go into this tournament eager to continue their promising run from the Pan American Games.”

The team also has Peak Performance coach Trevor James on its staff. James is a former Olympic 200 metres runner and a bronze medalist at the 1971 Pan American Games as well as a two- time All American Track & Field athlete at the University of Tennessee. He also possesses a degree in Family Economics and holds certificates in Advance Studies in Self-Image Psychology and Sports Psychology.

“This is all part of the preparation with the additional pressure on the team now. He was with the team for the first tournament we participated in and we’ve retained him for this tournament,” Eve added.

The team departs for St Kitts on Tuesday and will go into action on Thursday versus Cuba before facing the hosts on Saturday and Suriname two days later. The top two teams will advance to the final CONCACAF qualifying round in the United States in March, 2012 towards the London Olympics.

ah hoping dem clueless fools in d TTFF realize that this should be d foundation from which to build d new senior team...........sounding premature eh but yuh seeing some semblance of character and "sticktoitiveness" from dese fellas right through d age groups, and it would make sense to carry dat culture across to d seniors, even if it means retiring some ah d seniors we have now dat might still be be capable in 2018. our senior structure have lacked any kinda fightin spirit since 2006
I pity the fool....

Molino, Gay in 'Olympic' squad
Story Created: Nov 20, 2011 at 10:49 PM ECT

The Trinidad and Tobago under-23 football team head coach, Angus Eve has included four players with senior international experience in his final 20-man squad to contest the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) final round of Olympic qualifiers, in St Kitts/Nevis this coming week.
 
Following a training camp in Tobago over the past week, Eve announced his team which will be captained by defender Sheldon Bateau. The four players who have already played for the T&T senior team are influential Orlando City midfielder Kevin Molino who is the team's vice captain, W Connection defender Joevin Jones, striker Shahdon Winchester, and Jamal Gay.
 
"It's a combination of some of the Under-20 players who didn't qualify for the Pan American Games," Eve told TTFF media officer Shaun Fuentes, "as well as some of the senior guys who have come through the ranks. We also have guys like (Leslie) Russell, Nuru Muhammad and Kareem Moses who have done well in the Pro League but haven't had much experience on the international level. This gives us a well balanced team that is hungry for success and will go into this tournament eager to continue their promising run from the Pan American Games."
 
The T&T footballers leave for St Kitts tomorrow, and will go into action on Thursday against Cuba before facing the hosts on Saturday and Suriname two days later. The top two teams will advance to the final CONCACAF qualifying round, in the United States in March. The top two CONCACAF teams will qualify for the 2012 Olympic football tournament.
 
T&T got a good final warm-up ahead of the CFU qualifying tournament when they held a locally—based senior men's team to a goalless draw in Tobago on Friday. The senior squad had nine members of the team that played in World Cup qualifying, including goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, Hayden Tinto, Keon Daniel, Kendall Jagdeosingh, Osei Telesford and Devorn Jorslyn.
 
Last Wednesday, the Olympic team beat Super League runners-up Stokely Vale 5-1 in another warm-up, and also held eventual champions Mexico, third-placed finishers Uruguay and Ecuador to 1-1 draws at the Pan American Games in Mexico last month. Mexico beat Argentina 1-0 in the final.

T&T Squad Sheldon Bateau (captain), Leslie Russell, Jamal Gay, Trevin Caesar, Aquil Selby, Micah Lewis, Nuru Abdullah Muhammad, Kareem Moses, Joevin Jones, Mekeil Williams, Shahdon Winchester, Andre Marchan, Jomal Williams, Jerrel Britto, Jayson Joseph, Jeromie Williams, Jean Luc Rochford, Glenroy Samuel, Sean De Silva, Kevin Molino

I’ve seen both players play numerous times and I think Adams is the better player at LB. He’s slower but better. Jevon Jones as someone said above also plays LW so he should also be in the squad but I like Adams more at LB. Just so we are clear, I think J Jones is a very good baller and deserves to not only be on this team but he should be starting line up because he’s one of our best young players but I still like Adams more at LB more.
