There is something evident with this team. And that is they are a TEAM! They play for each other and want to do well. Even if the performances are far from stellar, to me, IMHO, they leave it all on the field.
Cyrus is very popular and Bleeder and Jan always chatting with the players encouraging them etc.
Molino doh like to lose, or be on the bench, he go grouse, but once he hits the field is non stop fight and determination.
Guerra is a real motivated fella and he wants to score every time he touches the ball.
Defensively we are not bleeding goals or giving up early goals as we used to do.
Seon Power has improved leaps and bounds, I remember when he was a forum goat. Not freaking now! Heart, determination and fight!
This team may not have the talent of past teams, but they have an espirit de corp. dey feel they can compete with Spain if they come on the field, they want to do well, and they like each other.
TEAM Trinidad...when last we had that?
TT i agree with you, but i think what you are seeing is a direct result of the coaching staff.
you would be surprised to see that big players will get ah big name coach and still bum , then turn around and play well for an interim who have far less knowledge than the big coach, and why you think that iz?
IMO there are coaches and there are coaches who know how to get in players heads, i think charles is one of the talisman coaches who knows how to motivate players and get in their heads.
look @ latas for instance, latas had ah better team in the last gold cup with way weaker opponents, and failed to make it, that's bc he had favorites and it showed, i remember there was ah riff where latas and all the foreign based were in first class while the local boys was cramped up in coach, and this does not go hand in hand with team spirit!
i believe charles have the science of coaching down to ah tee, and this is IMO the main ingredient as far as coaching or even teaching goes.
coaching is not about some big name coach who knowledge is off the charts, but a coach who could make players feel like gold, and take them by the hand and teach them what they know, coaches who are interested in players lives, coaches who befriends them in ah big brother or uncle like way,
this is what brings cohesion to a team and makes the players form ah bond that would make them die for the cuase, this is what i believe happened with this team, and thank God glenn was booted from this team, good move baba.
