Guyana’s ‘Golden Jaguars’ four game Caribbean tour, which forms part of the training and developmental
plan ahead of stage-three of the CONCACAF FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 qualifying, has been bearing fruits despite the losses so far.
The Guyanese were scheduled to oppose Grenada last evening in the spice Isle in their final game before returning home tomorrow ahead of next week’s International friendly at the Providence Stadium against Guatemala.
Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz has said that thus far, the Technical Staff of the Golden Jaguars have chosen 5 local based players from their current developmental Caribbean Tour for the game against Guatemala next week.
The Jaguars lost 0-1 to St Vincent and the Grenadines but Shabazz was pleased with the team’s showing.
“We made a huge step towards securing Guyana’s football future”, stated Shabazz. “Our guys showed good organizational discipline and fighting spirit after going down to an early goal. We created our chances but did not take them and things are starting to take shape with these lads”.
Shabazz revealed that Konata Manning, Anthony Benfield and Kester Jacobs have all done well enough on the trip to make the 20-man squad for the Guatemala game.
Two other youngsters midfielder, Trayon Bobb and defender Colin Nelson has also gained the nod of approval from the Technical Staff.
As the local based Jaguars prepared for their final match of the trip Shabazz told them the game’s relation to team selection. “There are a couple boys who are borderline picks and this game against Grenada is their avenue to get into the team”, explained Shabazz.
