01:10another player who's opted out from playing in these two games losing Rio Cardians and Kobe Henry along
01:15with the others is a serious dent to the plans of head coach Derek King and it follows a similar
01:20start
01:20to the recent Nations League campaign however coach King says it presents an opportunity for others
01:26you know I saw the some of the local base players really step up to the plate is important for
01:32them
01:32this is a good very good opportunity for them to stand there the authority what what we saw as well
01:39is is that the local base player players now is much fitter and stuff we work for the last two
01:46weeks and I
01:47think what we saw so far is is a really good sign good local base good energy good vibes and
01:54they all know
01:54the importance because I think this is a very good opportunity for the local base players despite
01:59the missing players TNT will still start as favorites as King give his assessment of the opponent Antigua
02:05have a very good team they are home they are willing to come out you know and please their fans

02:11couple of one or two other players played in the USL a team that will be you know come out
02:16and give
02:17their all at home so it's important for us to be disciplined I think we have to build on our
02:22last game I
02:24think good ball position what we need to to do as well as the power of our chances and the
02:30head coach
02:30presented the keys to success come tomorrow I think what what we expected is first have a good majority
02:39of the ball possession I think tomorrow is important for us to you know for our chances is a cricket
02:46pitch
02:46we have played there in in Jamaica as well but it is a good um you know the environment is
02:53good is it
02:54the environment as well I think the guys is together as one they they know the the urgency with these

03:18with injury and now he's ready to make his mark yeah it feels good I'm happy to be here happy
03:24to be back

03:31got the
03:31injury that I was off for four to six weeks you know but now I'm better I feel better stronger
03:37so
03:37I'm just happy to be happy to represent the injury also impacted his club season with MLS next pro club
03:42North Texas where he scored eight goals from 21 starts and without him North Texas missed at the
03:48playoffs but it wasn't a field campaign as he acquired other valuable lessons I had a lot of
03:54different roles this season left wing back left wing right wing striker you know so it it taught me to
04:01adapt you know it taught me a lot about um more retention as well you know and I'm taking my
04:07opportunities you know it was it was definitely a good season I learned a lot from a coach coach girl
04:12um and yeah so it was a really good season for me in it in the sense of what I
04:17learned and what I
04:17gained from it my adaptation so yeah it was good and Natty will be looking to use those new traits
04:23to improve on his six international goals as he believes they have more than enough to overcome
04:28Antigua really really important you know Antigua team they're definitely gonna feel like they have
04:36the chance to win against us they're home they're going to run they're going to work and we just have
04:41to be ready on the day whoever wants that money it is the team is going to come out on

04:46have all the necessary tools to to win the game um and I think we can definitely win the two
04:53games

05:06Gilbert who missed out on most of the world cup qualifiers and the 21 year old midfielder who
05:12supplies his trade in the Czech Republic believes familiarity and chemistry can make the difference
05:19I think we missed another senior guys as you say Levi etc um but I think like now we have
05:26a lot of
05:27under 20 guys that I was a part of this squad with them and we also have a great bond
05:31and great chemistry
05:32together like me Malik, Nati, Kaim, Real, Shaheem, Wickham and Joseph, Luke, everybody we kind of know each other and
05:43I feel like people never really get to see this young group all together and including others that coming like
05:50Wayne, Payne, you know other guys who just join and make the squad much better and much stronger and I
05:56think we actually have a
05:59we have we have a very very good team and talented bunch we just need the keep playing together keep
06:05believing in each other and I think we'll be good
06:08under the former Jablote and PSV under 21 talent is relishing the chance to shine on the head coach Derek
06:15King once more
06:18one of my best performances was under Derek King when he played Cuba at home
06:21um and I also agree I have I have a lot that national colours didn't see yet and I think
06:29going forward they will get to see more of it because I think under Derek King I have he give
06:33me more freedom and a more rule to be expressive and yeah
