Speaking with Head Coach Albert Titre, he said there are lots of positives that can be taken from the game.
“We all know that we are playing a 3’Oclock game at the stadium so we just use that opportunity this morning because we might meet that same weather. There were lots of positive, the ladies maintained their stamina in the sun and we saw them controlling and keeping possession which is one of the key things that we want against Turks.”
Titre also said the women were also positive in their communications with each other through open play.
He also admitted that there’s still more work to be done. “There’s a lot more to be done but as of now we are seeing them putting in the efforts and showing a lot of interest into the game,” Titre added.
Titre also says he has confidence that the team can come away with all three points against Turks & Caicos in Dominica.
“As previously stated, I always have confidence in the team. We saw what they did even against Trinidad. But going into the [Turks and Caicos] game we know we must have a lot of patience and possession and that’s what we have been working on for the past time.”
Dominica is currently in fourth place in group F with Turks and Caicos bottom. Both teams are yet to register a single point in the group stage.
