Coach King is sounding confident ahead of the match, saying T&T are prepared for whatever comes their way, including the weather.
Transcript
00:00The weather was a talking point as TNT's final training session was called off last
00:21evening at the training venue.
00:24But despite the inclement weather, caretaker coach Derek King isn't letting it become
00:28a factor.
00:29The Hondurans will start as favourite especially at home having won four of the last five matches
00:52against the Soka Warriors.
00:54Coach King acknowledged the home field strength of the Central Americans but believes TNT are
00:59ready.
01:00Coming up against a very good Hondurans team, Hondurans at home is always a tough call but
01:06I think we are ready for the challenge ahead.
01:10Well, Hondurans is always a team like to play the football as well, they have some quality
01:17players in good leagues but I think we did our homework and we'll come out and play to
01:27the best of our abilities and I think the team will do well.
01:30I'm confident that we will do well against this Hondurans team at home.
01:34And with a massive home support expected, the caretaker boss isn't phased.
01:38Our players are custom playing among large crowds as well, we have some overseas based
01:44players and I think the guys back at the hotel and stuff and in training, I think the guys
01:50are really eager to come out and play against a large crowd, I think there's a motivation
01:55for them as well.
01:57As for TNT's approach, Coach King said the objective is to obtain a positive result but
02:01is confident the Soca Warriors can be victorious.
02:04I think it's important, you know, we can't set a goal to draw a game, you know, so it's
02:10important that, you know, the key for us is to get a positive result in this game because
02:16we have three more games left in our group and it's important that we get a good start.
02:20Trinidad versus Honduras is always a good game, I think it's a rivalry at the end of
02:25the day but I think, you know, it's very important, I think we'll see some good football
02:30from both teams and I know Trinidad and Tobago will be victorious.
02:37Our players are very confident, you know, in stepping up as well, they are willing to
02:45give it their best and I think the players in the camp, the vibes is good as well and
02:51tomorrow, peace God, you'll see a good game from Trinidad and Tobago.
