The clock is ticking down to Friday's all-important world cup qualifier, against El Salvador for the T&T senior women warriors.

The ladies have been working hard in training, at the Hasely Crawford practice ground.

T&T will face the Central Americans from 6pm and have no other option than winning to secure top spot in Group F,

with only the group winners advancing to the Concacaf Women's Championship final round.

And after hearing from the most senior player in skipper Kennya Cordner, T&T's youngest player Nikita Gosine expressed her love for the game.

00:00I love the game as a team collectively because I started off being trapped and it was more individual sports
00:07and I feel like coming as a team together, it showed me where people could come together as a team
00:14and do things and take responsibility for stuff and things and I just really liked that.
00:18At the tender age of 16, Nikita Gosain is considered a prodigy, but football wasn't her first sport.
00:49The Pleasantville secondary striker's goal-scoring exploits saw her earn her first senior call-up at just 15 years of
00:56age and while most teenagers are preoccupied with school, friends and social media, Gosain is occupied navigating a senior career.
01:05I was a bit nervous because it's coming to play with people who are more experienced than me, but it's
01:11people I know and I play with in Wolfe already, so it's like when I come, they welcome me as
01:18the youngest on the team, I played, I got selected and I just continue pushing from it.
01:24At first I started learning a lot because I didn't know it comes with so much responsibility playing for the
01:29national team, but as I gradually grow, I express myself on the field, they just told me to be happy
01:37and enjoy the game and that's what I do and that's how I play so well on the field.
01:42And come Friday, Gosain is hopeful for the victory and making a family proud.
01:46I just want to tell you that we work really hard for the upcoming games and I really hope that
01:53we come on to the victory and no matter what, I hope that you'll continue to support us, show everything
01:57that you do and this game, I will play this game for my mother and my sister.
02:03My sister was in the last, last game she was there, she didn't get selected for this game, but I
02:11hope that she continue working hard to push for her dreams and I also play this game for my mother
02:17because I always do everything for her.
