00:00With the Nations League on his mind, the head coach of the national football team, Derrick King, will be going
00:05into the South Korea match on May 30th to test his forces.
00:09I think it's important as the head now to get the right formula, the right mix for our Nation League
00:18game that is coming up in September.
00:20I think these few games here is to take a look at some new players that could add to the
00:27pool, that we will have a good team come September to compete at the Nation League.
00:35He added it's not exactly their full-strength side as there are a few injured players.
00:40Well, I think we're facing a very experienced team, a team with quality players as well.
00:47You know, unfortunately, we picked a name of our squad three weeks ago, and we have a few players with
00:54injuries.
00:55So I think it's important that, you know, we don't really take a chance to further have the players who
01:04is injured take any risks.
01:07He indicated that Levi Garcia has family issues and will not be in the match.
01:11But players are under consideration outside of the FIFA date.
01:15Because of the 30th, a non-FIFA date, you know, we have a few players like Nathaniel James, Smith, Denzel
01:25Smith.
01:25We also have Rampasad Telfer, who is unavailable due to their club commitments and is outside of the FIFA date
01:32as well.
01:33Other players are hoping to grasp the opportunity.
01:36For me personally, I've been around with a lot of challenging international games.
01:42So it's not something new to me.
01:45I think it's games to challenge a bunch of guys to really go out and show that we can play
01:51against opponents outside of our region.
01:56King says he wants his team to play football that shows they know what they are doing defensively, and he's
02:02hoping they can apply pressure.
02:03Meantime, the team set to play Russia on June 9th is expected to be different.
02:08It will have about at least eight changes, you know, because it's a FIFA date.
02:13We have, I don't want to see some, a little minor issues with some of the U.S.-based players.
02:20And we will have, you know, the Rian Moore, the Justin Garcia, the Andrew Raymond, Telfer, and joining our team
02:31to travel to Russia.
02:33Sergio DeFore, TV6 Port.
