A PACY Golden Jaguars outfit will be what the Canadians have to put up with when they meet this evening at the National Stadium,at Providence, in a football International Friendly.Captain Colin Nelson, who spoke to the media yesterday, confirmed that his side will be looking to utilise their pace against the Canadian Olympic side.

“We are approaching the game with the same intensity as every other game and this game is to prepare for the next round of CFU matches, which is in two weeks and we are playing to come out with intense pace,” Captain Nelson said.
The defender continued, “Being the captain, I don’t see it as any extra work; I mean it’s a football team and a duty is expected of every player despite being captain or captain not, my duty is to lead and guide the players.”
Head coach Jamaal Shabazz, who congratulated the Canadians on qualifying for the Olympics, reminded that Guyana will be no push-over, saying, “You will indeed get a test today. You will get a huge test and you know we intend to put our best foot forward.”
Meanwhile, his opposite number Micheal Findley, said the match “Gives us a great opportunity to engage in competition, but most importantly, advance ourselves as a nation and also CONCACAF.”
The Canadian skipper, Maxime Crépeau, was more reserved in disclosing his game plan, saying, “We don’t know a lot on the team but we will watch the videos [we have] before today’s game and we have training on Saturday afternoon, so we are going to see how we can hurt them and make them pay for their mistakes.”
Quizzed on the conditions, the goalkeeper continued, “We’re all professionals and sometimes we have to adjust to so many things in our lives, so it’s good to play in the heat.
“Obviously, that’s why we’re drinking water, but maybe some guys will get cramps, but we just have to adapt as quick as we can for a good performance for tomorrow’s game,” the Montreal FC player added.
Today’s clash commences from 19:00hrs and will be preceded by a match between Milo champions Chase Academy and Digicel champions, Linden’s Christiansburg /Wismar Secondary School at 16:00hrs.
