Statements by the Trinidad and Tobago midfielder, on the occasion of his call-up to the national team of his country, granted by Levi Garcia.

The AEK forward spoke to “Newsday” and spoke both about how he considers it very important to compete in European football, and about the hard work he does on the pitch, resulting in him being the top player in his country (as characterized by the journalist ).

His statements in detail:

On his return to European competitions: “Being competitive in Europe is always difficult, but I am grateful and blessed for the opportunity to compete among the best players and the best teams. It’s a great feeling to play in European football.”

For the atmosphere in the European evenings: “The game itself creates that energy and motivation to play, concentration comes naturally. It’s a feeling you can’t explain, it’s something you have to experience or experience by watching someone else struggle. But they are honestly great experiences and the best dream or wish of every gamer to experience in his life. I am grateful to live in such moments.”

For his injury: “It’s only when you’re injured and you can’t play that you really understand how important it is and appreciate it when you’re healthy. This is what motivates me to come back. Knowing that my family is always there, my children, motivates me to keep going, knowing that I have so many mouths to feed and people to take care of.”

For the preparation before the European games: “Preparation includes lighter training because the schedule is full of league games three or four days before. So training is about working on tactics.”

On being Trinidad and Tobago’s most iconic player: “To be honest, it’s a great feeling. It wasn’t my intention but I guess through hard work you can always find your way and I worked hard and I continue to do so. It’s the start of great things to come, so it’s a blessing and he’s grateful for the situation right now.”
