Marcio Maximo, Head-coach of the Golden Jaguars senior men’s team, said yesterday that the hope is to commence national team preparation within the next 14 days for the important FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, penciled in for March 2021.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport yesterday. According to Maximo, “The situation is not ideal, we are waiting for results of the examination before training as we have to follow the protocols. We would start in small groups. We have already planned myself and assistant [Wilson] Tolido. I hope in two weeks that we can get to start training in small groups because we can’t do much contact. Hopefully everything normalizes soon so we can start training.”
Marcio disclosed that a period of two months while not perfect, can provide a sufficient preparation window for the team heading into the important tournaments, adding that the programme is eyeing the possibility of contesting an international fixture in February 2021 before their first World Cup Qualifier in March.
