With the Golden Jaguars management team exploring the idea of contesting an international friendly before the March 21st start of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, former national stalwart Kayode McKinnon, says that a one off match is far from ideal as preparation for the competition.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport. According to the former Topp XX midfield dynamo, “I think everyone would agree one game is not enough based on many factors.
“We need to strongly consider the cognitive and physical demands placed on players to perform at a high level with consistency. The elite level in Concacaf are doing 6/8 months cycles to be ready and they are on our pathway to the World Ccup. So, it would really need players that play week in and week out at the highest level possible on the national team at best for this first round of matches.”
