Mexican coach Sven-Goran
Ericksson might be a little preoccupied with the change of
schedule, but is preparing to beat Jamaica at all cost when the
two teams meet in a CONCACAF World Cup qualifier this Saturday in
the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City.
“I am a bit worried about them,”
Ericksson lamented. “They are strong, tall, robust and powerful. I
believe they proved themselves in the draw against Canada. I
respect them a lot.”
“I don’t know how prepared they
are,” said Ericksson. “But whatever shape the turn up in, we have
to win.”
The change of schedule puts his
team in a precarious position in that they have to play their last
three games away.
“This puts us in a dangerous
position,” said Ericksson. “But it is necessary. It will be
strange playing this way, but it was necessary.”
Ericksson then sympathised with
Jamaica for the bad weather being experienced but said, “It is
nobody’s fault. Come what may – we have to win!”
He then mentioned that the Reggae
Boyz might be suffering from the rainy conditions and therefore he
is unsure of the condition of the team. It was even mentioned that
the European-based players may not be able to report to camp.
When asked if the occasion is
therefore ripe for a blowout he replied, “I hope so. But it will
be very difficult. Mexico is always favourite. But a blowout is
not so easy. They must be doing something to try to win here.”
