The British coach said that the Canadian team is ready to face any selection in this octagonal, as it has prepared with different teams along the way to this instance, starting with the first stage of the qualifiers in the March and culminating in the Gold Cup in July.
Herdman says that “playing all these games was important, as we tested many teams where the players understood their roles, we created formations, strategies, we did well in the collective, the nations we face before are different in the current ones, so we have a new mentality where we will not be afraid of Honduras in the next match or anyone in the qualifiers. They will be difficult matches, but we have talent, spirit and we are working on tactics. “

I don’t know, there are a lot of people in Canada who usually fly drones, I’m sure, and when a big team like Honduras arrives people are interested in what they’re doing when they come to the country. With drones people today they can capture panoramas so we have to be careful in CONCACAF, it’s a cunning place, ”he concluded.
