WITH LESS THAN A MONTH before the Barbados men’s senior football team face Aruba in their second round CONCACAF qualifier for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, head coach Marcos Falopa believes his team needs better preparation.

Speaking after Barbados 3-1 defeat to St Kitts & Nevis lastSunday at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex, Paradise Park, Falopa said, “We don’t have enough time to prepare this team; we need to be better prepared.”

 However, with five previous games, where they would have won two, drawn two and lost one, many would figure these matches would have served as adequate preparation for opponents Barbados defeated under a year ago.

Please read the full story in today’s Daily Nation, or in the eNATION edition.

MARCOS FALOPA: “We tried to use the counter attack, because they had more experienced players than us in the middle.” (FP)
