Charles-Fevrier bemoans lack of quality midfielders

Trinidad and Tobago football team coach Stuart Charles-Fevrier has bemoaned the lack of quality midfielders, especially the TT Pro League. Charles-Fevrier made that point during a post-match interview, after Trinidad and Tobago footballers held Venezuela to a 2-2 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, on Thursday. “When we came back from southern Africa (where the team engaged in a three-week tour), I mentioned that our midfield is definitely our key area of weakness,” he said. “We had two youngsters in our midfield, (national Under-23 players) Silvio (Spann) and Kerry (Baptiste) and one experienced player Dale Saunders. It is a position of concern,” he conceeded. The St Lucian-born tactician stated that the technical staff, including assistants Jamaal Shabazz, Ross Russell and Brian Williams, “are still looking to see who else we can get to fit into this role but we have to work with what we have.” “What I’m hoping for is an improvement in the Professional League which could assist those players,” he noted. “We have no choice. We have to work with these players and try to improve them and hopefully they can get to the level we want.” Charles-Fevrier was modest about his team’s overall display on the night.  “For me personally, I think it was a fair match. I still feel we need to work on getting a better share of possession, but generally speaking, I was pleased with the performance of the team,” he said.
