 National Team right back Kern Cupid admits that he had some flutters in him during the early moments of Trinidad and Tobago’s 3-0 loss to England on Sunday but is promising to repay the faith shown in him by Francisco Maturana with a comeback that can help this country in its World Cup qualifying endeavors.Cupid, of T&T Pro League club W Connection, came in for some words of concern from those who witnessed the encounter and was taken off at half time. “To be honest… just the experience of playing against England was a great feeling and these are feelings you need to have more often. It must not come as a first time feeling again. I think it augers well for players like myself in the future as we had a young team and we now have that experience with us,” Cupid told TTFF Media. “I personally was glad for it even though I did not put in the sort of performance I would have liked to on the day. For a game like that you’re obviously going to have butterflies in you and that was the case with me but as the game progressed I started to feel more comfortable but I lost concentration a couple of times. But there were also a few positives I could take from it and there are things I know I have to continue working on. Right now I’m just looking forward to the next opportunity I get to represent the country,” he added. Cupid maintains that T&T will continue to become a stronger unit but is anxious to play similar matches to the one versus the Three Lions. “My preparations for the World Cup qualifier started since the first game I wore the national colours (against El Salvador in 2007) and the important one for me is that game against Bermuda just because of the fact that we cannot risk elimination which means that we have to go all out and secure the wins. I’m just hoping to repay the team with a solid showing once I get the chance. The important thing is for the team to play as a unit and play the kind of football the coach wants us to. We are working hard to achieve this and I think it’s only a matter of time before we start doing this. We will really like to continue playing against top opposition and I’m confident we will get it right, Cupid concluded. (June 4,2008) |
