Thomas Christiansen, coach of the Panama national team, warned that matches against the United States and Canada teams should not be taken as friendlies and that, against these rivals, you must always go all out.
“The two games we have, against the United States and Canada, if we take them as friendlies, they will pass us by; friendly, nothing. We have to go with everything, to win, it is difficult, but not impossible and that is our goal,” said the strategist.
Panama will face the United States on October 12 in Texas and, three days later, it will face Canada in Toronto.
“I would like to demand that they arrive with the ball, that we arrive more, that we generate more, we lacked that a little. Defensive transitions that are also quick changes, because that is what makes the difference between a great team and another that is not so great,” Christiansen indicated.
The Spanish-Danish confirmed the injury of defenders José “Córdoba”, who is suffering from discomfort in one knee, and Eric Davis is in the same situation.
Christiansen reiterated the call for Carlos Harvey (Minnesota United FC/MLS) and Ricardo Phillips Jr. (Delfin/Ecuador), who will take the place of the injured.
The coach added that Ismael Díaz is another player who is not one hundred percent, which is why he was not taken into account for this date either.
