Cuba
The Cuban squad had a solid performance but was not challenged by Trinidad & Tobago who now have a 0-2 win-loss record. Cuba was superior in serves by 12-1. Tomorrow’s stellar match features Cuba against USA for the top place in Pool C.
The stats of Cuba show Sulian Matienzo as the best scorer with 11 points.
Matienzo, the captain of Cuba expressed: “The team played united because this was a preparation match to face USA tomorrow to finish in first place”.
“Today we did a much bigger effort on our pass and we worked harder; as the tournament progresses we will do better,” Makil York of Trinidad & Tobago said.
Wilfredo Robinson, the Cuban Coach recognized today his team did have to do a big effort.
“For some of our young players this is their first international experience,” he said while also congratulating Trinidad & Tobago because every year they improve a little bit more.
“We’ve only been practicing intensely for a month and we know we must work in our serves to face USA.”
“Like I said before we set ourselves a target to reach 15 points and today we didn’t make it either, so even though the effort today was a lot better than yesterday, I think it’s because we have no experience which needs to be gained and maybe one day we can be as powerful as Cuba,” indicated Ali Macsood.
