Jamaica U-20 Reggae Boyz coach Marcel Gayle expects a rapid bounce back from the team on the back of a 5-0 hammering at the hands of hosts Honduras in the Concacaf Men’s Under-20 Championship on Monday.
The highly one-side affair left the Jamaicans third in group H, with one game remaining against Antigua and Barbuda. With three teams advancing from the four-team group, however, the team remains in contention to secure a place in the next round if they can secure a point against Antigua.
“We know what is expected of us, so we just want to go out there and express ourselves again. We realise it’s a must-win situation and we are looking to go out there all guns blazing to represent the nation,” Gayle said of the upcoming fixture on Wednesday.
“Everyone is disappointed, the boys are disappointed but they are young so they will get over it…we’ll come again. We’ll take heart from the game. We’re still in it, so I just have to encourage the guys to come again, so, you can look forward to greater things.”
With the win Honduras moved to the top of the group with 6 points, followed by Costa Rica on 4 and Jamaica on 1. Antigua and Barbuda are yet to secure a win.
