Winfried Schaefer, head coach of Jamaica’s national senior football team, has declared that his group of footballers is hoping to replicate the inspired feats of the Usain Bolt-led Jamaican Olympians when the Reggae Boyz face Panama away in a most crucial CONCACAF World Cup qualifier next week Friday.
In a statement released to the Jamaica Observer yesterday, Schaefer acknowledged that star atheltes such as Elaine Thompson, Omar McLeod, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, and Bolt, backed by the support staff, inspired and impressed the nation with their glittering performances at the recently concluded Rio Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Jamaica copped 11 medals, including six gold, three silver and two bronze.
The Reggae Boyz, as a group, Schaefer believes, possesses the same values as Jamaica’s world-beating Olympians, and would be looking to make citizens just as proud by achieving positive results in the two remaining World Cup qualifying games against Panama inside Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City at 8:30 pm on September 2, and here at the National Stadium against Haiti four days later, also at 8:30 pm.
