Ruvalcaba told ‘ttproleague.com’, through an interpreter, “I like the style of Trinidad and Tobago’s football. The fact that they practice a vocation of offensive football, it was good for us. I am actually glad that we got a team who is confident enough to actually test my squad of players as we also prepare for the U-17 World Cup. Trinidad and Tobago have been great opponents in both practice matches.
The triumphant coach also explained, “Both matches against Trinidad and Tobago were very good ones, because these matches gave me the opportunity to observe my players under different conditions and to assess how well they would adapt to a different environment,” ended the Mexican national Under-17 Coach.
