Young T&T forward Kadeem Corbin has a strong likelihood of making his senior international competitive debut at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which began on Tuesday night.
Corbin, who is 19, says he intends to keep grounded throughout this busy period and perhaps for the rest of his career.
“It’s good to be in the national team at my age. It’s a dream really I got into the team for my first game against Curacao and it was a good experience. Now being at the Gold Cup is the biggest stage for me so far,” he said.
“But I plan to keep working hard and keeping focused. A lot of things can happen when you are a footballer making progress. God is very important to me. God relaxes me. My family members have been my biggest supporters and I want to make them proud. But doing anything that can help my country will be a blessing for me,” said the T&T Under-20 forward who scored a hat-trick to lead T&T to victory in the final of the Caribbean U-20 Men’s Championship in 2014 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
“My favourite player is Mario Balotelli and my favourite team is Barcelona. I try to take pattern from them. I don’t know what the future will bring but I know I want to play at a high level and maybe in two years I can be playing in Europe.”
