Trinidad-based Coaching Schooler Keon Daniel (on loan to United Petrotrin) commented recently on his free-kick ability. Daniel, a former Signal Hill Senior Comprehensive player was reflecting on his performance in the 1-0 win over the Cuscatlecos.
“It’s a trademark thing. Since I was about ten I’ve always tried the free kicks so it comes like a penalty to me now… like a free hit from anywhere around the box. It’s an important part of modern football now. I try to keep working on them all the time,” the 21-year-old Daniel said.
“Over the months I have worked really hard with Petrotrin and trainer Wayne Lawson and as a young player it is paying off. This is a very important year for me. It’s a World Cup campaign year.” he added.
“It’s good to know that Dwight Yorke is the biggest player to come from the island and to wear the number 19 is a big weight to carry but it feels good and hopefully I can deliver.”
Daniel credited former national coach Bertille St Clair for taking an interest in him at a young age. He also felt his training stint at Manchester United in 2005 helped in his development.
“I think he (St Clair) saw potential in me as a youngster. He constantly kept pushing me and I am glad for that. The trip to Manchester was really an eye opener for me. That was a chance to break out… to see the world of football and to see the commitment players have for the game.”
