Former Coaching Schooler, and newly added Soca Warrior Keon Daniel, is seeing the chance to compete in the Gold Cup as a major stepping stone.
Trinidad and Tobago open their campaign in the four-nation Digicel Shield tomorrow against 2007 Caribbean Champions Haiti at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
Fresh in his mind is his experience at the “Theatre of Dreams” while training with Manchester United at Old Trafford two years ago.
And he relishes the opportunity to wear the Soca Warriors national shirt which he has been anxiously awaiting for so long.
“As a young player coming up I always wanted to make the team. I am so glad for this call up. I have been encouraged to work harder and that’s exactly what I’m doing. This is a different level,” Daniel said.
“The experience at Man U was great one because it took me out into the world of football. Bertille St Clair made the arrangements and I had two weeks working in the Academy and I was able experience the works.
“Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were at the club from that time as well. That exposure showed me how fast the game is and it taught me what is needed to really make it on the big stage.
“I think I have worked on my aggression since then and hopefully I can get a chance to show some of it on a stage with the national team,” added the former TT Under-20 and current Petrotrin player.
He will continue training with the team this weekend leading up to tomorrow’s match with the Haitians.

Striker Curtis Job scored a 52nd minute winner as Stokely Vale FC beat St Clair Coaching School (SCCS) 1-0 in the Charity Cup exhibition game, to mark the opening of the Tobago Football League 2007.
SCCS displayed good technical footwork in the center of the field during a competitive first half, knocking the ball around but lacked the finishing touch in their play much to the anticipation of the spectators at the Dwight Yorke Stadium. However, seven minutes into the second half a miscommunication between the last man and goalkeeper left Curtis Job totally unmarked with an empty goal to tuck away the lone item.
SCCS kicks off their first game in the Community Cup Home and Away Tournament (TFA 2007) on June 6, against Bethel United.

St Clair Coaching School (SCCS) defeated Phoenix 4-3 on penalties to secure the SCCS Invitational Cup, after an 80th minute equalizer by Trevin Caesar to lock the game at 1-1.
Phoenix striker Shelton Williams scored in the 57th with a deceptive play that sent both keeper and defender away from the open goal. However, it was Trevin Caesar’s 80th minute equalizer that brought the Dwight Yorke Stadium in an uproar. Deft dribbling skills and quick feet saw Wilson weaving himself through five of Phoenix’s defenders and launching a powerful right-footer pass the goalkeeper.
The event was hosted by SCSS with invitees from Charlotteville, La Brea and Phoenix FC on May 18–19, as a warm-up for the Tobago Football League 2007. Coaching School captain, Tyrone Walters, collected the winner’s trophy on behalf of the team
