Boyz to Ride on Babsy’s Bus

Sports Minister Olivia “Babsy” Grange” has the Reggae Boyz, Jamaica’s NATIONAL football team aka the reggae boyz or simply the Boyz for short in the range of her thinking. Grange committed to speak for them so they can score the goal by
getting a bus to hit the road to
Russia.

Grange was speaking at an acceptance ceremony where US3 million dollars was committed by Digicel to sponsor the Boyz’s campaign to qualify for the World Cup for 4 years.

The Boyz will have to go about their campaign with greater fixing of purpose if they wish to go forward. For example, they need to be more clinical in their finish, especially in front of the goal. Once you get the ball in the box then there has to be a different mindset … forwards must be in strategic positions to latch on to passes, loose balls, and be able to convert lobbed balls to headers and one touch goal scoring opportunities.

Be ready to outfox the defense.

Teams who reportedly win matches score from the acutest of angles. Every team needs specialists goal scoring technicians who are so goal hungry that when they get near to the gaol their chances of scoring are greatly enhanced.

Conceding Goals

The need for a sound defensive posture is vital for the success of any team. The less goals you concede the greater are your chances of getting ahead. Try not to be overly aggressive as this could lead to fouls and possible penalties. Your ability, to cut off crosses and mark forwards, cannot be overdressed. Just be alert and anticipate plays in advance of their execution.

Anticipate counter attacks and thereby reduce the chances of being caught off guard.

Minister Grange is dedicated and is success oriented, so she will get the bus for the Reggae Boyz.

Vision wishes the Reggae Boyz all the success in their campaign to qualify for the world cup.
