02-May-2005 - According to Jabloteh head coach: For me, Daniel is the best wide
defender in Trinidad and Tobago. I cannot believe he is not in the national
squad. I know there is an issue as to why he is not on the national team but I
think as a full-back, he is the best I have seen in a Trinidad and Tobago team.
He is a great athlete with a terrific appetite for work. He has good technique,
can run the length of the field for 90 minutes and maintain a high quality of
technical performance, and that is very rare. The only people I have seen like
that to be fair, are a couple of the Germans when they played with wing-backs
and they are people like Manikam Kelps and Hans Peter Briegel who were just
physically awesome specimens. He is not the biggest in the world but as an
athletic specimen, I think he is phenomenal.
