Panama City, March 17 (EFE) — Spanish-Danish soccer team Thomas Christiansen, coach of Panama's national soccer team, summoned 26 players Thursday to the final date of the Conacaf octagonal final in preparation for the triple date in March and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Among them, goalkeeper Eric Hughes, defender José Cordova, the novelties of midfielder Viktor Medina, the return of striker Cecilio Waterman and the absence of striker José Fajardo, who is one of the coach's regulars throughout the qualifying round. “The players I choose are the right players to face these three games,” the strategist said at a press conference. He added that “the players know what they have to do” against Honduras, which is “our first final”. On March 24, he added that good results will lead the group to be in a good mood for other conflicts. He stressed that the duel against Honduras is a “trap match” and that we must not lose sight of the goal of “winning and doing well”. “I don't know the Honduran list, but I don't know if it's better for regulars or young players who want to show off and follow their future plans well,” he said. As for the lack of goals for the team, the coach thought about when the attackers who sang live hoped to create a target situation. “The problem is not to create a target situation. We have four great attackers. I want them to be right to create situations and goals.” The Panamanians will welcome Honduras (March 24) and Canada (March 30) to their home, and as visitors to the United States (March 27), they will compete in all the major duels in the qualifiers for the second FIFA World Cup. Canada is the equality leader with 25 points, followed by the United States and Mexico, respectively, 21 points, 4th place and 17 overall are the Panama national team. Costa Rica are in fifth place, one point behind the Panamanian, while El Salvador (9 points) and Jamaica (7 points) occupy 6th and 7th places respectively, completing the table with only 3 points on the table.
