What They're Saying
Canada head coach Benito Floro (via Sport Live): "We have two priorities for this camp. The first is to work hard on tactical concepts like pressing, combined attacks, defense, and our offensive and defensive set pieces. At the same time, we need the psychological attitudes to get results. We need to have a good mentality. Every day we are together is very important to us because it is the best way we have to practice our game situations. Speaking about this camp, this is very important because it is the last one before official games, so we need to use it to practice several things."
Guatemala striker Edi Danilo Guerra (via Guatefutbol): "I'm happy for the call-up. It's motivating because it signifies that I'm doing things well. It's motivating that the head coach [Ivan Franco Sopegno] continues to have confidence in me."
