I learned from their coach that the team have been together for two years as well."Johnny who last held the head coach post for the junior team back in 2012 said the players were short of fitness."We only had one week to prepare the team, and in terms of fitness, the players are definitely not to the level yet. No issue on team play because most of them used to play together in the Under-21 and Under-19 squad, and may be only a few new ones need to adapt to the team. I believe the team will be fine if all the players are fit." He also said there are 29 players in the squad at the moment but not all can make the final list for the new season.
