As the FIFA World Cup qualifiers draw near, Fiji Bula Boys’ head coach, Rob Sherman, expressed concerns regarding the uncertainties posed by recent coaching changes among their group opponents. With Josh Smith and Felipe Vega-Arango taking on new coaching roles, Sherman noted that this could alter their teams’ playing styles unpredictably.
“There’s an element of the unknown because Josh and Felipe are new in their roles. How they’ve played in the past might not reflect how they’ll approach the upcoming matches. We’ve done our analysis, but there’s always some uncertainty when new coaches come into play,” Sherman explained.
Fiji hopes to leverage the enthusiasm of their home crowd to gain a competitive edge and strive for a significant result in the next round of the World Cup qualifiers.
