Whitecaps preparing for the unknown in CONCACAF Champions League game
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps are heading into the unknown as they prepare to face Central FC on Tuesday night in a CONCACAF Champions League match being played in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Whitecaps know little about the type of game Central FC likes to play or the conditions of the pitch.
“We are going into the unknown a little bit,” said Whitecaps’ head coach Carl Robinson. “It will be a good experience for a lot of my players.”
The Whitecaps are coming off a 2-0 loss on Sunday to FC Dallas in a Major League Soccer match played in blistering 40-degree heat in Frisco, Texas. Robinson will take 18 players for the game being played in Couva, a city in west-central Trinidad with a population of around 21,000.
