[Football- International Friendlies] 23.3/ 18:00 Gibraltar- Granada
Generally speaking, I really don't like playing friendly matches. However, you never know how the coaches will approach them. However, in this case we are dealing with a meeting of two very low-ranked teams in world rankings. Mega I do not like to use the FIFA ranking, because for me it is not particularly valuable or reliable, but Grenada is 169 in it, and Gibraltar is 203. I am giving it only so that you will know plus or minus what the situation looks like.
So you can see in theory that Granada should be a better team. The case, however, is that the guests play for one of the weakest federations (if not the weakest) - CONCACAF. I could compare it plus and minus to Oceania, which I recently described. Most of the teams are just weak there. For this reason, Grenada will occasionally win a game when they hit some complete weaklings (for example, the US Virgin Islands in March). However, when they find someone "strong" (like Panama, El Salvador, Honduras), they collect barely with a few goals.
Gibraltar wins their games much less often, but UEFA is much stronger nevertheless and they just usually play against much more demanding rivals. In such meetings, this representation can learn a lot more.
A very big advantage is the fact that the game is played at Victoria Stadium - the national stadium of Gibraltar. All the players of this team play in the home league, and she ... plays all her games at the Victoria Stadium. For this reason, today's hosts will know every scrap of this pitch, which will be a big plus. Another is the fact that the players of the Gibraltar national team simply know each other from the club. The appointment is mainly given to players from St Joseph's, Lincoln Red Imps and Europa FC. They play with each other every day, so their chemistry and understanding translates into representations. Which pays off to a large extent, especially when compared to Granada, which plays very few national team games and the players simply do not know each other half as well as those from Gibraltar.
In addition, the guests had a very long journey, and it usually affects the weaker players much more than the fully professional ones. In addition, I can see that Saydrel Lewis, AJ Paterson and Omar Beckles were not called up for the tie, i.e. two basic players in the defense line and an important substitute for the offensive formation.
To sum up, for football, Granada is probably a slightly better team. If the match was played somewhere in a neutral area in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (so that both teams had the same route to cover), I probably wouldn't have played it. After all, at this point it seems to me that Gibraltar has the capacity to win something in this game. This team plays every game in which they have a chance for any good result (read: don't lose) they play 100% seriously. And I hope that it will also be like that today.
