 All right, so we're starting this Monday edition of the Sports Max Zone. We're going to be talking football and the Jamaica Premier League type. So the Jamaica Premier League is at its halfway point. Still teams of that competed in the Congo-Katharebian Cup are playing catch-up, with Cavalier and Harbourview playing the first of their two reschedule games on Sunday. Harbourview left it late to defeat Treasure Beach 2-0 through stoppage time goals from just Sean Anglin and Shaquille Bradford. Meanwhile, the featured game on Sports Max saw Cavalier dismantle 10-man Anet Gardens 3-0, with Kyle Ming air returning Dwayne Atkinson and Shaniel Thomas getting the goals. Anet Gardens head coach Xavier Gilbert said a lack of wit contributed to his team's loss. Cavalier's technical director Rudolf Speed loaded his team's unpredictability. All right, it's a pleasure Leje to have you in studio with us, our football analyst. We're going to start now by talking about that loss for Anet Gardens, because did you see that one come in and by that margin of goals? Well, I mean, I haven't been here for quite some time, but let's forget I'm still a prediction guru and I had to make the prediction without people hearing, but I did see that last come in. I think Cavalier have been really impressive. I think this season, especially the last couple of weeks, their defense has really started to improve. You know, a lot of clean sheets on the bounce now and Anet Gardens, I don't think that they've quite found their feet as yet on a new management. They lost a lot of players, so the refresh rate in the squad is quite high. They've gained, yes, Fabian Rideau has come back into the team and for the past two games has performed admirably, but I still think with a very young midfield, Jayim Tamas, I know a lot of the, it's practically a completely new midfield than what they started last season with. I still think that there are some growing pains for them to work out, especially with how Xavier Gilbert coaches, you know, he wants his, a lot of associative play, he wants his players to, you know, really be around each other and really figure things out on the field. And when you come against a team that's really well-drilled, like Cavalier, where they were always going to struggle and that's exactly what happened yesterday. Leger, you know, I'm always rooting for you and always on your team, but here's a bit of advice, right? Whenever you're doing predictions and getting them right, you have to do them on the show. You can't, you said you were not on the show and you made that prediction and it was right and nobody heard you. And that's unfortunate because when you do make them, they're wrong on air. You know, I think maybe Ricardo realized that I was going to go through a purple patch of predictions, so he scheduled me to be off for a couple weeks, but you know, I'm back now and I won't let that happen again. All right, good on you. Do you think Anato, they've been feeling the effects of losing Kimani Osburn? I saw that as a headline in one of the Jamaican newspaper. Yeah, that's a possibility as well as I mentioned that they don't have a lot of continuity from last season. I mean, someone who was there, he didn't start week in, week out, but I do think that he's a talented player. He started this season really full of confidence and he could have added something, especially down the flanks where they started Warner Brown, who is usually an out-and-out striker to really partner Fabian Reed and you saw as Ava Gilbert speak about their lack of width. I think that came especially down the right hand side because they didn't have that out-and-out winger, but they did have wingers on the bench, so I'm assuming that was on purpose. Maybe the width was supposed to come from the wing back, but, you know, you was pinned back by Dwayne Atkins on the left hand side for Cavalier. So a lot of tactical tweaks didn't go the way that Aine Garnes would have wanted it to go and Cavalier. On the other hand, I think they were really good. Yeah, two quick questions here for you, Lige, because we know that Rudolf Speed is a student of the game and he studies and strategizes expertly when he comes up against his opponents. Dwayne Atkins is back for him. So it boosts his attacking options, but his leading scorer, the Antigone, Jalmaro Calvin, scored in three consecutive games and was benched for yesterday's match and it is to Cavalier's credit and Speed's credit that he was able to get such an emphatic win with his team roster that he put out, taking his main goal score up to this point of the starting roster. Yeah, that's very true. But if you listen to Rudolf Speed at any point in time throughout these past years when he's been in the league, he's always made mention that he thinks that his system is over any player. So if he were to swap and change, and he's proven to be right, to be honest, because since Cavalier have been in the league since 2017, 2018, they have been in the semifinal every single year. That's really astonishing consistency. And we see the amount of turnover they have. They've done it with a really young team. So every year there's always new players really stepping up. They've lost Colin Anderson this season. We see Jalmara Calvin stepping up and scoring goals. And they have other players coming in now. And then I mentioned last season when they were going into the running, how them losing doing Atkinson would have impacted them negatively. They went really far. They still went to the final of both the Ling Cup and the Jamaica Premier League. But at the same time, I said when you come against the very best of teams, like Monplier that were last season, there's something that doing Atkinson brings to this Cavalier team and to the Jamaica Premier League that they can't just replace with one player. And he showed that again, getting a goal and an assist against Inet Guards. And I think he was really good in his performances. He still looks really bright. And he has the finishing, he has the movement, he has the pace, he has the creativity. And I think on his day, when he's playing consistently, there is no doubt that he's one of the best players in this league. Yeah. And I want to emphasize the point that for a few seasons now, we've said in our coverage of a Premier League football that Dwayne Atkinson has the potential to be an international quality player. He was briefly on loan in Iceland, didn't work out that well for him, so he's now back here. How much quality would you say Dwayne Atkinson has? I think he has really an immeasurable type of quality because there are certain things that you have to be on the lookout for. You know, we saw him in his youth days at Kingston College, he was a very good player, playing alongside Trevor and Reid, you know, other quality players. But when you have to think about when you see a player at a young age, if they can translate what they're doing then into the senior game. Yes, you have players that are faster than players when you're playing under his football, but then when you get to, are you still going to be faster than these grown men? He does have that. Can he still take on grown men that will? He does have that. Can he still, his ball striking, is he still going to be able to replicate that? He can do that. And that leads him to be also a goal threat and also really important for Cavalier creativity wise. So I think that he can go at a very far level. If he continues to keep this consistency, it's just whether or not he's going to get those opportunities because he's still very young as well. Yeah, let's quickly move to Harbaugh View because I'm not sure what's going wrong with Ludlow Bernard's side. Only their second win yesterday for the season. And at 90 minutes, it was nilol against Treasure Beach. They got two stoppage time goals to get the win. Happy for them that they got the win, but real problems for Ludlow Bernard and his Harbaugh View side. Yeah, and I think in my lifetime, I can't quite say it's been a short lifetime so far because I've gotten up there in age now. But in my lifetime, this is the first time I've seen a lot of the Bernard team struggle this much. They've had a lot of turnovers as well. But I think with their turnover, they've replaced the quality with good players. We see them there in 11th place. The last suffering since, we're not seeing them in rows for them anymore. But they replaced him with Ajuma Johnson, one of the best number 10s on the island. And then they needed a striker. They ended up getting Shaquille Bradford, who has been playing really well, I think six or seven league goals now. So it's not that they're not replacing their quality with more quality, or at least an equal level of quality. But it's just not gelling for them. I don't see it, especially in the midfield. They have Joshan Ogden and Kasim Prisley. That's as formidable a midfield pair as we're likely to see in this league. But it's just not clicking for them offensively, defensively in the middle third. It's not as smooth. But if there is any coach in Jamaica who has experience and the quality to really get this team clicking, especially towards the end of the season, we know it's Lola Bernard. But with the quality of teams ahead of him, I'm not quite sure if that experience and quality he has as a coach is going to get them into this top six this time. Yeah, I'm not quite sure myself. But by the way, DJ, welcome back to work. And I hope you enjoyed your vacation, your time off that you requested some time ago. It's a pleasure to have you back, by the way, still. It's a pleasure to be here with you as well, Ricardo. Making up predictions and when he does say them for the public, they are wrong, right? And that's a mariah. Yeah, let's take a break for that because after that from Ricardo, that come back, we need to take a water break. We'll be back.
