Africa-Press – Angola. Elisandra Pedro, from the Casa do Pessoas do Porto do Lobito team, has been in Luanda since yesterday to join the Petro de Luanda squad in the dispute of the 43rd edition of the Champions Clubs’ Cup, to be held in Hammamet. and Nabeul, Tunisia from the current 30th to the 9th of October.
The player is one of the last reinforcements of Vivaldo Eduardo, oil coach, to try to balance the correlation of forces with the main rival 1º de Agosto. In a frantic search, as a “fine comb” of the national handball market, the oil coach also called Eugénia Domin-gos “Tuchinha”, who played for Desportivo Maculusso, to fill the weaknesses of the squad.
Tuchinha is a player with experience in CAHB competitions, because she has already played, with Progresso do Sambizanga, both in the Champions League and the Cup of Cups.
“I will do my best to stay in the team, and please the coaching staff in order to help the club achieve its objectives,” said the player.
Along the same path, Patrícia Neto, and another companion, Celma Mário, both ex-Progresso Sambizanga, were recruited. Before, goalkeeper Suely Simão and Vilma Cissola had already been announced, who was stopped for a while.
Edgar Neto, assistant to Vivaldo Eduardo, in recent statements, said that the new players are integrated into the group.
“They are having a good integration. They are young players, most of them had stints in the youth teams. We are enjoying the work they do, and we will see if they can progress”, assured the coach.
The team does not count on the services of the shooter Stélvia Pascoal who, after appearing at the service of the National Teams of seniors and juniors, signed for Metz de France, a team where former international Justina Praça played.
In addition to the embezzlement caused by Pascoal’s departure, the squad under Vivaldo also notes the limitation of the central Vilma Nenganga that, after a fracture in the arm, is recovered, but must act with caution.
Petro will play in group “B”, which also includes the FAP of Cameroon, Habitat of Côte d’Ivoire, Flowers HC and HBC El Biar. 1º de Agosto, national champions and holder of the continental title, will play in the first phase in group “B”, alongside DGSP from Congo, TKC from Cameroon, Club du Sport Feminin de Moknine (CSFM) from Tunisia, CF Boumerdes , from Algeria, and IMO Grasshippers from Nigeria.
