Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The National Team for the World Basketball Championship, from August 25th to September 10th, in Indonesia, Japan and Philippines must be balanced from the point of view of more and less experienced.<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition to the young athletes who stood out in the qualifying phase, players like Carlos Morais, Bruno Fernando, Yanick Moreira and Si\u0301lvio de Sousa would make all the difference, fundamentally in the inner game.<\/p>\n

According to the basketball director of 1.o de Agosto, Joaquim Gomes \u201cKikas\u201c, on the sidelines of the African Swimming Championship in zone IV, which ended Sunday in Luanda, the national coach is, however, sovereign in the choices.<\/p>\n

The former pole of 1.o de Agosto and the national team recognizes that Angola had a good qualifying phase with a balanced team in terms of renewal, although in the end the biggest bet fell on the younger players.<\/p>\n

“I know that the coach intends to revitalize with a view to African competitions and other international tournaments. He may do so on another occasion because in the world cup the objective is to raise the name of Angola”, he stressed.<\/p>\n

For the also president of the Olympic Academy of Angola, coach Pepe Claro\u0301s should announce the squad as soon as possible and proceed with the first micro-cycle of preparation.<\/p>\n

He defends the start of the work even if it is only with the athletes that evolve in the country since they are without competition, with the exception of the members of Petro de Luanda involved in the African Championship whose final took place this month in Kigali, Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Kikas believes that the call has already been made and that the Angolan Federation of the sport is only waiting for the end of Petro’s endeavor to announce it.<\/p>\n
