Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Despite having only taken second place, the team from Sal, Llana, had a great championship, as the best scorer in the championship and number 10, the young Mai\u0301sa Da Luz, says. The athlete scored six goals, winning the award for top scorer in the 2023 edition of the competition.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Ra\u0301dio de Cabo Verde, Mai\u0301sa said that she started playing football as a child, did her training at Escola EFIZ but it was at Dorense that \u201cshe started to take everything more seriously\u201d and now she made her debut in the national championship for the team of Llana, in his first season as an athlete of the runner-up national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first secret is to play for the team and with the intuition of winning. And of course when I score goals it feels even better. I’ve already scored six, but it’s all the result of the effort of the whole team”, underlined the athlete.<\/p>\n

The dream of reaching the national team<\/p>\n

Mai\u0301sa says it is a dream that she has been feeding for a long time and hopes that the performance obtained in this national championship will open the door, perhaps, towards the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a dream, I always thought I’d get there and I can’t hide my anxiety for one day being in the national team\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Mai\u0301sa is undoubtedly one of the great highlights of this championship and has certainly aroused curiosity among the public that has been marking their presence in the stands of Esta\u0301dio Ade\u0301rito Sena, in Mindelo.<\/p>\n

The striker ended the competition as the top scorer, with six goals, five of which were scored in the last two matches, a hat-trick in the 3rd round against his former team Dorense, and a brace in the 4th round against Mindelense.<\/p>\n

Camoca was the MVP of the final, Jacinta from Seven Stars was the best goalkeeper in the competition and Ai\u0301cha from Mindelense was the best player in the national championship.<\/p>\n

The national coach, Silve\u0301ria Ne\u0301dio, has been watching the games of this National, taking into account the unprecedented entry of Cape Verde for the qualifiers of access to the CAN of Women’s Football. The first round, in September, will be against Liberia.<\/p>\n
