Istanbul – The assistant coach of the National Amputee Football Team, Hélder Gomes said Tuesday that Angola will use its offensive speed to surprise England, a slow team to recover due to weight.
Looking ahead to the 2:00 pm match on Wednesday, at the Turkish Football Federation Complex, where this phase of the event is taking place, he said that from the scouting made to the opponent, technical capacity was identified as a strong point.
Speaking to Angop, He reiterated, however, that the slowness of the English team is compensated by the individual technique and that the game of Angola is being prepared based on these assumptions.
