After the triumph once morest Nigeria, this Wednesday, by 26-24, in the first round of group D of the 26th edition of the African Cup of Nations, the national senior men’s handball team returns to action this Friday
The Warriors, who have high morale, will face Kenya, starting at 13:00 (Angola time).
In the challenge once morest the Nigerians, which took place at the 6th of October International Pavilion, in the city of Cairo, Egypt, Filipe Cruz’s commandos had to pull out all the stops to get off on the right foot.
Even with outstanding individuals in decision-making moments, the Angolan team fell short of what was expected.
Rúben José, Gabriel Teca, José Chicola, Agnelo Quitongo, Feliciano Couveiro and Adelino Pestana were unable to exploit their best characteristics.
In the rest period, remember, the Warriors won by two goals, that is, 13-11.
The coach of the Angolan national team was not satisfied with the performance of his players, meaning that the result was more important than the performance.
Therefore, Filipe Cruz demands a change of stance in the duel with the Kenyans, as the opponent intends to surprise.
However, the Angolans start as favorites, as Kenya is a modest opponent.
