and that is very important for these young ages. The team looked very well
drilled.

time with their coaches. The players have the ability and the physical attitude
for the game. I think they would be strong in Dubai,” Salgado admired.

would no surprises for me if they go through. I know that they (LSA) are going
to be a tough team to beat.”
