The head coach, Christy Holly, said: “We have been very diligent in locating each and every player, from the position they like, where they have the maximum price in the box, the relationships they have outside the box and what they can contribute. Organization.
“In general, we have tried to apply this diligent technique and are convinced that we have chosen the right people. “
