It is these qualities that gave me the trust and confidence as her coach to select her as my team Captain.

Carmelina is technically a very sound player with a great gift of vision and an excellent tactical understanding of the game. I believe that Carmelina is a magnificent passion for the game and combining her great qualities as a player and person, I can only see success for her in her coaching career.
