São Paulo — The physical limitations that the national team had during the 2011 world handball cup showed the old problem of the calling of 18 athletes instead of the current 16 that were summoned by coach Vivaldo Eduardo who stressed, on Saturday, the need to change attitudes on this subject.
Speaking to the press in São Paulo, the coach revealed the reason why only 16 athletes were called up, when the regulations of the International Handball Federation already allow eighteen, as was the case of most of the teams in the Brazil world cup.
The coach said that the national team could summon more players due to financial problems of the federation.
