The World Cup in Qatar began for Spain with a win against Costa Rica (7-0) and the women’s team would like something similar, which also debuts in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand against the Costa Ricans. «We know that there is a great expectation with what we can do on the field and that in the end is a privilege and extra motivation. Our goal is always to win and we have a recognized and recognizable style throughout the world,” said the Spanish coach, Jorge Vilda at the press conference prior to Spain’s debut in the Women’s World Cup.
Spain makes its debut in Wellington and the Spanish internationals can no longer wait to take the field. “We are really looking forward to getting started. These three days have been a little slower for us, but the month has flown by and as the debut draws near, you really want to and they slow down. Many sessions have been completed on the pitch and in the gym, including video analysis to improve ourselves, to study our rivals well and we are prepared and ready to start the World Cup”, added the Spanish coach.
The selection opens at 9:30 a.m. Spanish peninsular time and the game can be seen on La 2 and on the Rtveplay platform.
«We have made an incredible preparation with three games and it is one of the most important things, knowing how to arrive. Our goal is to win and be close to excellence, which is very difficult in football,” says striker Esther, one of the team’s captains.
“It is an illusion and a privilege to be here, fulfilling a dream after overcoming many obstacles and doing things well”, explains the former Real Madrid player, who highlights the good atmosphere in the team. “We have a common goal with the same idea and the same mentality. We are different footballers who can contribute different things and we know what we are coming for. We are strong and united », she assures.
The great concern of the Spanish coaching staff is the physical condition of Alexia Putellas. “We are optimizing all the training sessions to the maximum to have the best Alexia”, explains Jorge Vilda. “We are being very, very delicate with everything that is done and putting all the means so that Alexia arrives in the best conditions,” he adds. And he insists that “the 23 players called up are available.”
