Jorge Vilda said in the preview of the duel against Switzerland that he noticed a certain pessimism about the game against the Swiss. And it was not for less after the embarrassing defeat of Japan in the last match of the group stage. The Spanish coach, who during the previous days warned of the confidence and motivation of his players to make history, began the revolution from the starting eleven. Five changes compared to the previous match against Japan to turn around a line-up that left no room for error in a group that was playing a single card in the round of 16. “You have to improve and go through slight positional movements,” he reflected before the duel. Based on the result, his ideas turned out quite well.
Unconcerned by the criticism that pointed out to him after the Japanese blunder, he brought on Alba Redondo, Pichichi from the F League to the detriment of Alexia Putellas, who had not been playing in full condition. Without the double Ballon d’Or, Aitana Bonmatí emerged as the leader of the game and shone superlatively. Esther González was also a starter up front, accompanying Jennifer Hermoso, somewhat further behind than in previous games.
Movements like having a center forward and not a false 9, which rebuilt the team to get to what was missing against Japan, the goal. Oinhane Hernández and Laia Codina, who was making her debut in the Oceania event, also acted in defense at the start. The first replacing Olga Carmona, who had been playing on the side to date, and the second for Rocío Gálvez after her bad game against the Nadeshiko and the muscular discomfort of the captain Ivana Andrés.
