Montse Tomé: “We wanted to start the game very strong. It was difficult for us to have a little more punch in the first half, but the second half was better. The best was the football, the intensity of the players and the fans. The worst was being able to improved circulation and have a little more punch. Now it’s time to rest, think about what things we can improve for the next concentration. With the desire to continue and start again. It has been an atypical week. We have overcome it, the players have been professional and let’s hope it goes well in the next call.

Two tickets for the Olympic Games
The two finalists of this Nations League will get a place in the Paris 2024 Games, as long as neither of them is the host France.
A good chance
Spain has the opportunity to emerge today as the sole leader of Group A4 of the Nations League. After the victory against Sweden, La Roja shared the lead with Italy, which lost at home against the Swedish team 0-1. In this way, Spain will take control alone if it draws or beats Switzerland, although it is the victory that would enhance the options of moving to the ‘final four’ of the tournament and opting for one of the two places for the Paris Olympic Games. 2024.
It will be the first time that the Spanish team plays at home after winning the World Cup. The fans did not want to miss the opportunity to see the world champions and they have sold out the tickets at the Nuevo Arcángel in Córdoba. Yesterday, before the match, Mariona thanked the Cordoba fans for their support and encouraged them to come to the stadium to enjoy a night of football. Let’s hope that the evening comes hand in hand with a new victory.
The last precedent
Spain and Switzerland met just a month ago, in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where the Spanish team won by a clear 5-1 that raised the morale of La Roja to head towards the final title.
Two novelties in Spain
Tomé makes two changes to the ‘eleven’ he presented against Sweden in Gothenburg. Ohiane, on the right side, comes in for Ona Batlle, while Eva Navarro relieves Athenea del Castillo on the right wing.
Lineups
Spain starts with Cata Coll; Ohiane, Irene Paredes, Laia Aleixandri, Olga Carmona; Alexia, Tere Abelleira, Aitana; Eva Navarro, Lucía García and Mariona Caldentey.
Swiss empieza con Herzog; Aigbogun, Maritz, Bühler, Riesen; Sow, Wälti, Vallotto; Marti, Lehman and Piubel.
Before breaking down some of the keys to this match, it is time to review the lineup of Spain and Switzerland.
The Spanish team puts all its debates aside to focus on sports. The Montse Tomé footballers achieved a creditable victory in Sweden on the first day and are looking for the second against Switzerland at the Nuevo Arcángel in Granada, where the sign of no tickets has been posted. Spain can begin to make a difference in Group A4 and consolidate its leadership with a new victory against the Swiss team, which arrives with significant losses such as Bachmann.
Good afternoon!
We start with this Spain-Switzerland corresponding to the second day of the women’s Nations League.
