The Spanish women’s soccer coach, Jorge Vilda, has assured that the group is “very united and very cohesive” and that the players are “convinced” that they can play “a good game” this Tuesday at El Sadar against the United States, one of the FIFA ranking, all despite the absence of the 15 soccer players who gave up attending the call.

“We approach the game naturally, from the competition, being themselves. We must go in well, be mentally prepared to play a good game, and I am confident that they are. They are convinced that it can be done,” she declared at a conference. press.

In addition, he insisted on the “privilege” that being in the national team means for them. “They are delighted to be in the national team, which is the greatest privilege for a player; I know that none of the 23 would change being in the national team and facing the best in the world for being anywhere else. They deserve to be here and tomorrow will show,” he stressed.

“The group is very united and very cohesive, not only in training, but also in team dynamics. We have had more talks and more meetings than usual, but we have to bring together players who have not been much. They are enjoying and the staff as well. I think the team is very clear about what they can do tomorrow to play a good game”, he explained.

He also considers that, despite the absence of 15 of the internationals, the essence of the team is the same. “Our game model, the essence of the Spanish team, does not change. Yes, depending on the players that are there, it can acquire certain nuances. The other day we saw a more vertical Spain, with more arrivals, but above all we saw a Spain recognizable. That’s not going to change, it’s going to evolve,” he explained.

Vilda is also confident in the team’s chances against a rival they have never beaten. “We are ready, confident from the good game the team played against Sweden,” she said. “The players are going to come out 100% and with conviction to face the most difficult match at the national team level against the number one in the ranking. It is a team that has extraordinary numbers, world champions, Olympic champions, players with a lot of experience” , he pointed.

In another order of things, the Madrid coach downplayed the whistles that were heard in the Nuevo Arcangel when his name was heard over the loudspeaker. “The other day, the more than 5,000 people who came also had their part in us seeing the game played by the players, especially in the second half,” he said.

“The fans vibrated with the national team, we heard cries of ‘Yes, we can’, which helps a lot playing against a team like Sweden, physically very strong. Tomorrow I expect the same from the fans with almost double the number of spectators,” he added.

Finally, Vilda was happy to be able to return to Navarra. “We come with great enthusiasm to be in Navarra; we were here in preparation for the World Cup in France and we have many memories. We are happy and excited to play for the first time in El Sadar”, she concluded.
