“From tomorrow, I expect the team to show what has been shown in preparation. We are all very concentrated, there is great awareness. In recent years I have won with teams that, before any other quality, were a real group. The 2019 World Cup is the most striking example of this, there weren’t 11 players but 23. I expect to find this spirit again because I think it is fundamental”. Said the captain of Italy, Cristiana Girelli, in the press conference in Auckland on the eve of the debut at the World Cup.
“Ours is a tough group and this is a highly competitive competition. Tomorrow’s match will be very important, even if not decisive – explained Girelli -.
We will face a South American team, we associate their character and their intensity, which combined with the technique can be a very dangerous weapon. It will be a difficult match also from a temperament point of view, but we are preparing well and we hope to face it in the best way”.
