Barcelona There are few, to say no one, who still trust Jorge Vida, coach of the Spanish women’s national team. After a promising start against Costa Rica and Zambia in which the Red didn’t concede a goal, the match against Japan made them hit the ground running. The Japanese women went over the Spanish and endorsed them 4-0. There is no excuse. all or nothing A life or death duel. Spain plays at Eden Park in Auckland (7.00 a.m., La 1) the continuation of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Make history by getting the first win in a playoff in one of the big tournaments or say goodbye to Oceania and Vilda.
A selection out of place, without ideas and outdated
This is undoubtedly the World Cup of surprises. No scenario is taken for granted after Germany’s defeat of reigning European runners-up Germany in the group stage for the first time in history. Neither Brazil (champion of the last Copa America) nor Canada (champion of the last Olympic Games) will be in the round of 16.
Despite reaching the round of 16, Jorge Vilda and his students were playing for honor and first place in the group. They achieved neither. Failed the first fire test. The conflict of the 15 it has been left behind and at this time the only consideration is to beat the Switzerland of the Blaugrana Ana-Maria Crnogorčević to save the furniture. Vilda has at its disposal players with the quality to do so, such as Alexia Putellas, double winner of the Ballon d’Or, Aitana, Ona Batlle or Jennifer Hermoso. The team has its own names but it lacks automatisms.
The players have turned the page and only think about victory. It will be an even tie. The two selections arrive with similar sensations but different dynamics. The defense of Switzerland against the gunpowder of Spain. The Inka Grings have finished as group leaders after winning 0-2 against the Philippines and obtaining two nil draws against Norway and New Zealand, the hosts of the tournament. Two goals in favor but no goal conceded. A case similar to that of the national team, which despite having added the same points as Japan finished second in the group. A frantic start against Costa Rica (3-0) and Zambia (5-0) came to naught when they conceded a 4-0 against the Japanese. On Saturday, it will be seen how this bucket of cold water affects a selection that was a priori favorite to take the title and which little by little the seams have been showing. Especially in defense and on the bench.
Jorge Vilda is poses the scarf
Against the Swiss, the victory is due to the tactical board, one of Spain’s shortcomings. “Being critical is not the same as being self-critical. Vilda has only done the first part,” Sandra Riquelme told Relevo. Vilda is a controversial technician who has been left without most supports, and who is currently only supported by Rubiales and some members of the Federation. Among the list of reproaches, the little tactical knowledge, as he demonstrated in the preview when he was asked what the team lacked and how he planned to reverse the situation. Far from a soccer response, Vilda put on her shirt and scarf: “She stands up knowing where we are, with professionalism, pride and love for this sport. She stands up with love for our country.” “I notice a bit of negativity… Let’s go, Spain! Let’s go, team! We’ll win the game, which I’m sure we’ll all be happy to progress to the quarter-finals”, are some of the statements made by the Madrid coach. Only the 90 minutes against Switzerland will prove him right or end his credit as a coach.
