Spain’s resounding victory over the Netherlands 3-0 at the La Cartuja Stadium, in the match corresponding to one of the semifinals of the Women’s Nations League. Jenni Hermoso, Aitana Bonmatí and Ona Batlle were the authors of the goals that gave the national team a pass to the final of this tournament, which will be held this Wednesday also in the Olympic stadium in Seville, with France as a rival (they won 2 -1 in their semi-final against Germany). Montse Tomé carried out an analysis of everything that happened in the crash, focusing first on RTVE. First of all, the coach said that this passage to the final was “a goal that we set for ourselves from the beginning.” Likewise, she was self-critical regarding some phases of the match, emphasizing that »the entry into the second half can be improved«. On balance, Tomé was »happy for the players and the coaching staff. We have gone through difficult times and, now, we enjoy the profession.” Shortly afterwards, already in the press room, the coach began by sending “a message of encouragement and strength to all the families affected by the Valencia fire.” Later, regarding the level of the rival, she said that “we started by playing a good game. In the qualifying phase, the best games were against Sweden, so this team grows against the big ones.” As for her own names, Mariona commented that she “is a player with a very high level of spatial intelligence.” Likewise, regarding Vicky, she classified her as a “natural talent” that she “has been here since she was 16 years old,” highlighting “her training and her ability. That has made us take the step of bringing her and she has earned her entry into the field. On the other hand, personally, regarding her situation in the national team, she recognized that “we are entering a difficult moment. Nobody chose him and we took a step forward. At the first press conference she was proud of the coaching staff and today I can say that I feel even more proud. We have evolved as a team and as a staff, we have achieved the objective.” In reference, again, to the game itself, Tomé commented that “we entered the game strong.” From the beginning, the players had been very psyched, we developed a very specific plan knowing what the Netherlands could do. We played a strong first half, we had to be very serious in the transitions. In the second half we didn’t go in at all well, but the changes made us have that punch again.” Finally, she referred to the qualification for the Olympic Games, adding that “we are a team that deserved to be there. For those who have fought, for those who could have been there and could not”; as well as attending the game, so she felt »very happy, we are making way. If we beat the record it means that we are evolving. We have to continue making progress on that, it is being achieved. We thank the fans for being with us. We hope you were able to enjoy it. “We are very happy to be in Seville.” Ona Batlle, MVP of the match and scorer of the third goal, also showed her satisfaction at reaching this final of the Nations League. “It’s very special, something unique and we are going to enjoy it,” said the player, who also highlighted that “the first half has been very good.” Furthermore, the Barcelona fan referred to the more than 20,000 spectators who received Spain in La Cartuja, claiming that they felt »super supported, it is something very special«. Finally, she commented that now it is their turn to »make up for Wednesday, the finals have to be won«.
