MADRID, 19 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Levante player Irene Guerrero acknowledged that the final of the Super Cup last year, which they lost to Atlético de Madrid, is a “thorn” and an “incentive” to “come out with “double competitiveness” against the red and whites this year, and also sees the team “more united than ever”.
“We don’t come in a good dynamic, but the team is more united than ever, we always grow in the face of adversity. We believe in ourselves, it will be a beautiful semifinal,” Guerrero said this Wednesday before facing Atlético de Madrid in the semifinal of the Super Cup from Spain.
Guerrero is one of the players who lost in the final of last year’s edition of this tournament, precisely against the red and whites, and in the press room she acknowledged that she is “a thorn in the side”. “The players have that little thorn stuck, it was a pretty tough moment, it’s one more incentive to go out with twice the demand and competitiveness to win the game,” he said.
“Playing the Super Cup is synonymous with having done things well, if we’re here it’s because we deserve it. Our goal is to do well in the tournament,” he said about the importance of the tournament for his team.
Finally, Guerrero celebrated the return to a call-up of the Atlético de Madrid player Virginia Torrecilla, almost two years later and after overcoming cancer. “It has been synonymous with joy and happiness, she is a person who deserves it, even if she is a rival, seeing her dressed in shorts will be a very nice day. I hope she enjoys it and can gather strength mentally,” he concluded.
