MADRID 4 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish women’s soccer coach, Montse Tomé, has assured that this Tuesday, in the victory in the friendly against France (2-4), they have reinforced “with goals” the “game” that has characterized them in recent times, and He believes that they will face next year, in which they face the Euro Cup and the League of Nations, “with strength.”
“We have reinforced the game that we were already playing with goals. In the Korean game the other day we got them, in this one we have dominated many aspects of the game. We knew that France could get away with a defense of three, we put that pressure on so that they don’t I made a lot of shots, but the key was to have the ball. In fact, when we lost position a little in the first half, we got a bit out of adjustment and we know that France has very fast players who can hurt us, so I’m happy because the team has done a great job,” he said in statements to TVE.
At the end of the first half, he acknowledged that there was “some defensive imbalance.” “We knew that we wanted to press high and jump with the sides, but if at any point we were late it was going to cause us to sink a little. And there appeared a bit of a feeling of not having control, starting to want to have it but losing it soon… “We knew that they were going to go very quickly to our field and there I think we accumulated about 10 minutes of imbalance,” he said.
“We played against a great team, France has potential, we know what they are playing and at some point that was going to happen. We had to endure the challenge, we endured it. We could have entered the second half better, but we were able to recover with two more goals,” continued the Asturian coach.
On the other hand, he explained the ownership of Adriana Nanclares and the substitution of Cata Coll. “Adri we know that in the restart she can help us a lot, she is a player who has a very clean release of the ball. We, both with Adri, with Cata and with Esther -Sullastres-, use the goalkeeper to generate superiority and Adri found it very “She has remained safe, she made her debut last game and in this one we have given her continuity. Cata has some discomfort and that has prevented her from being able to play, we did not want to force it,” he noted.
In another order of things, Tomé took stock of the year. “Today, in the talk, we told the players that 2024 had been a good year for the national team; we managed to win a Nation League, we managed to qualify for the Olympic Games, we came fourth in the Olympic Games… With the ambition that This team felt that we wanted more,” he confessed.
“We have recovered players who had not been part of the national team for a long time, they have adapted in a great way; we have made their debuts for footballers: Martín-Prieto, Maca, players who had not been here; and we have also managed to promote sub- 23 like Maite, who we give 20 minutes and it already seems that she is a soccer player who has been with us for a long time. The goal for them is to be in the Euro Cup, to get a seat for that Euro Cup and now we have a very great potential. They have to perform on their team to be at the highest level with us,” he analyzed.
Finally, on a personal level, she was “happy.” “It has been a year with a little bit of everything, I have been very supported by my people, I have been very sure in what I wanted. I love football, I love the profession, I have tried to learn from all the situations; there were some or the other with more difficulty, but I have tried to face it naturally, soak up what these footballers have, which is incredible energy and talent. We are surrounded by the best, we have a coaching staff that rows and adds, and we are going for 2025. with force,” he concluded.
