reality check and lesson learned

Sometimes football is not epic but effectiveness. Without a brilliant game, without dominating the match, without generating danger but taking advantage of their two chances on the counterattack and enduring the sometimes suffocating pressure of the Spanish players, Germany took a golden victory to seal their ticket to the quarterfinals. He had beaten Denmark Pernile Harder and Nadia Nadim by a resounding 4-0 and won yesterday over those of Wild, who had gone a whopping 24 games without losing, since March 2020.

It is clear that the eight-time European champion was not going to be so easily surprised. If the speech of those of Jorge Vilda in the previous one it had been a plea of ​​hope, of illusion, of being able to break the statistics against the Germans, the truth is that yesterday they showed that they have a license to dream because they competed until the last minute and only the lack of success and maturity, perhaps excessive innocence, turned its back on them.

No one knows better than Germany what it is to win a Euro. In fact, they did it consecutively from 1995 to 2013. They come for all and it will not be easy to stop them. Spain did not have the brilliant game of other occasions, duller than usual, but

For Vilda’s women, the game was undoubtedly another lesson. A step forward, another stumble from which to get up and learn. To continue growing and acquiring that baggage that sometimes makes them sinful of being innocent, such as forgiving too much in the first frantic minutes in which they did not stop pressing in search of the goal.

The stands were overturned with the team. The red crowd was larger and much louder, enthusiastic about a team that has earned the right to dream.

The surroundings of the Brentford stadium breathed football hours before the match. In a town dotted with pubs, the atmosphere was felt from every corner while at bus stops and in some places, the posters of the Women’s Euro just flooded everything.

Boys and girls and adults with Irene’s shirt, from Atana… here the Euro is enjoyed in a big way. In the end, the 16,036 people were able to see that Spain has a license to dream.
