The women's team faces the process of Hungary in the midst of turbulence

MADRID, 1 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish women's soccer team will return to action this Friday (9:00 p.m.) after passing through the European Championship in England with an official duel without much at stake against Hungary and a score for the turbulent week that has been experienced in the concentration.

After losing last July 20 in the extra time of the EURO quarterfinals against the hosts England, the national team met again to complete the qualifying phase for the 2023 World Cup with their home games, both in the City of Soccer of Las Rozas (Madrid), against Hungary and Ukraine, with nothing at stake since it is classified.

However, the focus during Monday's concentration was not even on these two games but on the figure of coach Jorge Vilda. The coach did not come out of the continental tournament well because of some of his decisions and it was even said that some players had asked him to leave office.

And the passage of time seems that not only did it not cool down that claim but it accelerated it, causing a very rarefied and tense atmosphere during these days. Words like 'riot', 'rebellion' or 'division' have been the most heard, although the players themselves, through the mouth of their captain, Irene Paredes, clarified in the previous one that they have not requested "the dismissal" of the coach, who He was "disappointed" with what happened.

In the purely sporting, Spain will try to recover from everything that is surrounding the clash and try to sign an immaculate qualifying phase with full of victories and without conceding. The first rival will be a Hungary without options, but they will try to take advantage of all the noise generated to scratch something positive that in their stadium they could not even come close to falling 0-7.

Vilda will not be able to count, in addition to the injured Alexia Putellas, on two regular starters such as the central defender 'Mapi' León and the midfielder Aitana Bonmatí, injured as well as Marta Cardona or Shei García, although she has Jenni Hermoso again, who could playing more as a playmaker than as a striker in a match where the coach could test more than usual and which could mean the debut of Athletic Club's full-back Oihane Hernández, a great novelty on the list. "We will look for those who are one hundred percent and without mental reservations," she warned.
