MADRID, 27 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The women's national soccer coach, Jorge Vilda, declares himself a "dialoguing person" and affirmed that his door "is always open" before a group of 15 internationals sent the RFEF an email asking that it "revert the situation" in the national team.

"I am a person who talks and my door is always open to talk and to solve things. These are football situations. We are going to continue working to get to the World Cup in the best conditions," he said in an interview for the October issue of the magazine. 'Esquire' collected by Europa Press.

In this interview, the women's coach talks about the exponential evolution that this sport has had in recent years, the values ​​on which it is based, its professional future and the controversy that surrounds the internationals.

"I have had offers outside of Spain, further away, closer, but I am where I want to be. My commitment to the Federation and to Spain is total. We have a great team, we know what we play, people respect us for the way we play and I am where I want to be," stressed Jorge Vilda.

In his opinion, defeat is a feeling "much more powerful than victory." "In football or in any sport. When you lose, there is a digestion process. I feel strong to continue because we have an exciting season and a very nice challenge in the World Cup," he said.

Women's football is, according to him, "purer". "He doesn't have the picaresque of the masculine. I would love for him to stay that way. The protagonists are the players who are on the field. The coach has his space, each one his own," he said.

Alexia Putellas' injury, 24 hours after making her debut in the last European Championship, was an "atomic bomb". "It had to be managed on an emotional level. The most striking thing is the strength that Alexia has, it was extraordinary to see how she encouraged the rest," he said.

The worst moment of his sports career was when he found out that the Atlético de Madrid international Virginia Torrecilla, one of the captains of the Spanish team, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
