Vilda: "I don't think about not beating Denmark"

MADRID, 15 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish women's soccer coach, Jorge Vilda, has assured that "no" has put himself "in the scenario of not winning" this Saturday against Denmark in the last match of the group stage of the European Championship in England, in which they play their pass to the quarterfinals, and considers that they have "margin to improve" after the duel against Germany.

"I have not put myself in the scenario of not winning tomorrow, I have put myself in the scenario of going to the quarterfinals," he declared at a press conference. "I don't think beyond tomorrow's game. All that would be energy that remains for the goal. We have to put all the meat on the grill for the final that we play tomorrow," she added.

In this sense, he warned that they will not speculate with a hypothetical tie that would also give them the ticket to the qualifiers. "If you go out to tie or speculate on the result, it will surely go wrong. Spain goes out to win the games, tomorrow's is a final that we also want to win, and we are convinced that we can win," he said.

In addition, the Madrid coach warned that they will maintain their essence against the Danes. "Spain is Spain. Regardless of the players that play, we are going to show our best side, a better side than the one shown in previous games. We have a margin to improve and we need it to beat Denmark. We have emphasized getting the players back after two very intense games and in training on the blackboard. They are small nuances to find solutions", he stressed. "Our game is recognizable, and tomorrow I want a recognizable Spain to be seen," he stressed.

On the other hand, Vilda assured that they have worked to correct the hesitant first minutes against Finland and Germany, which made them fit in minute 1 and 3, respectively. "We have focused on how they can be solved and on having maximum security in the first few minutes. I think they have been specific errors that can be easily resolved. Very few times had it happened to us that we started a game with a goal against due to a specific error. Tomorrow they will leave psyched and with a lot of illusion to win", manifested.

About his rival this Saturday, he warned that it is "a team with experienced players." "We highlight his competitive nature, many games he has won in the last few minutes and he has created many chances. They will compete with him until the end and we cannot trust each other at any time. His two differential players, especially Harder, we know what they can generate at any time. Nadine, with her quality and her experience, can score you a goal. It's a team that dominates direct play, but that can make transitions and start short and play a combination game. They have a great level", he analyzed .

"We think that in goal kicks they are going to press us high, they have internalized the middle block quite well and they are a team that if they have to defend further down they feel comfortable because at any moment, with their fast players from above, they can create danger for you They need to win and if the result is adverse they will have to expose themselves more and go on the attack," he continued.

In another order of things, the Spanish coach warned that they cannot be trusted by the 3-0 that 'la Roja' endorsed Denmark in a friendly last year in Alcorcón. "It's something we keep in mind. Now they're not playing the same way, the context is different. In Alcorcón it was terrifyingly hot and it was a friendly; now it's a final in a final phase," he explained.

"Many of the rivals change when they go to face Spain. We prepare the players so that they are prepared for any situation. Teams that are more offensive end up in a low block, teams that press something are in a more intermediate zone... I have intelligent players who know how to adapt to what they have in front of them, who know how to find spaces", he continued.

Finally, regarding the players, he explained that they are "all available" and that they are only aware of how Laia Aleixandri trains. "After an MRI test, Laia will be available to train this afternoon. First she will do an adapted training, but then she will train with the group if everything goes well," she concluded.
