The girls of Toña Is –most plays in the Second – have made doublet: the Euro gained in may is now added the World. The first for women’s football Spanish. They have succeeded thanks to a great group guided by the experience of Tasting Coll, the enormous quality of Claudia Pina, the claw of the tireless Eva Navarro (typical of the u-20 that played the World cup in August) and the soccer of Irene Lopez.
The triumph in Uruguay is the culmination of a year full Matadorbet of successes. In addition to the above-mentioned doublet of the u-17; u-19 won the european Championship in July and the selection sub-20 played the World cup final in August. Failed against Japan –the asian countries are, together with the united States and Germany, the powers in women’s soccer – against which lost 1-3, but it was discovered to the world. The prize for the good work in the lower categories working with the same pattern of play. Spain has 25 times less licenses that Germany, for example, (less than 50,000 by more than a million) and yet, you get to put together competitive teams.
The key, according to Toña Is, is also in the clubs. “They are working great: when we got here the girls are note that are worked tactically. With that rise before long, it is the fundamental part. They have a good coach, means: we have taken a leap in quality. Link the sections female professional teams, in addition, has given us life”, explained the coach before the World cup in Uruguay. From there you will return with the first World women’s football Spanish that closes in 2018 in the best way. The selection absolute waits his turn for 2019. On the 7th of June starts the World in France, the which are ranked by winning all the matches.
