”They are brave” said Jorge Vilda about the players called up, and with every reason in the world. They faced the third super potential of women’s football (Sweden) and they made the cut with eight players from Real Madrid and none from Barcelona. The growth of these last two years could have been reduced by this situation, but within the bad, the result was not the worst. They played without almost the 20 best soccer players in the country. Something unprecedented, especially when in the last big events, the selection has been competing face to face with the best.
Obviously, the role that these players can play is totally different from what the players who resigned could do. Above all due to the loss of Alexia Putellas, current Ballon d’Or and leader of this beautiful group that had been formed. This new call would never have taken place if this scandal had not occurred. That is to say, the new team does not improve the previous one, but they have a bullet that the latter did not have, and that is that they have much to gain and little to lose.
The weather was cold in Córdoba and whistles were heard towards the coach, while social networks were flooded with the hashtag #VildaOUT. Before the match, the coach left another sentence to remember: «We want to be Spain, the team we have always been. I think you can» and at times it did seem so because the starting eleven was full of players from great LaLiga Iberdrola teams. He further added: “These players are brave. They have shown that eleven Spanish soccer players can compete against any team in the world”. They will be able to face any team in the world, but with a small drop in the quality of the team. Their candidacy for the World Cup loses some steam, but they will be there. This situation can benefit them.
