Jorge Vilda: "I notice a little bit of negativity, so… Come on, Spain! Let's win the game!"

The Spanish coach, Jorge Vilda, appeared this Friday before the media at the press conference prior to the match against Switzerland this Saturday (7.00, TVE). It should be remembered that in the other two participations of Spain in this tournament they fell in the group stage and in the round of 16, so reaching the quarterfinals would mean achieving their best result to date.

Regarding what happened against Japan, the coach assured that “it is not a defeat that has been forgotten or that is going to be forgotten. It has caused a deep groove, but sometimes they are also necessary for the evolution and growth of the team.”

After the criticism received, the coach wanted to emphasize that he sees the team with total security and stated: “I notice a little bit of negativity, so…. Come on, Spain! Let's go Team! We're going to win the game!”

Switzerland, the rival to beat

Opposite will be Switzerland, which for Vilda “has something very valuable, which is that in three games they have not scored a goal. That means they have a very solid defence, they have players who make a difference.”

Regarding the two main threats for the Swiss team, Ramona Bachmann and Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic, the coach explained that he has analyzed their tactics in depth. In addition, he concluded the appearance by saying that “We know Ana-Maria, we have seen her all season. And if we know how to stop it, we have information.”. We will have to wait until this Saturday to find out if the Spanish team finally gets the victory and, therefore, the pass to the quarterfinals.
