If you have to lose it better be like this

Spain once again demonstrated one more tournament, which can look anyone in the face. It is true that the time will come when this will not be enough, but the national team fought and fought against everything and everyone in a night that, although it made us cry, we will never forget. The team showed their faces. And how.

What seemed like a managerial attack from Jorge Vilda turned out to be the game in which England were most uncomfortable. Despite giving some claws and having the feeling that with almost nothing they put us in danger, Sarina did not see it clearly. The plan was on. Jorge touched it up at the break. He assumed that, much to her chagrin, Marta Cardona lacks some rhythm and she put in Athenea and England clearly collapsed. The Cantabrian magician faced and faced... And Esther's energy, the door knocked down. We met in semis and whoever says otherwise is lying. Esther smiled at the camera and made the famous 'T' for her. From seeing it black, we went on to see it, first to dark gray, then to light gray until it was pink. England was not there and the national team was. The roadmap was clear... If England looked superior, ball to the fridge. The other football, go. Delay in a serve, a soccer player on the ground... Everything served to cool the boiler.

But fate was cruel to this group. They have recovered from injuries, Covid outbreaks, controversies and they looked ahead. In a lateral play and with a possible foul on Irene, England woke us up from sleep. We'll never forget that night we found ourselves taking out the hostess. And neither was that shot that took away half our lives at that moment when the alarm sounded and, without delaying, cruelly woke us up. Now it's time to reflect and think about what we have to change for next year's World Cup. The fact is that, although we have to polish details, we have two tournaments in which we can not put a single reproach. Spain competed and hooked. England ended up stuck in their area and locked up. And that her dressing room thought we were an easy rival. They needed all the drive of playing at home and the invaluable help of the "excellent" French referee who allowed an illegal goal to go up on the scoreboard. We won't forget the day we all dreamed of... And neither what this tournament would have been like with Alexia and Jenni.
