The team faces the hosts, England, tomorrow for a place in the semi-finals of the European Championship
“We are eager to win, with a mentality that we can beat anyone”, said the azulgrana
Patricia Guijarro, player of the Spanish team, said that all the players would like to be in the quarter-finals on Wednesday against England and said that they are motivated to find a full stadium in Brighton.
“We’re excited, very excited. It’s a quarterfinal against the host. The state will be full, it will be beautiful and special. All the players would like to be here and give everything,” said Guijarro at the press conference held on Tuesday at Brighton’s stadium.
“These days we don’t stop talking about the time coming. We feel it that way and we live it that way.” “Fans go to watch a football match, one of the best there can be in women’s football. It is a game that if you like football is to be very aware. We like that there are fans and that the stadium is full; we are like that”, added the Spanish midfielder.
Regarding the possibility of being favorites to win the title at the beginning of the tournament, Guijarro assured that they have never put any label on themselves and that it is the best they have been able to do. “Our work, our ambition, has always been the same. From the beginning until today, it has been the same. We are eager to win, with a mentality that we can beat anyone playing well and being Spain,” said Guijarro.
“Yes, it is true that England are one of the best teams, but we have never put a label on ourselves. It is the best we could do.”
Football-wise, Guijarro added that the key this Wednesday is having the ball and taking it away from England. “I don’t think we have to adapt to their game. The best we can do is play our game, have the ball, that will be our attack and our best defense. In the games they have played they have had a lot of the ball and that has caused them to have many chances”, he clarified.
