Spain presented its candidacy for the European Championship tonight. The Montse selection took, got rid of Portugal with an impressive ease. Already in the second minute, Esther transformed with a sublime maneuver in which she controlled her chest and finished off spur under the pressure of Diana Gomes. The goal in the first play of La Roja was just a warning of what was to come: a light match that touched perfection. Spain controlled possession and game during the whole match, deployed asphyxiating and precise pressure every time he lost the ball and did not even let his rivals shoot at the goal. The work was so coral that the debut was solved with the four goals of the first half in a clash in which a minute of silence was held and in which both teams wore a black bracelet in the province of Zamora.

The Red appeared at the Stadion Wankdorf in Berna after the shocks that the current Golden Ball, and the tonsillitis that affected Cata Coll, the titular goalkeeper. I took was prudent and reserved both. Adriana Nanclares occupied the goal and Vicky López, who set a formidable performance, was the right interior in a center of the field with Patri and Alexia. María Méndez replaced Irene Paredes, the captain, sanctioned by a red that saw almost a year ago in a classification match for the euro, and formed a couple in the center of the rear with Aleixandri.
The team, with Mariona and Pina in the wings, did not leave the combined one directed by Francisco Neto. The Portuguese had already seen in April in a match in the League of Nations. Tonight, the feeling that there is an oceanic distance between both teams was very similar. The Red has already opened an important gap in the seven minute, when Vicky pushed a mouth and tense center of Mariona to the network. The Arsenal player, perhaps in the best season of her life, was chosen again by Tomé to leave from the extreme right in the first half. The Mallorcan, would be candidate for the Golden Ball, shone again in her less preferred profile. Many times he helped mark the tempo of the encounter with his combinations with the center of the field and with ONA, the right side.
The deployment of Spain, very precise with the ball and in the end, instantly broke the plan of Francisco Neto, which came out with a defense of five. The lusas were unable to braid to approach Nanclar, who in the first half only had to intervene with the foot to start the selection plays. The Red bitted enranged at each loss and managed to recover the possession again and again in the field of Portugal.
Vicky, was undetectable for Jacinto, Tatiana Pinto and Norton, the center of the Portuguese field. In addition to her first goal in a Eurocup with only 18 years, the Madrid showed her most expansive version, with a fantastic capacity to combine and drive at maximum speed and eliminate rivals almost as if they were. In one of his plays, he got rid of two defenses in the area and attended Pina, to which the shot was escaped by centimeters after Alexia also err a frank shot after a pass from the young midfielder. Putellas did succeed at the edge of the break after receiving a ball from Mariona, controlling with the chest and sending the ground to a rival with a postal dribble. Esther, who seems played by a magic wand since in April he returned to the group after a year outside, scored the room a moment after a pina center that crashed into a post.
With the encounter solved, I took changed Pina for Athenea at the break and sent Mariona to the left. The Red kept the voracious hunger to recover the leather and completed the win with a bit of the head in the discount of Martín-Prieto, who entered the final stretch, after Alexia and Vicky did not convert two free occasions.
The coach was also able to give Salma, Jana and Aitana minutes in a clash in which the team controlled the Lusos counterattacks perfectly and in which he finally kept the goal to zero after eight consecutive games fitting. Spain impressed at its premiere to present its candidacy for the euro, the title that the World Cup and Nations are missing these years.
