The Madrid coach assured that, “whatever happens” against the Japanese, “this concentration has been a success” and warned that the Japanese, “even if they are not in the ‘top 10’, play football of association with players of great quality” , capable of “playing in many positions.
He added of the Japan team that it was also notable that, while not outstanding because of the stature of its players, “they are dangerous from set pieces.”
Vilda emphasized that this match will serve them to continue preparing for the World Cup, where he recalled that “there are two concentrations left and the last one”, which is “very relevant” because Japan is the will be the “most powerful rival” that Spain will have “in the group stage” of the oceanic event.
In the process of integrating youngsters into the team, he emphasized that, like other teammates, Sevilla striker Inma Gabarro, U-20 world champion last summer, “had a dream debut” in Friday in Melilla as a full international, since six minutes. of the friendly against Argentina (7-0) was enough for him to score, which is what “the coaching staff expects of him”.
“He has something that very few have, and that is inside the area which is lethal. The way he moves and finds space is difficult to see. He has instinct and we are trying to strengthen it,” said Vilda about to the Espartinas attacker, 20 years old and for whom he predicted “a good future”.
