Date:

The Spanish women’s water polo team This Tuesday, he begins a new step in his Olympic preparations at the Water Polo Cup in Rotterdam, where he hopes to provide a great touchstone for the Paris Games. It started in the best way as Miki Oca’s girls won 11-12 in the host Netherlands.

Spain managed to come back from a match where He always ends up in his rival’s slipstream. They trailed 4-2 after the first eight minutes, trailed 7-4 at halftime and made it a tight 10-9 after the third quarter. However, in the last one they found the defensive formula to dry up the ‘oranje’ team and get a good victory in their Olympic preparations.

This, despite the victory itself, is important on a moral level because The Netherlands has struggled recently in the Spanish group. In memory, the recent defeats in the final of the European Championship this year (7-8) and in the final of the World Cup last year (16-17 after penalties), in two very close games that fell to the rival side. This time, it was Spain that reversed that trend before the Olympic event.

Miki Oca competed in this tournament in thirteen players who are in Paris and Paula Pratswhich completes the list of fourteen. Italy this Wednesday and France on Thursday (both at 5:15 pm) are the other teams the team is scheduled to face in the tournament, with an additional match on Friday against an opponent to be determined, along with Australia and Greece.
