Spanish goalkeeper Misa Rodríguez stated after the team’s first day of training in Nantes that she believes “it will be very difficult to get a medal, but not impossible.” “I have always described this group as a team with no limits and I hope we win a medal,” he said.
“People think it’s very easy to get medals for us, who won the World Cup and the League of Nations, and for the athletes, but it will be difficult. It will be a big step for the national team and, more to everyone, for the country, so we hope that all the Spaniards are proud of all the athletes,” added the soccer player this Monday, on his 25th birthday.
Spain will face the first Olympic Games in its history and this Thursday debut against Japan, the only team that managed to defeat the current world champions in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Misa Rodríguez explained that they really wanted to face the Japanese team because of the defeat in the World Cup last year. “We really want to stand up to them and face the game while we’re training, knowing the weapons they’re going to use and the weapons we have,” he explained.
Furthermore, the Canarian goalkeeper pointed out that one of the keys is to counter Japan’s strongest weapons such as the transitions that plagued them in the World Cup match to achieve victory, although he also commented that it was not a topic being discussed. many of the costumes.
“Honestly, there is not much talk about the need to win. Every day we train through training, knowing what they will do with us on the field and from there with a clear mind and peace of mind that in the game we will definitely get the things we train for, ” he said.
On the other hand, the world champion reflected: “We still don’t know everything we have achieved throughout the year and being able to participate in the Olympic Games. “I don’t know if in four years we will be able to experience the Games again because it is very difficult to qualify and I think we are looking at this as if it is the last.”
“We are going step by step, game by game and I hope we can win medals,” repeated the Spain goalkeeper in conclusion, which is part of group C which includes Japan, Nigeria and Brazil.
