TOO QUALITY OPPONENT
The quality of the Spanish women's team is not only the 6th position on the FIFA rankings but also comes from a team of professional players with equal quality from 2 top clubs: Real Madrid and Barcelona. With the national team built around 2 big names in Europe, it will help Spain have a stable framework, the players play together regularly so they have a good understanding and perfect teamwork. The Spanish women's team is achieving stability when winning 2 consecutive victories in the preparation for the World Cup: beating Panama with an unbelievable score of 7-0 and winning easily 2-0 against strong opponent Denmark. More importantly, in those 2 matches, coach Vilda successfully tested many different talented faces. The opponent of the Vietnamese women's team has a ball control style of play, focusing on attacking the flanks and the middle. Losing the ball, they change the state, pressing to win the ball and attacking directly very quickly. The Spanish women's players have excellent individual techniques, the ability to pass people gently and gracefully. Many factors possess perfect tactical vision, often launching smart passes, the ability to finish from a distance is also very impressive. COMPLETING THE LAST PIECES With what coach Mai Duc Chung has used in the past two important friendly matches, almost all the positions in the defense and defensive midfield have been chosen. Showing a superb performance in the match against New Zealand, Kim Thanh is not only the number 1 choice in goal but also the biggest hope of the defense. The three central defender positions will also include Tran Thu - Diem My - Thu Thuong. The players guarding the sidelines will be Hoang Loan and Thu Thao. Most likely, the two winger positions will also be assigned to Bich Thuy and Thanh Nha, players with good physical foundation, agility and high variability to be ready for counter-attack situations. Thanh Nha's attacks with the ability to connect with Duong Van or Huynh Nhu still show that we can also score. Nha's well-organized wall pass with Huynh Nhu and a whirlwind down the left wing opened up an extremely favorable opportunity for the Vietnamese women's team in the match against New Zealand. If in that situation, Nha had crossed to Bich Thuy, we would have definitely scored instead of the young talent hastily finishing from a narrow angle. The last positions that make coach Mai Duc Chung hesitate are probably Huynh Nhu and Hai Yen. Using Nhu in the central midfielder position is an unsuccessful experiment when Nhu cannot support the defense. But if we push Nhu to the striker position, we will lack fast counter-attacks and sweeping situations. That will be the difficulty of the coaching board in choosing and arranging the final pieces. And it is very possible that each person will be arranged and used at each specific time. For example, when Nhu plays as a striker, the attacking passes must be directly to Nhu's position and then Thuy - Nha quickly rush up to support. But if Hai Yen plays highest, it will be passes into the space to use the speed and sweeping ability of this player. After the match with New Zealand, the Vietnamese women's team has entered quality exercises to prepare for the confrontation with Spain. In which flexibility and agility are focused on by the coaching board with reflex and speed exercises. Coach Chung also had his players review the skills of passing and controlling the ball in a narrow area at high speed to deal with the opponent's high pressing situations. The attacking front, low crosses or long shots from the second line are still the most repeated things. In general, all the players are very focused on each training session and each request of the coaching staff. Of course, winning or losing will not be the issue in the match with the Spanish women's team. The focus will be on improving performance, patching up tactical holes and choosing the final pieces correctly so that we can have the perfect squad before July 22 (match against the US). THE VIETNAMESE WOMEN'S TEAM IS READY According to the Spanish press, the brightest star of the country's women's team, Alexia Putellas, will not be present in the match with the Vietnamese women's team due to health problems. As for the Vietnamese women's team, according to captain Huynh Nhu before the training session on July 13: "Currently, the health of the whole team is very good and they are actively preparing for the match against Spain. With the attention of FIFA and VFF, the team has very good living conditions. I hope everyone will always love and accompany the Vietnamese women's team. The whole team will try their best to respond to the trust of the fans."
