Spain has started its path in the female Eurocup with a forceful 5-0 against Portugal, and on the board of Quintana, Vero Boquete has put voice to the analysis of an exhibition that excites. Together with Adrián Blanco and Nahuel Miranda, the Spanish former international stressed that “the analysis is very positive,” and stressed that “especially the first 45 minutes were of a very high level that is not easy in a first match of the Eurocup.”
One of the names of the meeting was that of Vicky López, who jumped to the grass to replace Aitana Bonmatí. For gap, Vicky's was almost “Leave us speechless”highlighting his self -confidence and winning mentality despite the difficulty of debuting in a great appointment. “For her it was another day, one more training, one more party, and with that mental lightness that youth gives her, she could be comfortable in a first Eurocopa game,” he explained. “It shone because the first 45 minutes are fantastic, with individual actions, understanding very well where to appear and when”he said.

Tactical superiority before the low block of Portugal
The former player also analyzed how Spain knew how to decipher the Portuguese framework. “When you face a rival with a low block like Portugal, who defended with great accumulation of soccer players, you have to look for ways to mess them up. Spain did it,” Boquete said. Especially valued Esther's role, which “set the centrals”and how players like Mariona and Claudia Pina generated superiorities from within. “We had five or six players in different lanes, the sides had space to climb and fix,” he said.
Boquete influenced that tactical wealth allowed to see the combinative and rapid game that defines the selection. “Then there gives you the possibility of finding those combinations that we saw many times to one or two touches, and that the Portuguese team did not know when to jump, or how to jump, or to jump to”he explained, making it clear that the Spanish domain was absolute.

The pressure after loss, key in success
Another aspect that Boqueque highlighted was the intensity of Spain to recover the ball. “Fundamental not only because you can steal high, but because of the fluidity that gives you later, because at the time you steal you are already intense, you are involved in a game ”he said. He added: “Sometimes we ask Spain that it is not so inert, so pasty, and yesterday the truth is that it was not, thanks also to that pressure after loss that made everyone be very connected to the party.”
Regarding what he expects on the second day, Boquete warned that Belgium will raise a game very similar to that of Portugal, with a low block and waiting against. However, he fully trust the team. “What I expect in the next game is a very similar game, where Belgium is going to get back, he will wait, and Spain has to overwhelm from the first moment,” he said. “The first 45 minutes of yesterday in Spain, regardless of the opponent, are of a very high football level And in this Eurocup there is no selection that can reach that level, ”he said.
Spain has started with a firm step in the female Eurocup, and on the Pizarra de Quintana they wanted to highlight its great premiere. “Spain started with very good foot this female Eurocup and we also wanted to dedicate here a space on the board”, Concluded Adrián Blanco, saying goodbye to a Vero Boquete that promises to continue shining the keys of the National Team in upcoming programs.
