On Wednesday night, England hosted Spain in the group stage of national leagues, and this quickly becomes one of the most anticipated rivalries in women’s international football.
Two countries met in the last two main tournaments, the first in the quarterfinals Euro 2022When England came from naked down to win 2-1 in additional time. Spain then took revenge on 12 months later, passing by the lions 1-0 in World Cup Final in Sydney.
Both teams will be hoped that the Euro Trophy in Switzerland will be looking for this summer, although it will not be the only one who imagines their chances. Accordingly, a meeting on Wednesday night at Wembley will be a strong indicator where and who has an advantage at this stage.
90min He broke some key battles that will determine who goes to win and take control of the national league group …
Last time England Faced with Spain, she saw Mariona Caldentey fighting Lucy bronze, but the Arsenal star was predominantly played on the right wing below Montse Tome. Whether the Spanish boss will decide to switch things, it remains to be seen, but Caldentey will undoubtedly create problems no matter what she has struggled.
If it really goes to the right, it will probably be English Niamh Charles who is in charge of being silent. AND Chelsea Defender missed international camps before Christmas for injury, but she has now returned and played for 90 minutes against Portugal on Friday.
Sarina Wiegman could switch things up and start Jess Carter, but Charles are likely to be an English start to the left back on euros and will have to be tested against the best opposition, as he regularly works for Chelsea in The The WSL and Champions League.
Caldentey scored 11 goals for Arsenal In all competitions, mostly while playing in the central role. The 28-year-old has a pace and strength to defeat and reject opponents, which means that English left-back could be a long night.
If England wants to make a number in Spain on Wednesday, it is crucial to win in the middle of the battle. Visitors are a little weaker in the area of the terrain, with some notable absences, including Patri Guijarro, who was placed on the side of the thigh injury.
Accordingly, England is also without any of its own stars, Georgia Stanway, who is likely to miss euros this summer due to knee injury. Both countries still have foci in Keiri Walsh and Aitana Bonmati, but it will probably be Grace Clinton in charge of matching the double winner of the Balloon d’Or.
Fluity in the formations and positions from the game to the game makes it difficult to predict who will start where, but if Clinton is given Kim, it will undoubtedly be her biggest test so far. AND Manchester United Star had a strong first half against Portugal, but was exposed to equalize the hosts in the second half.
Any lag in concentration to Spain’s midfielder could be expected expensive, especially because Bonmatí seemingly dominates the games with ease and dictates the tempo. Her close control can sometimes make a press resistant, and the intelligence for the game makes it a nightmare to mark.
This is often rotated by its partnership in the central part, and Laia Codina was an unused replacement in the last victory over Belgium last week. Is that decision made with the eye on Wednesday remains to be seen.
From the perspective of England, much of their hope rests on the shoulders of Alessia Russo. The attacker was on the leaflets in the draw against Portugal and will no doubt be determined to make a statement against Spain.
Colin is perhaps a solid choice to start at Wembley, since it opposes Russo at training for Arsenal Week in, Week Out. Knowing between the two players could create an interesting battle, one that could ultimately decide the game.
England has other goals threats, including Chelsea’s Lauren James if she is given to her for the second game in a row. But one cannot deny the increasing importance of Russo on the team, and the fact that most of Nada Lionaa rests on her ability to put the ball in the back of the net.
Wiegman could contact Nikiti Parris from the bench, which is in a fine goalkeeper for Brighton this season. However, the initial place is not for a discussion, and Russian will ask responsibility to merge the coupling of the Spanish Center.
