Matches in Torrevieja

The Spanish women’s handball team will develop its setup for Europe, where next week’s Spanish International Tournament kicks off in Torrevieja with the dispute kicking off this evening. Jose Ignacio Prades I know They will measure against teams from Tunisia, Egypt and Switzerland.

Three games in which the Warriors will try to strengthen their defensive work, and a quick pass game that took them to the semi-finals of last year’s World Cup played in Spain. “We start from the idea that defensive work is a very important thing, not only because of the difficulties we put on the opponent’s attack, but also because of the possibility of counterattacking and scoring easy goals. We want to give this defensive work one more time,” Prades told EFE.

Again, The Spanish manager is aware that defense and counter attacks alone will not be enough to overcome the first stage of the Europa League.Spain will face Macedonia, Poland and Germany, one of the tournament’s three hosts.

“We face teams that are physically superior to us and we suffer a lot on touch-ups in positional attacks, we have a lot of hits and sometimes it’s very difficult for us to find very simple shooting positions, so we have to find them. It’s a mechanism that ensures we don’t suffer so much in positional attack,” Prades said.

In that sense, the Spanish coach admitted that he “perhaps would have preferred” to face another European opponent in Torrevieja, although he was confident that facing teams with a “different cut” like Tunisia and Egypt would challenge the Warriors. An “adaptation” study that might be “very good” for the European.

“The match against Switzerland will certainly be the closest we will face in the European Championship, but it can be very positive to measure ourselves against teams from another segment that will get us into other kinds of problems. There are opponents that will force us to play differently, and I think adaptation work can be very good. It will be a very good test to test the level of the national team,” Prades explained.

The International Spanish Tournament where the Warriors will face new trio centers consisting of Kaba Gassama and young Lysa TchaptchetAlba Spugnini, who is only 19 years old and will make her debut in a major international competition at the next European Championships.

It was a very complicated decision because we have so many top players in the center, but in the end we sought balance both offensively and defensively and we believe these three players are the best fit for the situation. The game idea we want to develop in Europe” explained Petrerense Prades to EFE.

Lysa Tchaptchet, who played in the Norwegian Vipers Kristiansand team, which was declared European champion together last year, and Alba Spugnini, a member of the Spanish team that won the gold medal in the Mediterranean Games, participated in the Carpathian Tournament last September. An event that left very good feelings for the Spanish team despite the results.

“It is true that the result was not as good as people expected – Spain fell to Romania (25-23) and Serbia (30-28) and beat Austria (32-27) – but it gave us a huge loss. good feeling. It is necessary to read beyond the conclusion and we are calm in that sense, because we have seen very positive things,” he said.

Good feeling that Spain will try to back it up this weekend with three wins against Tunisia, Egypt and Switzerland.This will allow the Warriors to confidently face the European Championship, which begins next week in Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro.
