‘Guerreras’ make it significantly harder to reach the quarter-finals

A clear scoreline reflecting the superiority of the Czech team, led by goalkeeper Petra Kudlackova in defense and winger Marketa Jerabkova, who scored 9 goals in attack, completely destroyed the ‘Warriors’.

The Spanish coach, who is aware of the physical superiority of the Czech team, Ambros Martín tried to give maximum momentum to the ‘Guerreras’ game with the presence of an army of ‘juganas’.

In fact, he did not hesitate to sign right-back Mireya González, the Spanish team’s best shooting player, betting that winger Paulina Pérez would have more mobility.

Although the Spanish team could not do any better, claiming that based on sensational footwork they prevented the Czech gunners from gaining throwing distance, but they did not have the same results in attack.

Without a credible threat in the Spanish shot, the only way for the ‘Guerreras’ to score was through connections with centers Lysa Tchaptchet and Kaba Gassama, who were always perfectly controlled by the Czech defenders. The problem, compounded by the Spanish team’s inability to get the ball in a way that would give their wingers an advantage, is the other usual route to the ‘Guerreras’ goal.

Ambros Martín’s men persisted as Spain managed to find a way past the Czech defence. collided with goalkeeper Petra Kudlackova multiple times, who closed out the first stop with ten interceptions.

These attacking deficiencies not only undermined an increasingly confused Spanish team, but also allowed the Czech Republic to unleash their rapid transition game.

If the defensive intensity of players like Maitane Etxeberria or Paula Arcos in static attack had allowed the ‘Guerreras’ to counter the power of the Czech shooters, in open space and in the race the Spanish defense would have been unable to do anything.

It is such a situation Caused Spain to lose by a single goal (9-8) With less than eight minutes left in the first half, they found themselves trailing by five points (13-8) after a 4-0 run.

Summary of what happened at the beginning of the second half ‘Guerreras’ were doomed to irreparable defeat after conceding a partial score of 6-2. The Czech team’s lead increased to eight goals (19-11).

This overwhelming result forced Ambros Martín to risk everything with constant player and defensive changes; including one who took advantage of numerical superiority on the field, which at times sparked hope of a comeback.

In fact, relying on the effectiveness of Paulina Pérez, by far the best player of the Spanish team, the ‘Guerreras’ came within just four goals (19-15) with more than eighteen minutes remaining.

But if Spain While the offense saw some improvement, Ambros Martín’s defense once again revealed numerous holes Not only when it comes to controlling the Czech team’s rapid transitions, but also in the static situation where they cannot control full-back Marketa Jerabkova’s shots.

The artillery that condemned the Spanish team to a hard-fought defeat (30-22) that would force the executioners to beat the Netherlands in the 2019 World Cup final in Japan next Sunday and count their match in the tournament as a win.
