First game: Spain wakes up with a tumble against Russia
Silvia Navarro
lived through the time when a Spanish team could win the Champions League and now, that none of them are even capable of qualifying for the tournament, there it is, with one stop, and another stop, and another stop.
Up to 15 accumulated this Saturday against Sweden to save Spain in the European.
The national team is dying in the championship, but has not yet delivered thanks to the tie achieved (23-23), a miracle for Navarro, at 41, with more than half his life as an international.
The goalkeeper is the only one who maintains the inertia of last year's World Cup, the only one who believes, the only one who clings to a championship in which the path is already a very steep slope, almost a wall.
To be in the semifinals, the team coached by
Carlos Viver
must beat the Czech Republic this Monday, appear in the second phase with a single point and beat the current European champions, France, the hosts, Denmark and a third team there. to be decided.
It is a finite future, more with the game exhibited, but the players also celebrated it because it could not exist.
With only 10 seconds remaining, Sweden had a penalty to beat and their reference,
Melissa Petrén
, smashed it against the post.
It was an act of justice, because the sanction was rigorous and because neither team deserved to win.
Spain lived off Navarro's saves and
Nerea Pena's
game
- six goals and eight assists - and Petrén's Sweden - eight goals from 19 shots! - and his connection with pivot
Linn Blohm
.
Both teams were uncomfortable in attack and indulged in a series of bad decisions and losses.
The national team missed its World Cup scorer,
Shandy Barbosa
, and its rival its leader in the last decade,
Isabelle Gullden
, the best player in its history, who only played 18 minutes due to physical problems.
