how is switzerland
Ramona Bachman has been the main character of the attack for Switzerland. After all, she has the most shots and assists of her national team in this Cup. Thus, she will remain as Ana Crnogorcevic’s strike partner. Alisha Lehman will remain on the bench. But Switzerland’s strength is in defence. Didn’t concede a goal in the group stage and could make life for the Spanish attack hell.
“It’s a great feeling to have qualified. We can be satisfied with many things, and we are. However, now we have to understand that the journey is not over yet and we can go further”, said coach Inka Grings.

The Spanish national team entered the competition with title favorite status. But the offensive ineffectiveness in the last round of the group stage, when they were beaten 4-0 by Japan, turned on the yellow light. Despite the embarrassment, coach Jorge Vilda will keep the creation sector with Bonmatí, Abelleira, Alexia Putellas. At the front, it doesn’t change a comma either: Paralluelo, Caldentey and Hermoso follow. This sextet will try to erase the bad impression of smooth wire that it left against Japan: 78% of ball possession and ten shots against seven of the Japanese. And it still led 4-0.
“It’s normal for us to get angry and angry, nothing went right against Japan. The team was frustrated. But that feeling soon turned into a desire to compete and face the round of 16 with a focus on seeking the classification.”, said Jorge Vilda.
