The Belgian Cats will return with a new medal and can succeed, if it is golden color, which only Spain (2017-2019) and the USSR (titled from 1950 to 1956 and from 1960 to 1991) have succeeded, namely to keep its trophy. Beaten two years ago in Ljubljana in the final of Euro 2023 and released in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympic Games by the Belgians, Spain wants its revenge against “A very complicated Belgian team to play. It’s a team that plays well together“analyzed Miguel Mendezthe Spanish coach, after the last training of his players on Saturday evening at Piraeus.
With Emma Meesseman May Miguel Mendez know by heart after having coached him in Ekaterinburg, “She has in her ranks perhaps the best player in the world. There are other very good players next to them that Emma makes even better“, Praised the Galician, who took over the Fenerbahce team from Emma Meesseman and Julie German For the play-offs last season and who will continue his work in Istanbul at the start of the school year.
Spain, four times European champion, wants to recover its gold and has only one objective to Piraeus, bringing a 5th title after a few more difficult years. “”We always learn defeats and victories. I remember Spain a few years ago when she triumphed that of our players did not often win in club, but who once in the jersey of the national team gave three times more than what they had. And I think Belgium is a bit in this position. On our side, we are for the moment very good, maybe even higher than our own level. We will see if we can maintain it again one more day. I asked the players of ambition, beyond that of being assured of a medal. I asked them to transform the nerve impulse, tension, anxiety, the threat of a defeat in something positive to get gold.“
Spain is in full confidence after its victory against France in the semi-finals on Friday and its group also joined forces around its young player Also Martinvictim of an infectious colitis since the start of the week, but who was able to leave the hospital and see his teammates on Saturday.
