Training: "We are faithful to our style and practice the same things in our sessions to be effective both defensively and offensively."

Competition: "In this type of competition, the emotional factor always plays a role. Desire and determination are essential."

Netherlands: "They are a team with great verticality, and their diamond formation can pose challenges for us. We are working to counteract it and present the best version of Spain."

Solidarity: "I feel good, I feel like a football player, and I believe that anyone can play here. We all support each other because we are a team and we help each other a lot."

Goalkeepers: "Their level has evolved a lot, and I'm sure they will keep getting better."

Captaincy: "I found out at the moment that I was going to wear the armband. For me, it's something anecdotal because each player brings her veteran presence."

Situations: "We will try to avoid going to a penalty shootout. If it happens, those who have the most confidence will take the shots."

World Cup: "Some results have been surprising. Any team can shatter this dream, and we know that you can't let your guard down at any moment."
