Esther González: "We know this is the most difficult group game"

On playing Japan: "We know it will be the toughest game of the group stage, but that's where we want to be: at that level of challenge. We're looking forward to it and we're ready for it.

On the competition: "We're following the World Cup a lot, because it helps us keep our focus. We know there are a lot of top teams and we respect them. It would be impossible to pick out one as the most difficult. Everyone is going to make things very difficult for us. We will always go out to win.
