Olga Carmona acknowledged that the squad's next opponents will be no walkovers, saying "We’re expecting a very strong Belgium, but we know our own strengths. We have to dominate possession and try to minimise the threats they pose." In the same vein, the international stated that controlling possession could be key in tomorrow’s match against the Belgians.

Regarding her good understanding with Esther González, the international asserted that "we understand each other very well and we talk a lot. I always try to find her on the pitch."
