It was a possible day to fail

You could fail in Valencia. And we do not mean that it was allowed, but that it was probable. Between UWCL matches, with planes in between and a good rival in front.

We should understand professional sport: Real Madrid is already an enemy to beat. It is a rival that, if you beat, your actions and values ​​go up. Making the Real have a bad day... is cool. And Levante, moreover, is a historic women's football team in Spain. They weren't just any usual team. And the Ciudad de Valencia opened for the match. And while we traveled through Europe, going to Albania back and forth... they prepared the match with patience. And Levante has left half of our squad, also an opportunity to vindicate themselves. the granotas that will play. Everything was a cocktail... it was a possible day to fail.

And that's why we have to respect, and a lot, what Barcelona has done these couple of years. Do not give up a single point in the league. Because even if you are superior... there are games that you fail. That the ball does not enter you, that the rival marks you from a set piece, that you are not there mentally because you are between more important duels (Madrid has PSG just around the corner). You have to be superior in quality. But also mentally. And as a collective.

In fact, if there is something that worries me about this bad morning in Valencia, it is precisely to check that the team... is still missing things. We don't quite believe it. We miss Weir and fall. But it's not just a player thing: we still don't believe what the shield we wear on our chest is and what it demands. I think there may still be some options in the league, because this year's Barça, without Putellas, can be made to suffer. But it is essential not to leave points on days like today.

Playing during the week and at the weekend, and between trips, is not easy: but this is the highest requirement. You have to be better in everything, also in the head. Honor to Nahikari, who not only scored a great goal but also took the ball immediately, because she knows (she's a Real Madrid supporter since a child) that Madrid's minutes were coming. Oroz should also be highlighted, who continues to leave good details, assists and golden minutes.

In fact, the final madridista miracle was about to happen. A counterattack in added time that could have been lethal, but we missed the last pass. And a later corner that, for centimeters of people like Kathellen or Möller, we should take advantage of much more.

One last thing before leaving Nahikari's goal... we can't have any players left. And Toril seems to have a couple pinpointed, at least. We'll see between now and the end of the year, because the demand doesn't drop... and this weekend you could get a puncture, but it would be good to stop doing it.
