The Salvadoran women’s team had a painful defeat against Costa Rica, in the second match of the W Gold Cup, at the Shell Energy stadium in Houston, Texas, falling 2-0 against the Costa Rican team, which left it one step away from the imminent elimination of Eric Acuña’s team from the first edition of the regional competition.
La Selecta arrived with their dream intact in search of the goal, getting closer and closer to the quarterfinals, but that illusion was torn away by La Sele, who, supported by Priscila Chinchilla’s double (8′, 49′), until the moment, he was left with square 2 of group C.
Regarding this result, the coach of the national team mentioned: “The truth is, I am uncomfortable with the result, because we continue to score goals on our own, the amateurism continues to take its toll on us, unfortunately. Yes, it feels bad to me, if I look at the numbers and the latest results against Costa Rica, this was the best in history, but it’s not worth it because even though it was the best, it was worth more.”
The strategist assured that a lot of work must be done on the emotional issue, on the professionalization of the female team and hand in hand with filming; play more friendlies, be more official, since the lack of this harms the team.
Acuña also apologized to the fans, because the objective of the team according to the coach is to bring joy to the Salvadoran fans, and also highlighted his emotion for the support they give to the team even outside the country.
“Offer you a job, we can’t offer you anything else, I can’t promise things that are in the air either, sometimes the word work is so repetitive in coaches that people no longer believe, but that’s what remains, keep working and try to fine-tune the team, I do believe that there are certain players who should leave the national team now,” he said.
Optimistically, the coach assured that they will try to find the result against the Paraguay team this Wednesday, in the blue and white’s last match, despite the results against Canada and Costa Rica, and the few opportunities that the team has. to qualify for the quarterfinals between the two best third parties of said round.
Regarding the results against rival teams, the coach said that football is sometimes very “rude,” and they must begin to build a more solid team despite the progress that has been made to date in winning games. important.
Despite the team’s 3 years of building this women’s project, which seeks to stand out among the best teams in the region, Acuña mentioned that the players’ skill and lack of experience is noticeable on the field, but ” People expect more, because they have achieved a lot in a short time”, a team that is not ready for “very important” things, but competes.
