“With a new barrier to overcome in front of us”

Athletic Club Ladies team will face Rayo Vallecano tomorrow at home, in San Mames. It will be the 10th round at Primera Iberdrola, a championship that returns after two weeks of standstill. The red and white coach Ángel Villacampa, highlighted today in Lezama that these two weeks of stoppage has helped Erika Vázquez, head of the team, to get recovered and pointed out that the team is “very eager to compete“.

Rayo Vallecano has not been beaten at home this season, which means that tomorrow’s clash is going to be difficult. According to Villacampa, “it’s another challenge and another barrier to overcome. It’s a team we’re not particularly good at. They are undefeated at home, with 14 points and is a team with a solid block. They got a draw against FC Barcelona and beat Levante 1-0, which gives us some clues”

Regarding the way to face the match, the coach has acknowledged that “we have to be very focused. The result will depend a lot on the version we can offer”.

He also referred to the convention of women’s football, describing it as “very positive. You have to do things well and in the First Division you have to meet a minimum of requirements. That’s the way to go. What is not normal is that there are players who after ten years retire and have not paid and made any social contributions. You have to take firm steps forward, not backward”
