“I can’t deny this game is more than just another match”

“This is one of the fixtures marked in red in the calendar.” Ángel Villacampa, manager of the women’s first team, will face his former team Atlético de Madrid for the first time on Sunday. The red-and-white coach won two league titles (2016-2017 and 2017-2018) and one Copa de la Reina (2016) with them. On Sunday at 12pm, the current champions of the Primera Iberdrola (having won the last three titles) will welcome the lionesses at Ciudad Deportiva Wanda in Alcalá de Henares.

Villacampa is aware of the challenge the match against the team from Madrid poses, although he also knows that this may be the best moment to face it regarding the impression the team has given in the last two league games. “I can’t deny this game is more than just another match, because it is, not only due to the fact that I was 10 years in that club, but also because they are ahead of us in the standings and we are in our best moment this season.”
