That's what the press thought after the women's national team lost 6-0 to Canada

“Tonight we face the current Olympic gold medalists, a team that takes us nearly 100 places in the world rankings,” Tego Sports' Jerry Quijada said of the 6-0 result. “The result cannot erase the focus of the group; but I think it was It could be smaller, with a more conservative theme, which exposes the girls less.

Meanwhile, journalist Odair Areola reported on the networks: “It was in the script, as Albert Roca said. The failures in front of the top ten in the world were revealed and improved. There was nothing left.”

For his part, Carsten Rivas, from Fanáticos+, said: “For me, it hurts but I liked the character and attitude of the women’s team.”

Journalist Franklin Ponce, from Diario El Salvador, wrote: “The women of #Selecta lost 0-6 to #Canada, which is in the ‘top ten’ in the world. It is not a blow to reality. Defeats are also part of growth.” There is a lot to correct “But there are also things that need to be saved to improve.”

Angel Alvarado, a radio journalist, analyzed: “You don't have to kill the team. What happened today was learning. So, keep calm. Okay? Now, every result has its proper measure. Especially today. We knew who was in front, we understood the complexity of “The match. The result is not disproportionate. This match will be a learning experience for the team. But it must also be a goal, to play against these kind of opponents more often, big competitions and this will raise the level in the long term.”

He continued: “The team has gone through periods of courage and order, and the changes have increased. Positive lessons/inputs can be drawn from the match… I appreciate the coach's intention. The desire to surprise Canada with a very high block. At first it looked like it could succeed, but nerves and lack of aggression prevented Without it.

“El Salvador lost 6-0 to Canada in both teams' first appearance in the Women's Gold Cup,” Channel 4's Esmeralda Ayala noted. “There's a lot of disparity on the field, and La Selecta in the Pininos demanded the maximum from their opponent.” Big, but they fought to the end.”
