Quotes
“We have faced Morocco many times. They’re a very tough team, they drop back and are very clinical. They defend really well and can surprise you at any moment.”
Irene Cordoba, Spain pivot
“Every match is like a final because anything can happen. Any opponent can challenge you, and that’s what we’re working towards: overcoming those challenges and going as far as possible.”
Cecilia Zarzuela, Spain fixo
“We’ve played against them, we know how they play. They’re obviously a really strong team with really good players, but we’re going to focus on ourselves. When we’re on our game, we believe we can beat anyone. We’ve beaten one European team and we’ll go out to beat another.”
Tahri Hajar, Morocco winger
“Spain are a great team. We have a lot of respect for them. I think we’ve played them five times. They were really difficult games, they beat us. But I can promise you that we are better than the last time we played them. You can do anything if you believe.”
Chaymaa Mourtaji, Morocco pivot
