Transcript

00:00 Ever since Ada's injury, she's been following the medical plan

00:05 and been successful in every step of that plan.

00:10 So we will see her in training today and see how she reacts to that,

00:17 like the last step before the game tomorrow.

00:21 And we prepare for Ada to play or come in.

00:27 So it will be a different scenario.

00:31 We know we have two good number nine targets forward.

00:37 And that's a luxury for me as a coach.

00:42 So we will see who will be available and playing from start tomorrow.

00:47 We will see how they play.

00:50 Obviously against Spain they were attacking, counterattacking.

00:55 I will guess they play a little bit higher on us.

00:58 Maybe the picture will be similar but opposite.

01:03 So we will prepare, play defence and be strong in our defence

01:12 and play to our strength.

01:14 And hopefully we will get the result that we want.
