Spain, the favorites to win this year's Women's World Cup, will be looking to open their season against Costa Rica.
From a technical point of view, Spain is undoubtedly one of the top teams in the world, specializing in short passes and excellent ball control, which makes their opponents defenseless.
It is worth mentioning that Petenas, who missed last year's Eredivisie final week due to injury, has returned as a king, and the comeback of this world-class midfielder will undoubtedly boost the team's strength significantly.
In addition, there is another player who should not be ignored - Aitana, who played alongside Péténas in Barcelona, with excellent footwork and wide vision. The tacit cooperation between the two stars may become the key to Spain's victory.
Jennifer Boots Mosu, who also missed the final week of the Europa League last year due to an injury, has also returned to the field, and her return will add a huge threat to Spain's offense, which seems to be a firepower that should not be underestimated.
Against a strong Spain, Costa Rica will have to maintain tactical discipline in an attempt to tire out their opponents. They will need to distribute their physical strength wisely and choose the right moments to put pressure on Spain, while judging carefully when to retreat in order to ensure a solid defense.
