VOLOS15: ESP, gran plata ante una potente USA


VOLOS15: ESP, gran plata ante una potente USA

23/08/2015 - Nada se les puede achacar. Han luchado hasta la saciedad y han defendido su estilo hasta la bocina final. No ha podido ser, Estados Unidos ha sido mejor, pero España sigue demostrando el gran trabajo de base que están haciendo técnicos y directivos. 10—13 ha sido el marcador final que deja un nuevo oro para USA y una merecidísima plata para las nuestras, que volverán con la cabeza bien alta.
Precioso primer periodo el que se ha vivido sobre el agua de la piscina de Volos. Demostrado todo su potencial durante todo el recorrido del campeonato por ambos equipos, España y Estados Unidos se han ido alternando en el marcador, respondiendo siempre a cada gol o a cada miniracha que enlazaba un conjunto y otro. Paula Leiton, de precioso reverso, Bea Ortiz y dos goles de una inspirada Marina Cordobés han firmado las cuatro dianas españolas de los primeros ocho minutos (4-4).
Han abierto una pequeña brecha las norteamericanas en el segundo periodo, demostrando el porqué son el equipo menos goleado del torneo tras dejar a España en tan solo un gol en este periodo. Fischer, Brooks y Neushul lograban batir a Ana Sabugal, mientras que solo Irene González conseguía lo propio ante la estadounidense Eichelberger. 5-7 al descanso.
EL CANSANCIO HIZO MELLA TRAS UNA DURÍSIMA COMPETICIÓN
Duro golpe el que nos han asestado las estadounidenses en un tercer cuarto en el que nos ha costado mucho perforar el marco rival (solo Irene González Judith Forca y Paula Leiton lo han logrado). El 2-4 con el que ha saldado Estados Unidos este parcial del encuentro provocaba que España tuviera que afrontar los postreros ocho minutos cuatro goles por detrás. Muy complicado, pero aún factible.
Lamentablemente, las norteamericanas no se han relajado ni un ápice y han salido con la mente puesta en amarrar el marcador y no ceder ante una España algo cansada ya después de una competición durísima. Fischer ponía a USA por primera vez cinco arriba y casi enterraba todas nuestras esperanzas. Aún así, hemos sacado el orgullo y un parcial de 3-1 nos ha dejado tres abajo (10-13). Con este resultado se ha concluido un Mundial en el que España ha vuelto a demostrar que el trabajo de base que se está realizando va por muy buen camino. ¡Enormes!

Baku y Volos confirman nuestro buen momento


Baku y Volos confirman nuestro buen momento

24/08/2015 - El waterpolo español de base pasa desde hace unos años por el mejor momento de su historia. Ya no solo porque enlacemos, por ejemplo, dos platas seguidas en dos Mundiales Júnior femeninos, sino porque hemos sido capaces de acumular tres platas en las últimas tres competiciones internacionales de base a nivel de selecciones. En Bakú logramos el hito de colocar a España en las dos finales, masculina y femenina, en la gran final.



En Volos no hemos hecho sino que corroborar esas buenas sensaciones con otra plata con sabor a trabajo bien hecho. Mérito de clubes, entrenadores, jugadores y directivos, aún nos queda el Mundial Júnior masculino de Almaty, que dará comienzo el próximo 4 de septiembre, para redondear y añadir la guindilla a un ciclo triunfal histórico. ¡Enhorabuena a todos!

VOLOS15: España, en la gran final del Mundial


VOLOS15: España, en la gran final del Mundial

22/08/2015 - La selección española júnior femenina lo ha vuelto a hacer. Volverá a disputar la gran final del Mundial después de que en 2013, en este mismo escenario, lo hiciera frente a Estados Unidos. Las chicas de Xavi Pérez han estado excelsas ante Canadá (9—11) y se han ganado a pulso el luchar por una medalla de oro que sería el colofón a una competición brutal por parte de estas Miniguerreras. Pase lo que pase, para quitarse el sombrero lo que están haciendo.
No ha decepcionado el inicio de esta primera semifinal. Mucho respeto entre ambos conjuntos en el último peldaño antes de luchar por el oro. La del CN Rubí Irene González ha sido la primera en ver puerta a poco de comenzar, pero las canadienses han igualado rápidamente la contienda. Christmas colocaba a las norteamericanas por delante, pero un doblete de Judith Forca hacía que nos marcháramos uno arriba al término de los primeros ocho minutos (2-3).
Se mantenían la igualdad y las defensas aguerridas en el inicio de un segundo periodo que ha vivido un guión parecido al de los primeros ocho minutos. Irene González repetía de precioso y potente tiro lejano para colocar el momentáneo 2-4, pero Wright, de penalti, volvía a poner a uno a las canadienses. Importante la irrupción de Bea Ortiz para, con un sutil remate en parábola, colocar el 3-5 con el que se ha marchado el choque al descanso largo.
OTRO RECITAL DEFENSIVO Y LOS ´PUÑALES´ HACIENDO DAÑO EN ATAQUE
Ha conseguido arremeter las ofensivas canadienses España en un tercer periodo de nuevo lleno de igualdad y de alternativas. Importante con los dos goles de renta que teníamos, por lo menos, mantenerlos para encarar los últimos ocho minutos. Judith Forca ha anotado dos dianas y la capitana Bea Ortiz la ha secundado con un gol más desde zona de boya para rubricar las tres dianas (3-3) de las nuestras en este cuarto.
Tal y como sucediera en los cuartos de final frente a Hungría, España ha logrado igualar los dos últimos periodos tras conseguir una buena renta en los primeros compases del choque. Hoy han vuelto a trabajar y a esforzarse como nunca y en ningún momento hemos tenido la sensación (ni los que mirábamos el partido desde casa ni la nutrida afición española desplazada a Volos) de que peligrara la presencia en la final. Leiton, Cordobés y Ortiz se han encargado de neutralizar las tres dianas canadienses. Mañana (19.00 hora española), la gran final ante Estados Unidos o Rusia.

Las nuestras han cuajado una actuación excelsa y han vencido a la primera clasificada del Grupo B, Hungría, gracias a dos grandes primeros cuartos y a mantener la cabeza fría y defender como jabatas los dos últimos. El 9—12 hace justicia para un equipo que mañana se enfrentará al vencedor del Grecia—Canadá (17.39 hora española) en semis.

La capitana Bea Ortiz estrenaba el casillero español, mientras que Judith Forca, Paula Leiton y Paula Crespi secundaban a la del CN Rubí para rubricar los cuatro tantos con los que España ha saldado el primer periodo (3-4). No se dejaban amedrentar las húngaras, demostrando el porqué finalizaron primeras del Grupo B.
Segundo periodo aún más fructífero para nuestras chicas. que han logrado aumentar la renta hasta los tres goles en estos segundos ocho minutos. El parcial de 0-4, de hecho, ha colocado un marcador provisional de 3-8, maquillado por dos los tantos húngaros de Gurisatti y Mate. El doblete de Irene González y primeros tantos de Judith Forca y Andrea González ponían la firma del casillero español.
OTRA VEZ ENORMES EN DEFENSA
A partir del descanso largo y con el 5-8 en el electrónico, España ha salido a intentar gestionar la ventaja e intentar asestar el golpe a las húngaras. No ha subido el pie del acelerador nuestro combinado nacional, aguantando las embestidas rivales y logrando mantener los tres goles de renta (8-11) de cara al periodo definitivo.

VOLOS 2015: ESP vence a AUS y ya está en cuartos


VOLOS 2015: ESP vence a AUS y ya está en cuartos

20/08/2015 - La selección española junior ha vencido con solvencia (9—11) a Australia en octavos de final del Mundial de Volos y se ha ganado el billete para medirse a Hungría en cuartos (mañana, 15 hora española). Las de Xavi Perez han demostrado madurez y sangre fría en los momentos claves y salvan el primer match ball de la competición ante un combinado potente como el australiano.
Buen arranque de nuestras chicas en este exigente compromiso de octavos de final. Los tantos de Judith Forca e Irene González ponían el momentáneo 0-2. Pero no ha tardado la reacción ‘aussie’, ya que las australianas han respondido con otro 2-0 merced a las dianas de Sogaard-Andersen y Casey. El tanto final, de nuevo, de Irene González ha servido para marcharnos uno arriba (2-3) al término de los primeros ocho minutos.
Misma tónica en el segundo cuarto, con un combinado español que seguía controlando las acometidas australianas (solo ha concedido cuatro tantos en 16 minutos) y que en ataque se encomendaba a una inspirada Paula Crespi (dos de los tres goles españoles en este periodo). Con el 4-6 se llegaba al descanso largo.
Mantenía la cabeza fría el conjunto dirigido por Xavi Perez. El toma y daca de goles beneficiaba sin duda a una España que seguía con el margen de dos-tres goles. Importantísima la diana de Judith Forca casi sobre la bocina con un remate largo y que nos hacía afrontar tres arriba los últimos ocho minutos.
Y han temporizado y administrado perfectamente el resultado nuestras chicas, demostrando madurez y que llegan bien a este tramo final.
FICHA DEL PARTIDO:
Resultado: 9-11
Cuartos: 2-3, 2-3, 3-4 y 2-1

Xavi Pérez: "Australia es un rival muy duro"


20/08/2015 - Finalizada la fase de grupos y después de dispùtar ya tres partidos en el Mundial de Volos, el seleccionador de España Júnior femenina Xavi Pérez ha atendido a los micrófonos de la RFEN para hacer un poco de balance de lo que ha dado de sí hasta ahora la participación de las nuestras, antes del crucial encuentro de esta tarde de octavos de final frente a Australia (18.30 hora española).
"En los dos primeros partidos estuvimos consolidando el sistema táctico contra dos rivales inferiores a nosotros y con dos planteamientos de partido de menos a más. Luego llegó el choque ante Estados Unidos, un buen partido por nuestra parte aunque el resultado no acompañara. Creo que demostramos que podemos tutearle a cualquier selección. Lástima el cruce de octavos de final, en el que tendremos que vernos las caras con el tercer clasificado más fuerte de todos los grupos", analiza el seleccionador, que, evidentemente, tiene confianza ciega en sus jugadoras.
Frente a Estados Unidos, España llegó a ponerse tres arriba en el segundo periodo, pero una mala racha entre el final del segundo y el tercer cuarto dejó muy cuesta arriba la posibilidad de victoria: "Es un partido lleno de expulsiones en ambos bandos, con muchas superioridades e inferioridades, y eso nos cansa mucho a ambos en esta fase del segundo y tercer periodo. Creo que ahí acusamos más el bajón, pero en el tramo final volvemos a remontar y a coger el tono. Lo que estamos viendo es que con el sistema actual las diferencias de tres, cuatro goles no son como antes. Ahora mismo es fácil remontar esta renta y también perderla", asegura Pérez.
ADAPTÁNDOSE A LOS CAMBIOS DE REGLAMENTO
Y es que la obligación por parte del reglamento de poder convocar solo a nueve jugadoras de campo y a dos porteras limita mucho las rotaciones: "El hecho de que estemos jugando cinco más la portera, en vez de seis, con nueve jugadoras de campo solo, afecta muchísimo a las rotaciones. Las chicas van mucho más cansadas y tienen que esforzarse y dosificar mucho más para aguantar toda la competición". Australia, rival en octavos, quedó encuadrada en el ´grupo de la muerte´ junto con Italia, Holanda y Canadá. "Sabíamos que nos tocaría un rival muy fuerte porque cualquiera que nos hubiera tocado de ese grupo habría sido durísimo. Sabemos que será complicado, pero creo que las chicas ya saben lo que es jugar partidos de alto voltaje como estos y están preparados para afrontarlo. Tenemos muchas ganas de que sean las 18.30h y que empieza a rodar el balón".


En caso de vencer, España se mediría en cuartos de final a Hungría, pero de eso ni hablar quiere oir el seleccionador: "Estamos absoluta y únicamente centradas en el partido frente a Australia. No me importa lo que pueda venir después porque eso depende de lo que hagamos esta tarde. Ahí es donde deben estar focalizados todos nuestros pensamientos y esfuerzos".
Las chicas realizarán una sesión de vídeo después de comer, descansarán un poco y una hora antes del partido aterrizarán en la piscina griega para intentar lograr el pase. ¡Mucha fuerza!

Italy, USA, Greece and Hungary are the four teams that grabbed the direct tickets to the quarter finals of the World Women’s Junior Championship in Volos (GRE), after the end of the games in Groups (day 3).

In the most interesting match of Group D, USA achieved a vital win against Spain (17-16). Both teams were spectacular, in a game that USA used the two goalkeepers at the same time, in the last minutes, due to the fact that they didn’t have any players available (all of them have been expelled with 3 fouls).

In a stunning game, Italy beat Canada (11-10), took the first play in Group C and also secured direct ticket to the quarter finals. That was a great game, between two ambitious teams. In the other match of the group Australia beat Netherlands (13-9) and was third.
Canada, who took the second place in Group C will contest Mexico, for a place to the best 8 teams of the competition. Mexico dominated in the game against Ukraine, in Group D, won 11-7 and will fight for participating in the quarter finals.

Netherlands and Ukraine will fight for the places 13-16.

Hungary and Greece won easily Brazil and Japan correspondingly and took the first place in their groups.  Russia was in the second place in Group A, after the emphatic win over Great Britain (22-6).

New Zealand obtained her first victory in the competition against South Africa (9-5) and took the third place in Group B.

Volos 2015: España pierde por la mínima vs USA

19/08/2015 - La selección júnior femenina ha caído este mediodía por la mínima ante Estados Unidos en un partido con un altísimo nivel de exigencia en la tercera jornada del Mundial de Volos (Grecia). Las chicas de Xavi Pérez han realizado un gran esfuerzo y han tenido cerca el triunfo (17—16), pero a la postre han finalizado segundas del Grupo D y se jugarán su presencia en cuartos de final ante Australia, tercera del Grupo C.
Ha cumplido, y con creces, las expectativas uno de los sin duda mejores partidos de esta fase de grupos. Ha empezado con un ritmo vertiginoso y con una Estados Unidos que se adelantaba en el marcador con un parcial de 2-0 a favor. Reaccionaba España igualando la contienda con dianas de Irene González y Judith Forca y, a partir de ese momento, se producía un toma y daca que terminaba beneficiando a las nuestras, que se han plantado al término de los primeros ocho minutos con una ventaja de un gol en el electrónico (5-6).
Peor han ido las cosas en el segundo y tercer cuarto. A pesar del 5-8 inicial con goles de la capitana Bea Ortiz y de Andrea González, un gran parcial de 5-1 de las norteamericanas hacía que se volvieran a poner por delante en el marcador después de bastantes minutos. Con el 10-9 se llegaba al descanso largo tras el gol de Paula Crespi.
A PUNTO EN EL ÚLTIMO CUARTO
Han logrado aumentar la renta en dos goles más las estadounidenses. Fisher, Neushul y Prentice ponían momentáneamente a Estados Unidos cuatro arriba (13-9) y el doblete de Irene González conseguía maquillar y dejar aún con opciones a nuestras chicas de cara a un último periodo de todo o nada (14-11).
Era muy complicado, sobre todo porque España tenía peor goal average y no le valía el empate. A pesar de que Raney respondía al tempranero gol de Bea Ortiz desde dos metros, un parcial de 1-3 con dianas de Andrea González, Marina Cordobés y la propia Bea Ortiz dejaba el electrónico 16-15 con más de dos minutos por jugarse. Lo han intentado hasta la saciedad las nuestras, pero el gol de Neushul cuando quedaban 15 segundos ha enterrado cualquier posibilidad. Bea Ortiz ha dejado el resultado final en 17-16. Mañana (19.00h), Australia dictará sentencia para el pase a cuartos.
FICHA TÉCNICA:
Resultado: 17-16

Hungary and Greece posted solid wins in their final group stage matches. The Hungarian ladies defeated Brazil 11-6 while Greece raced past Japan 8-22. In other results Australia delivered in crunch time keeping their medal hopes alive by topping the Netherlands 13-9 in a match-up for 3rd place in the group.

VOLOS 2015: 2º triunfo (5—30) y mañana, ante USA

VOLOS 2015: 2º triunfo (5—30) y mañana, ante USA

18/08/2015 - Segundo día de competición en la ciudad griega de Volos y segundo y contundente triunfo de la selección española júnior femenina. Esta vez la víctima ha sido México, a la que nuestras chicas le han endosado un 5—30 en un partido muy sólido y que han dominado de principio a fin. Con esta victoria, mañana llega la primera cita de gran exigencia ante una Estados Unidos con la que se jugarán el liderato del Grupo D.
Sigue entonándose la selección española en este inicio de Mundial Júnior de Volos. Las de Xavi Pérez han vuelto a demostrarse a sí misma s y a su gran rival en este Grupo D, Estados Unidos, que están en un buen momento de forma. Primer periodo prácticamente perfecto de las nuestras, que han pasado literalmente por encima de México con un tremendo parcial de 1-11. Judith Forca y Bea Ortiz, con tres tantos cada una, han liderado el apartado goleador.
Tal y como sucediera ante Ucrania, no han levantado el pie del acelerador las chicas, engrosando la diferencia en el marcador hasta los 15 goles de renta al descanso (1-6 parcial del segundo periodo, 2-17 el global). Paula Crespi, Carla Castellà, Marina Cordobés, todas han aportado y han demostrado que quieren dar el máximo para ser importantes para el seleccionador de cara a las citas más exigentes.
LA DEFENSA, CLAVE ANTE ESTADOS UNIDOS
Ha sido el cuarto más igualado el tercero, con un combinado mexicano que ha logrado adelantarse hasta en dos ocasiones merced a los tantos de Paola Vizcarra y Paola Domínguez. Aún así, seguía España controlando los tempos y continuaban con su particular ‘duelo’ personal Judith Forca y Bea Ortiz y se unía a ellas una Irene González que ha logrado tres de los seis tantos de este periodo con sello español.
Han culminado su gran partido nuestras chicas con un último cuarto inmaculado en defensa (0-7). Mañana llega el plato fuerte con el premio de acceder directamente a los cuartos de final en caso de vencer a Estados Unidos, que también navega con paso firme hasta la fecha en Volos. Eso será a las 12 hora española y España tiene ante sí la oportunidad de asestar el primer puñetazo encima de la mesa en este Mundial. ¡Fuerza!

Goal-scoring festivals mark junior worlds opening day

The test rules definitely made their mark on the results of the opening day of the U20 women's world junior championships in Volos, Greece. A lot of goals were on display as the teams of 6 against 6 and just a total of 11 players per side took on one another in the first matches of the 7-day event in Greece. The closest result actually featured a fairly usual amount of goals as the Netherlands overcame an early 5-1 deficit to Italy by fighting back to draw level 9-9 in the end. Japan meanwhile did well against Russia in an absolute scoring festival that saw an incredible total of 43 goals being scored, but the Russian ladies managed to pull off the win: 20-23. In other results Brazil managed to hold off New Zealand 9-16 and Canada got off to a nice start edging Australia 9-12. USA crushed Mexico 28-0 and Greece rolled past Great Britain 4-27. Hungary also enjoyed a comfortable win on opening day beating South Africa 18-3.

VOLOS 2015: España debuta con triunfo vs Ucrania


VOLOS 2015: España debuta con triunfo vs Ucrania

17/08/2015 - La selección nacional júnior femenina ha vencido su primer partido en el Mundial de Volos ante una Ucrania muy inferior. Las ´miniguerreras´ han impuesto su ritmo de partido desde un inicio y ya no levantado el pie del acelerador. Al final, el 8—23 es importante de cara al goal average, pero sobre todo para coger moral ante una semana de gran exigencia tanto física como mental. Mañana, ante México a las 15 hora española.
Comenzaban como un tiro las chicas de Xavi Pérez, que han salido dispuestas a pasar por encima de Ucrania y sacar la máxima renta de goles posibles. Los cuatro primeros tantos españoles han llevado la firma del CN Rubí. Bea Ortiz e Irene González, ambas por partida doble, han sido las autoras. El tanto de Marina Cordobés y la diana del honor ucraniana han dejado el 1-5 con el que se han saldado los primeros ocho minutos.
Misma tónica en el segundo cuarto, con parcial de 0-5 favorable a las nuestras que dejaba el momentáneo 1-10. Dos goles finales de Ucrania, junto con el de Irene González, han hecho que el duelo se marchara al descanso con el marcador de 3-11.
No hemos bajado ni un ápice el ritmo. Las chicas seguían hambrientas y con ganas de continuar abriendo brecha. De esta forma, el 3-7 con el que se ha saldado el tercer periodo era el mejor indicador para ello. Especialmente reseñable en estos ocho minutos la actuación de una Judith Forca (tres goles en el tercer periodo, cinco en total) que ya demostró con la absoluta que no se arruga en las grandes citas. Crespi, Leiton, Marta Mota, Carla Castellà, todas iban sumando.
Ha cerrado el partido España con cinco dianas en el último periodo para dejar el resultado definitivo en 8-23. Primera prueba superada y, además, con nota. Mañana será el turno de México, a priori otro rival asequible antes de que las nuestras se midan a Estados Unidos con la primera plaza en juego.
FICHA DEL PARTIDO:
Resultado: 8-23
Cuartos: 1-5, 2-6, 3-7 y 2-5.
Ucrania: Dvorzhetska, Khodos, Melnychuk, Andrieieva, Telypko, Kovhan, Lenska, Bulakh, Pogorila y Fedutenko.
España: Sabugal, Crespi, Leiton, Castellà, A. González, I. González, Cordobés, Ortiz, Forca, Mota y López.

Volos 2015: España, ante otro gran reto


Volos 2015: España, ante otro gran reto

16/08/2015 - La selección española femenina júnior tiene ante sí otra magnífica oportunidad para volver a demostrar que el waterpolo femenino nacional continúa siendo un referente mundial. Las chicas entrenadas por Xavi Pérez partieron ayer rumbo a la ciudad griega de Volos, donde se disputa una competición que inicialmente tenía que acoger Guadalajara (México). Las nuestras, que han quedado encuadradas en el Grupo D con México, Estados Unidos y Ucrania, debuarán contra esta última mañana (17.20h).
Campeona en 2011 y subcampeona en 2013, España inicia un nuevo ciclo después del triunfal paso de las Anni Espar, Marta Bach, Ru Tarragó, Patri Herrera y compañía. Siempre exigido por el gran nivel y competencia de selecciones como Estados Unidos (último campeón), Holanda, Italia, Canadá o Rusia, nuestro combinado nacional sigue renovándose y sacando nuevos talentos que, tal y como nos reconoció Xavi Pérez hace unos días,"tienen la misma cultura del trabajo, es increible como se vacían y se entregan".
DURÍSIMA COMPETENCIA
No es nada fácil el primer objetivo que se ha marcado el seleccionador, que no es otro que lograr la primera plaza del grupo para acceder directamente a cuartos de final. Para ello, deberán ganar sí o sí a Ucrania y México y librar un durísimo encuentro frente a una de las grandes favoritas, Estados Unidos, el miércoles (13.00h). Cabe recordar las norteamericanas son las vigentes campeonas (tras vencer a España precisamente en la final de 2013) y también ganaron el Mundial Juvenil de Madrid del verano pasado. El combinado estadounidense lidera el ránking de títulos con cuatro campeonatos en su palmarés, seguido de España, Holanda y Canadá con dos. El duelo frente a México será el martes a las 16.00h.
Desde aquí se podrá seguir toda la actualidad de las nuestras, crónicas, fotos y valoraciones. Además, la web volos2015.comtambién nos ofrecerá información detallada de resultados, fichas y clasificaciones. ¡Mucha suerte chicas!

Nuestras júniors, a Grecia con toda la ilusión


Nuestras júniors, a Grecia con toda la ilusión

15/08/2015 - Ha llegado el Día D. La selección júnior femenina ha partido esta misma mañana rumbo Volos (Grecia) para disputar el Mundial de la categoría. España defiende subcampeonato tras lograr la segunda plaza hace dos años precisamente en este mismo escenario. Las chicas de Xavi Pérez viajan concienciadas con hacerlo lo mejor posible y darlo todo para seguir poniendo el nombre de nuestro combinado nacional en lo más alto del panorama waterpolístico internacional. ¡Mucha fuerza!

Xavi Pérez: "ESP siempre aspira a lo más alto"


Xavi Pérez:

14/08/2015 - Será el tercer gran acontecimiento internacional que afronte como entrenador de la selección española júnior femenina. Tras los dos grandes éxitos del Mundial de 2013 en Volos, donde logró la medalla de plata, y del Europeo de Ostia 2014, cuando se alzón con el bronce, Xavi Pérez regresa a Grecia, escenario de su primer gran torneo al mando de las ‘chicas de oro del waterpolo nacional. En Volos, en las mismas instalaciones, se disputará el Mundial femenino Júnior 2015.
“Es difícil hacer pronósticos. De hecho, no me gusta. Hasta que no estemos allí sobre el terreno y notemos las sensaciones será difícil hablar de objetivos a nivel de resultados. Es evidente que España siempre aspira a quedar lo más arriba posible y ese debe ser nuestro propósito”, afirma seguro Xavi Pérez, que ha estado estas últimas semanas trabajando con varios grupos de jugadoras para poder tomar la siempre difícil decisión de qué waterpolistas seleccionar de entre tal número de grandes promesas.
Gran parte de las integrantes del equipo que viajará a territorio heleno ya participó en el Europeo de Ostia del verano pasado, por lo que es un grupo que ha trabajado bastante conjuntamente: “Todas se han esforzado muchísimo en estos días de preparación. Sólo puedo tener palabras de elogio para ellas y la decisión de dar 13 nombres es muy muy complicada. Lo único que nos queda ahora es ir allí y hacer el mejor papel posible”.
Lejos de ser un novato en este tipo de eventos de gran calibre, Xavi sabe lo que es tener la responsabilidad de llevar a España en competiciones del máximo nivel: “Será mi segundo Mundial y estoy muy contento de la oportunidad que se me ha vuelto a dar para llevar a la selección y no puedo estar más satisfecho ya que personalmente esto me enriquece mucho.
España ha quedado encuadrada en el Grupo D con Ucrania, México y Estados Unidos, vigente campeona del Mundo en 2013, cuando venció, precisamente, a España en la gran final (9-7). “Lo que nos hemos planteado hasta ahora es ir partido a partido. Hay dos rivales a los que tenemos que ganar sí o sí, sin desmerecer a nadie, pero sabemos que no queda otra. Luego hay un encuentro el miércoles donde a priori nos jugaremos la primera plaza y eso es lo que queremos lograr para poder acceder directamente a los cuartos de final. Una vez se consiga ese primer objetivo sí que se podrá hacer una valoración más real de nuestras aspiraciones”, añade Pérez.

LA CARRERA HACIA LA MEDALLA, MÁS CARA QUE NUNCA


“Hay que pensar que Estados Unidos viene de ganar el oro en el Mundial Juvenil de Madrid del verano pasado y que muchas de las integrantes de aquel equipo formarán parte de la selección júnior esta vez. Hay que pensar, además, que hay otros combinados como el australiano, el canadiense (finalista del Mundial de Madrid también), el italiano o el ruso que también aspiran a estar en lo más alto, por lo que la competencia será durísima”, nos comenta el seleccionador, buen conocedor del waterpolo de base internacional.
A pesar de su juventud, la mayoría de chicas saben lo que es competir a nivel internacional: “No es algo que trabajemos mucho lo de la presión. Gran parte de las chicas ya compiten con los primeros equipos de sus clubes y han estado en torneos internacionales o preselecciones a nivel nacional. No creo que se deba hacer un trabajo extra con eso. Se lo tienen que tomar como un premio, como un reconocimiento a su buen trabajo. Si están con nosotros es porque lo merecen”.
Xavi ya tuvo la suerte y el lujo de trabajar en 2013 con la que actualmente es ya parte de la columna vertebral de la selección absoluta. Las Anni Espar, Patricia Herrera, Roser Tarragó, etc, lograron la plata en Volos y ya son leyendas vivas del combinado nacional. “Creo que desde la Federación se ha hecho una apuesta muy fuerte por el waterpolo de base y sin duda está dando sus frutos. Aquella generación era magnífica y me siento más que orgulloso de que estén triunfando en la absoluta. Tienen una cultura del trabajo increíble, igual que las promociones que suben. Hay talento, hemos decidido apostar por él y las chicas están respondiendo con creces”.

Girls set for 2015 World Junior Championships

Just the weekend left before the 11th women's world junior championships kick off in Volos, Greece. The Greek federation and local organisers came to the rescue after Mexican city Merida withdrew just over a month before the start of the championships due to a lack of financial support from the government. After a quick set up by the experienced organisers the 20 & under aged women's national teams will fly in today and tomorrow. Although USA is the defending champion, in a more interested fact the American squad also is reigning world youth (18 & under) champion after beating Canada 5-4 in the gold medal final in Madrid, Spain last year. Hungary topped Greece on penalties for the bronze medal during that tournament with a lot of these players expected to take major roles in Volos next week coming in one more year experienced an d grown.

This year's world junior championships for men and women will be played with test rules, imposed by FINA to test a possible change to the game after the 2016 Olympic Games, with the most important change for the women being that each team shall consist of a maximum of 11 players: 9 field players and 2 goalkeepers. Starting line-ups will consist of 6 players including 1 goalkeeper per team.
