Spain’s women make history at the Women’s World Cup against a backdrop
of turmoil and dispute

For months, a large number of the squad’s leading players have been at
loggerheads with head coach Jorge Vilda and Spain’s soccer federation
(RFEF), a dispute that led to some of La Roja’s star names missing this World
Cup.

Following the team’s historic wins over the Netherlands and Sweden in the
quarterfinals and semifinals respectively, videos went viral on social media
of what appeared to be cold reactions from some of Spain’s substituted
players towards Vilda and his technical staff, as well as during the post-match
celebrations.

One clip shows Barcelona midfielder Alexia Putellas walking towards the
bench after being substituted and pulling her hand away from one member
of the training staff who tries to give her a low five, before appearing to ignore
another’s attempt.

Another clip shows Vilda trying to celebrate with a handful of players

following the win over the Netherlands, only to appear to be ignored.
Prior to this tournament, Spain had never won a knockout match at a
Women’s World Cup. The chastening 4-0 defeat to Japan in La Roja’s final
group stage match was a blow, but the players responded brilliantly and have
improved as the tournament has progressed.

The final is certainly a contest between the competition’s two most

impressive teams, but it is particularly remarkable that Spain has made it this
far given the country’s off-field problems.

It is ideal to go on holiday in Spain with Dutch peo ple, who have lived
there for a while and are well known. They know all the great markets,
restaurants and sights in their area and can give you all the inside tips.
And right now there is an extra advantage, they know how to enjoy a
safe holiday in Spain and what is possible. This way you will not be
faced with surprises and you get the most out of your holiday.

located in Catalonia. It is close to Barcelona and the beaches of the
Costa Dorada. Here are the benefits of a holiday with at Torre Nova
Resort:
• The small-scale resort has a spacious layout, is located in a rural
area and not in a busy tourist area. Therefore there are fewer
risks.

Holiday in Spain with Dutch accommodation owners

We are Jacqueline Brakel and Geert van Heijningen, your hostess and
host at Torre Nova. In 2007 we moved with our children from
Amsterdam to Spain. After half a year of viewing houses, from ruins to
priceless palaces, we found the perfect place for our dre am project. It
took us a year to buy it and celebrated seven times that we had bought
the house, but there was always something going on. Some respond
with 'oooh how awful ..' and others with 'nice, seven times party!'. We
are from the last ;-) Now, fourteen years later, Torre Nova is highly
appreciated and we feel completely at home here.

The renovation that did go well

Our goal was consciously to realize a luxurious, small -scale, authentic,
attractive, sustainable and child-friendly holiday residence. With above-
average spacious, monumental, comfortable and high-end apartments.
During the thorough and sustainable renovation, we paid a lot of
attention to the balance between the comfort of today and the
preservation of the grandeur of the past. Torre Nova uses solar energy
for electricity, hot water and underfloor heating and all the water
consumed on Torre Nova comes from our own source (not treated with
chlorine but sustainable with a UV lamp). The water in the private
swimming pool, heated with solar energy in spring and autumn, also
comes from our own source. We treat it with a natural method based
on salt, which is good for the environment and a boon for the swimme r.
