Cristina Cosentino, one of the figures before India

Cristina China Cosentino, with shirt number 13 on the back, became one of the best players in the game against India this Wednesday, June 18. The lionesses tied 2 to 2, and in the Shootouts the China put on the superheroin suit and got the bonus point for Argentina.

Of the four Australian penalties who threw themselves by side, India could not convert even one, all thanks to the Argentine arch. Brisa Bruggesser and Sofia Cairó scored for the national team, getting the victory 2 to 0. Among the great stops of the goalkeeper, there was also the liveliness of asking for a videoref that ended up being key. The referee had sanctioned penalty, and Cosentino did not hesitate to use the tool, which ended in the decision that it is exit by an infraction they had made to China. “I didn’t lose anything asking for it. I felt a thrust and decided to play it. As long as we had it, you have to take advantage of it, using it intelligently,” said.

On Saturday and Sunday they face a strong rival, China. In Berlin they will play against the team commanded by the Olympic medalist Alyson Annan (Australian), where there are too many things at stake. “We are going to look for them anyway. Playing well or playing bad He added. In addition, the lionesses reach the next two games such as the team with less goals against, and although it is a job of the entire team it is also a mood plus for the Argentine player, since whenever it is needed it responds in good way. “We don’t have to get ahead of anything, we have to think about what is coming. Against China they will be hard games, and although fatigue will feel, we do not have to let ourselves be influenced by that. The games work a lot from the mental and emotional.” He also added that they are calm because there is a lot of replacement and ‘plenty of leftover’, referring to the variety of players who bring quality to the team.

Argentina has only two games of this Pro League season, an edition that has the Netherlands and Belgium already classified to the World Cup for being hosts, therefore a free quota remains, which will be defined between China and Argentina. The lionesses need two points to ensure the place in the next World Cupbut if you do not get it in this tournament, you have the possibility in the Copa América, which will be played at the end of July, in Montevideo, Uruguay.

This Saturday 21 at 9hs and Sunday 22 at 11:30 a.m., by AM850 2 and Disney+ Premium, the Lionesses face China, from Berlin, Germany.
