translated from Spanish: María José Urrutia: “We have to win yes or yes the matches that we have left”

María José Urrutia, forward of the Chilean women’s national team, referred to the debut in the Olympic Games against Great Britain, and what will be the next matches against Canada and Japan.On the premiere against the British, the attacker said that “we did not make a bad game against a team that is sixth in the world, but obviously we have to clean up the good.” There is a lot to improve, if we want to aspire to qualify for the second phase we have to win yes or yes the games we have left and that’s what we are in, focused on that,” he added. In the same vein, the forward pointed out that “it is two days that we have to prepare for that match (Canada), we have to leave behind the match that happened. Learn from mistakes and move on.” María José reiterated that “we are very focused. We didn’t play a bad game, there’s a lot to improve, but physically I think we held up very well.” They (British) started to make time from the first goal, so I think in a way they had respect for us and now we are going with everything to take the three points in the two games we have left,” he added. Regarding her analysis of the match played on Wednesday, the player explained that “it was one more game of sacrifice, I had to play more like a midfielder in the second half. But I’ve always told him, I’m going to give 1,000% where the teacher needs me.” In this sense, he maintained that “we have to take advantage now, see well how the Canadians, the Japanese, play to create a more direct attack, with more possession and that we can score.” Finally, he addressed the emotional side of the debut in the tournament, stating that “I always get excited, we express it in different ways all, but to be there, to sing the anthem in an Olympic Games, is something indescribable, a dream that every athlete wants. We are here living a dream, enjoying it and giving our best.” It should be remembered that Chile will face Canada next Saturday from 03:30 hours of our country, in its second match of group E of the Olympic event.
