[Sport] Campos and Arderius, 'capitals' in the first line of the 'Warriors'

[#Steeven.™]

It is not being the European of the 'Warriors', but there is always something positive to get when things do not turn out in a great championship. One of them, although it has not been a constant, is the connection of the only two players from Madrid on the Spanish team: Carmen Campos and Silvia Arderius. The first, raised and trained at the Villaverde Base. The second, catapulted into the BM. Alcobendas. Two mythical handball clubs in Madrid, where the quarry is its main value.

Against France, both were two of the great culprits in the reaction in the second half of the national team in the attempt to come back against the current European champions. Her verticality was essential to open the defense as compact and physical as that of the French team. Sharing minutes on the court and making exchanges in the positions of the first row, they opened the 'can' that the French defensive system is assuming, finding spaces with their one on one or giving assists to the pivot by dragging several rival defenders.

Denmark presented another tough nut to crack, also with a defense with an imposing physique in its central zone. After trying numerous options in the face of constant inaccuracies in the positional attack, Carlos Viver once again gave the alternative to the Madrid couple in the final stretch of the first half. But the fast-paced and stirring game both provided did not have the desired effect, committing several consecutive turnovers and resulting in dizzying counters from the fast Danish players.

The coach kept looking for a solution in the front line of the Spanish attack in the second half. And a small mirage for a few minutes found them again with Carmen Campos and Silvia Arderius on the court, one as a left or right back and the other as a central, forming a triplet in the positional attack with Alicia Fernández, the latter the most successful of face to goal. Three players who have one of their best qualities in their direct play, thanks to their good skills when it comes to feinting or penetrating through the slightest gap in rival defenses.

The Danish defenders had to tilt to avoid granting spaces, sometimes going to the help of another colleague to try to stop the trio of Spanish 'kamikazes'. Precisely, this caused other 'Warriors' to remain somewhat uncovered, finding the holes to move without the ball and receive the ball without such an iron mark. And if not, ask Ainhoa Hernández, who had to deal with a titanic fight in the six meters against the Danes throughout the match. Attracting even and odd with penetrations or fixations, sporadically generated holes in the defense of Denmark.

 

A Madrid duo
Departures from rival clubs in the Community of Madrid, despite the five years that are distant from each other, Carmen Campos and Silvia Arderius, two of the best players in the French and Spanish League, seem to have found their best partner in the attack of positional selection. The two with the goal between eyebrows and without qualms to hit any defense, no matter how much their physique is inferior. Thus a 'capital' duo was born for the 'Warriors'.
