According to 'Mama-Goal' after the tune-up game: "For us, we are trying to build the team. The way they played together as a team, the transition in the passes, the depth inside, those were the things we were interested in.
"This is why we need a series of friendly matches to really help the girls. Yes, we played a 1-1 draw. It's not a big deal. It's not something to be panicking about. We played with a team that has been in camp and playing competitive games within the past four months, unlike ourselves that just came to camp about two weeks ago."
