Germany’s offensive pressing roll overruns Denmark at the start of the EM 2022. One player in particular draws attention to herself. The individual criticism.
National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg had “nothing to complain about”. The German team defeated Denmark 4-0 (1-0) in the first group game of the European Championship on Friday evening. In front of 15,746 spectators at the Brentford Community Stadium in London, Lina Magull (21st minute) and Lea Schüller (57th) from FC Bayern Munich and the two Wolfsburg players Lena Lattwein (78th) and Alexandra Popp (86th) scored against the European Championship runners-up from 2017.
“We played an outstanding game. We were incredibly dominant, aggressive. The relief is of course great. It’s a good basis. A great starting position, but nothing has been won yet,” emphasized Voss-Tecklenburg after the final whistle.
This means that the record European champions can go into the second group game on Tuesday against title candidate Spain with a lot of self-confidence. Three years after losing to Sweden in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the DFB selection made a successful comeback on the international stage. Also because an actor caught an outstanding evening.
