Last game for Blasse, Schult and Co. in the VfL jersey
The same applies to Anna Blasse from Wolfsburg. After 15 years at VfL, the defender will play her last game on Saturday. The 35-year-old is the only player who was on the pitch in Lower Saxony’s very first cup win in 2013. The opponent back then: Turbine Potsdam.
For Blasse, who will move to Switzerland to live with her wife Lara Dickenmann, things have come full circle. In addition to the defensive specialist, Turid Knaak, Shanice van de Sanden, Lotta Cordes and Almuth Schult also gave up at the Werksclub in the Cologne final. In their final match for the master, they can help make history. Because with the ninth cup success, VfL would draw level with record winners 1. FFC Frankfurt.
“Any record that you can achieve is nice. But first of all it’s about winning a game,” explained Wolfsburg midfielder Svenja Huth: “It’s work every time. Nothing happens.” And her coach Tommy Stroot also knows how difficult the task is: “We will have to invest a lot in order to be able to leave the field as winners in the end.”
The underdog was a little more bold than the cautious favourite. “We have prepared well. We will give everything because we have nothing to lose,” said Agrež.
