Glasner: Both teams deserved in the final
For Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner, “the two best teams of this European Championship deserve to be in the final” in Germany and England. The 47-year-old has great respect for the performance that the women show: “Women’s football has developed enormously and is technically at the very highest level. Also in the tactical area, how the spaces are narrowed and you work against the ball.” Christian Streich from SC Freiburg is also certain: “There’s really quality, that’s really good football.”
“It won’t be easy against the hosts England, but I’m confident,” said Domenico Tedesco, who will contest the Supercup against record champions Bayern Munich with cup winner RB Leipzig on Saturday (8:30 p.m. / Sat.1 and Sky).
Baumgart believes in titles
Even before kick-off, many are raving about the atmosphere that will prevail at Wembley Stadium. The DFB team now has “an amazing experience ahead of 90,000 fans in Wembley,” said Hoffenheim coach André Breitenreiter: “It’s a very special game and will release a lot of emotions.”
Cologne’s coach Steffen Baumgart was also a fan of the German women. “The team is doing a great job. They’ve improved from game to game. That’s why I think they can still top it,” said Baumgart on Thursday: “Now it’s about knocking everything out again in the final. I trust a lot to them, and that’s why it’s nice to look at.”
