The German men’s national team encouraged the DFB soccer players for the European Championship final on Sunday (6 p.m. / ARD and DAZN) in London against England.
“You still have to take one last big step and we are sure you will take it,” said one letter published by the German Football Association to the team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg and captain Alexandra Popp. In it, “your boys from the other team” express their pride in making it to the final and their performances at the European Championship so far.
“That’s why you are role models,” it said in the letter – also with a view to the commitment and team spirit shown. “It’s just fun to see you as a team and your games. Sunday is the day. You can be sure that we’re rooting for you,” wrote the selection of national coach Hansi Flick and wished: “We want to see you dance again .”
Flick will travel to London for the final. On Saturday evening, on the sidelines of the Supercup game between RB Leipzig and FC Bayern Munich, he said he was “totally enthusiastic” about the performances of his colleague Voss-Tecklenburg’s team. “You can tell they are full of passion and embody great team spirit,” said Flick.
