Almuth Schult would trust the team in the European Championship semi-final against Spain, which has fought out the progress against France. Means: Schüller and Wamser are initially on the DFB women’s bench.
It is clear to ARD expert Almuth Schult: The German players who fought brilliantly in the quarterfinals against France are also set in the semi-finals against Spain on Wednesday (from 8:15 p.m., live in the first and in the live stream at Sportschau.de).
Before Ann-Katrin Berger In the gate this means: Franziska Kett Left in the chain of four, Rebecca Knaak and Janina Minge In central defense and Sophia Kleinhernen On the right – and not Carlotta Wamser, who is operational again after her Red Pan from the Swedish game.
Sjoeke Nüsken and Kathrin Hendrich are missing
“I wouldn’t tear apart the chain of four”says Schult. “Kleinherne just did well. And why should you change a defensive network that worked well together?” Kleinherne had come against France after 20 minutes for Sarai Linder, who has to fit against Spain. Kathrin Hendrich, who was still in the starting eleven in the quarterfinals, but had seen red after a quarter of an hour, is also not available because of her lock.
So Almuth Schult would set up the German national team against Spain.
There is a forced change from the DFB team in the defensive midfield because Sjoeke Nüsken is missing yellow-locked. “I would Sara Däbritz bring in because she has the most experience in such situations “said Schult. “She has a good position game on the defensive six. I can well imagine that you Elisa Sense harmonized. ”
“I can well imagine Dallmann as a focal point, as a celebration and defensive pressing.”
In the offensive midfield, in the Klara Bühl and Jule Brand the former national goalkeeper would Linda Dallmann Setting – her position had fallen victim to France to the defensive orientation of national coach Christian Wück. “I can well imagine Dallmann as a focal point, as a celebration and in the defensive pressing”said Schult.
The 34-year-old would not change at the forefront. Say: Lea Schüller would be on the bench again. “Giovanna Hoffmann has earned another start-up mission. Simply through her paths she made through her commitment. “
Schult: German players will “run until they fall over”
Schult formulated the order to the team as follows: “The Swiss showed in the last game how to annoy the Spaniards: If you are tight and compact, don’t allow much and always on it. “
The victory against France is “A mental pound” for the Germans. “The Spaniards have not yet been in such an exceptional situation. They also know: We can never give up the Germans because they will run until they fall over”says Schult.
