Before the European Championships, two duels in the Nations League are waiting for Germany. However, the sporting focus is somewhat into the background these days.
Kim Steinke reports from Bremen
The German national women’s team has just come back together, and the team is already boiling. In the final sprint towards the European Championship, public criticism of national coach Christian Wück suddenly came up. “Not to invite me, one is not to inform me and not even give me a reason,” I just don’t understand, “wrote the long -time full -back Felicitas Rauch on Instagram a few days ago.
Previously, Nicole Anyomi also criticized a clear exchange. Both players referred to a supposed problem in consultation with national coach Wück. In addition to the already demanding task of designing the upheaval in the DFB team, the 51-year-old suddenly sees himself confronted with another construction site.
What happened? After the squad was known for the two games in the Nations League against the Netherlands on Friday (from 8.30 p.m. in the live ticker at T-Online) and against Austria on Tuesday, the two vice-European champions were missing in the German squad. Striker Anyomi was planned, but had to cancel because of knee -up.
In an interview with Watson, she initially complained: “recently there was no concrete and direct exchange.” Wück had last appointed the striker of Eintracht to his squad in October. Left -back Rauch was also not taken into account again and is only ready on call. She wishes “much more transparent communication”.
The player of North Carolina Courage has to line behind Sarai Linder (VfL Wolfsburg) and Franziska Kett (FC Bayern), which Wück planned on the outer positions. He also showed Bayern Service Councilor Carolin Simon the cold shoulder. The 32-year-old celebrated an extremely successful season with the Munich team, won the DFB Cup and the German Championship.
In March she pokered on a nomination: “Of course I still have hope if I continue to perform at Bayern that I may still get my chance and show myself.” To date, a conversation with national coach Wück has been a long time coming. “I have seen him several times in our games in the stands, but we haven’t had a personal exchange yet,” she said. Another missing exchange?

Wück made the statements, made it clear before the duel against the Netherlands in Bremen: “Communication is and remains a very important topic. And if there are irritation, and there were also there, then you have to clarify it.” This was “naturally” that the sensational criticism of his communication style was “already done internally,” he continued.
The 51-year-old had talks with Anyomi and Rauch and cleared the misunderstandings. Not only that: “Of course, we also actively picked up the topic with the team, with the team council. Now calm should stop.
However, the Lena Oberdorf personnel will probably remain a permanent topic until the EM contingent is announced. After her cruciate ligament rupture, the player from FC Bayern is back in the DFB squad last July, but is still without a game practice-for good reason.
While national coach Wück announced that the hopeful wearer was “100 percent operational”, the 23-year-old said in her podcast “Popcorn and Panenka” that she shouldn’t play in the Nations League “. The Munichers confirmed that Oberdorf only trained. Another case of shaky communication by the national coach.
