It is always very inspiring to follow team sports, especially when they are successful or even when they are not successful. How do you deal with it? And of course, we followed the tournament too. Me too And. There was already pressure on it and they reacted extremely well and distributed it completely across different heads. That’s how it seemed to me. Of course with, with, with tennis, where you take the lead a little bit, take over the rhythm and also the responsibility. So especially when I see that shortly before the end it was really tight again and staying cool is very remarkable.
When we became world champions, I think we came tenth at the World Cup. At the end of the day there are always ups and downs. It’s all about how you get back. And I think they have very, very talented players and a very good coach. And the culture is good. So at the end of the day, if things go bad, they go bad. But you just have to keep training hard and then come back better. But you don’t just define things by winning or losing. I think, of course, they all tear it up and I think that should be appreciated. I think they don’t want to lose on purpose and at the end of the day sport. That can go the way. And at the end of the day I wish them all the best and I know they will definitely come back.
