The German footballers made a successful European Championship general rehearsal in Vienna on Tuesday. In the last Nation League group game, the team of national coach Christian Wück Austria hit 6-0 (6-0) and can be optimistic about the European Championship.
Twice Sydney Lohmann (1st, 39th), Lea Schüller (10th), Selina Cerci (26th), Klara Bühl (31st) and Laura Freiang (43.) met for Germany one month before the European Championship in Switzerland (July 2 to 27).
“You have seen how many individual quality is in the team. I think it made a little click.”
“We are satisfied, especially with the consistency in the first half. But we also knew that the change in the second half was lost a bit. But we let it take just five,” said national coach Christian Wück in the ARD interview, who looks very positive at the EM, especially with the 4-0 gala against the Netherlands. “You have seen how much individual quality is in the team. I think it made a little click.”
Gwinn: “The tournament can come”
“We had a lot of fun on the pitch and, especially in the first half, we flared a fireworks that we can be proud of,” said captain Giulia Gwinn. “Now recharge your batteries again, recharge your batteries and then we go to the preparation. Everyone is looking forward to it and then the tournament can come.”
EM squad nomination On June 12th
On June 12th, Wück will nominate his 23-man squad for the euro. The preparation in Herzogenaurach then begins on June 19. The first European Championship game is on July 4 against Poland, other group opponents are Denmark and Sweden.
Lohmann meets after 14 seconds
After the convincing appearance against the Netherlands, Wück changed his team to four positions in the last European Championship hard test, as announced. In addition to the Bundesliga goalkeeper Cerci, Franziska Kett, Freikang and Lohmann moved into the starting eleven.
And Lohmann was not long asked to emphasize her application for an EM ticket. 14 seconds were just played when the Bayern player pressed the ball after CERCI template to 1-0 for Germany. First attack, the first goal: the beginning was made and the DFB women followed five more in the first half against phases overwhelmed.
Individual errors on the defensive
On the offensive, it looked in the first half of the EM tirting, which the Wück-Elf delivered. However, not everything went smoothly. Ann-Katrin Berger and Co. made a few individual mistakes, which the Austrians could not exploit. It could look different at EM level.
After the break and some changes, the events were more balanced. Austria stabilized defensively and Germany was no longer as determined as in the first 45 minutes and fell into administrative mode. The Wück-Elf could no longer change the switch.
At the European Championships, German women will need the level of the first half against Austria and the gala against the Netherlands to be successful.
