DFB draw at the start in Nations League

“The second goal was absolutely deserved, but then we lost a bit of the thread,” said offensive player Laura Freiang in the ARD after the temporal leadership. “A bit bitter, but we’ll take it with us.”

Gwinn: “Must learn to use our momentum”

Wück also struggled that his eleven did not add the 3: 1 after the 2-1, but also critically noticed the weak initial phase: “We didn’t play well for the first 15, 20 minutes.” Giulia Gwinn saw a game with “ups and downs”, the captain added: “We just have to learn to use our momentum.”

The better things initially did the team of Oranje coach Andries Jonker, especially Beerensteyn. The Wolfsburg woman sprinted away from the DFB debutant Rebecca Knaak, after a steep pass through the remarkably open defense, effortlessly and then pushed the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger to 1-0.

Wück over Berger: “Like a lighthouse in defense”

Wück explained that Olympic heroine Berger received the preference in front of her younger rivals Stina Johannes and Sophia Winkler with the “experience of experience”. The 34 -year -old should give the young players security – “like a lighthouse in defense,” said the coach. In the further open race for an EM master square, Berger hardly collected points, in half two she underwent a gross but without consequences in the development game.

Neuling Knaak, again in the DFB squad for over nine years, looked a bit shaky in the initial phase – which was true for the entire German defense around captain Gwinn and deputy Janina Minge.

Not only missed the sophistication and play of play on the sidelines. The players themselves also noticed in the middle of the first half how ideasless they trotted across the square. During an interruption, they formed a circle in which Schüller and Gwinn mainly made announcements.

Afterwards, Laura Freight gave a miserably two good occasions before Schüller, after a soulful cross from Klara Bühl, almost scored 1-1 with the break whistle. Around 350 German fans waved their flags.

Brand elegant on nutken

After the change of sides, the next jubilation scream from the guest block echoed through the stadium. Gwinn used Jule Brand, which fit in the penalty area soulingly. The Chelsea player flatly completed the elegant combination for leadership. And shortly afterwards, Schüller almost increased to Bühl’s flank, but failed with goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar.

In a phase in which the Germans seemed noticeably better in the game, Beerensteyn set the next stitch. She benefited from two position errors of the guests: Sarai Linder and Bühl died on the left defense side who had to take care of the flankener Chasity Grant; In the center, Gwinn had berrynstyns come to the header undisturbed in her back. Berger flew in vain.

Towards the end, it was more of the Dutch who crowded to victory, although Wück in Linda Dallmann, Vivien Endemann, Selina Cerci and Felicitas Rauch relied on four fresh forces.
