National coach Christian Wück assures rather credible that his first tournament with the German footballers can hardly wait. At the European Championship from July 2 to 27 in Switzerland, the public burning glass is aimed at coach and team. The 45th DFB Cup final between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen served as an impressive evidence on the day of work that the interested audience is growing steadily in the women’s football. The Cologne stadium, which has been sold out for the third time, offered the most atmospheric ambience to date since the women’s final was held as a separate event from 2010.

No event publish
Bremen’s coach Thomas Horsch even said after the 2: 4 defeat against FC Bayern that no event audience was no longer in the stands or were more and more followers, the rituals from the men. Pyrotechnics included. He thinks the women on the right track. His Munich colleague Alexander Straus was not only in a good mood because of the great backdrop: With angler hat on his head and beer bottle in the hand, the Norwegian chatted about how much ballast from him did-and how difficult it was to always withstand expectations with the FCB logo.
Wück still has all the matriculation exams. His half -time interview in the ARD came to the contrast program of the good mood. On the one hand, there is the public tug of war on participating in the European Championships of the Lena Oberdorf, which is still in development training. Since Germany’s best footballer tore off the cruciate ligament last July, FC Bayern star shopping has not played a single game. Stand now, said the Munich director Bianca Rech, the 23-year-old could not deny a European Championship with the DFB team because they don’t even hold a team training fully.
Bavarian solo
Sounds understandable, on the one hand. On the other hand, Christian Wück replied that it was still a while against Poland until the first European Championship game on July 4th. “It would be negligent if we were already closing the door. Eight weeks in a rehabilitation phase can make up a lot. ”In this context, the 51-year-old recalled the U17 World Cup 2023, when he had waited until the end of Amulgera Kabar for a syndesmosis band tear that was then perfect for the German youngsters in the penalty shootout against France.
But the 51-year-old national coach also knows: The decision in the “Obi” cause will not make, the ball lies with the player and the club. And in particular, the double winner from Munich is happy to put his own interests ahead, as in the ridiculous dispute before the 2023 World Cup in Australia. Even now there is a Bavarian solo: After the end of the last match day in the Bundesliga in a week from 21 to 23 May, the Doubles winners take part in the World Sevens Football Kleinfeldurnier in Estoril – a short game format in seven, for which the organizer lured eight international top teams with a lot of money. “I’m not happy about it,” admitted Wück. He could also say: This is gross nonsense for the German internationals, who are probably released whether they want to kick there. Wück can only hope that Giulia Gwinn, Klara Bühl and Lea Schüller will do without, because the duels in the Nations League on May 30th against the Netherlands and four days later against Austria are the last tough tests in front of the European Championship.
Brief preparation
It is astonishing that the national coach will only gather his European Championship squad in a training camp in Herzogenaurach on June 19. Damn little time when the scaffolding doesn’t even stand. Actually, there is enough time in the schedule for an extensive preparation of how they operate Switzerland and other nations. But the association and clubs have decided on a different way so that the athletes can also switch off. The truth is that the best German soccer players this spring – also due to the early end of the Champions League of Bavaria and VfL Wolfsburg – played too little than too much.
