DFB-women’s: Fresh Wind

If the 18-year-old world championship debutante Clare Bühl is the “chick”, as she describes herself, then Dzsenifer Marozsan is the mother hen in the DFB women’s team. As the unlikely Pair came together after the DFB press conference on Thursday, got Bühl from Marozsan a soothing Pat on the back. Sometimes press events inspire more respect than the countries in the game itself.

The closer the kick-off of the German team at the women’s world Cup against China moves, the more Marozsan does, although she is only 27 years old, the role of the “age-President”. It radiates peace and Serenity and takes responsibility in a Team in which there are a few new faces.

“I’ll just help them to show on the court, and I’ll do my Best to form a real Team and win,” said Marozsan of the DW in the German training camp in Rennes. “I want to go forward. I hope that the young players look at me and follow me.”

The number “10” in Germany, although no longer captain, a Position she held under former coach Steffi Jones. But even without the binding, she enjoys a lot of respect, especially for the young players such as Klara Buhl: “You can cut off a thick slice of it, how it performs and how quiet it is.”

Model from experience

Although Marozsans time as a Junior player a long time ago, you can always put into good in the younger team colleagues. She well remembers her international debut in the year 2010, at the time, also at the age of 18 years, as she was standing next to two legends of the German game – Birgit Prinz and Inka Grings – against Australia on the place.

“It was hard, because a lot of great players were in the Team, and I was really shy,” recalls Marozsan. “I looked up to them, I wanted to be just like you. But it was also great, so you can improve your game. It helps the young players very much.”

Born in Hungary, but as a German naturalized, has Marozsan experienced a whole lot since you first wore the Germany Jersey. Three years before she was Olympic champion, was one of you also to the Team that in 2013 won the European championship in Sweden.

The success of the attacker at club level are not to be overlooked: With the 1. FFC Frankfurt and Olympique Lyon has won the Champions League trophy a total of four times. After three years in Lyon Marozsans degree of popularity in France, is now almost greater than in Germany.

“It’s cool, because I’ve only been here three years,” said Marozsan. “I’m familiar with in a different country and meet a lot of new people, improved me as a Person. I’m really proud of myself, now I also speak a little French.”

Health issues

The career of the best game-maker came in 2018, but in a scary way. Marozsan suffered a pulmonary embolism, which is caused by a blocked blood vessel in the lungs. You missed three months of the season, meanwhile, was even questionable whether they would ever play football again.

“My whole family was shocked,” says Marozsan. “It was really not a nice Situation. I am glad that I have received a lot of support from my club, from the national team, my family and my teammates. That was really important. Now I’m just happy to be back on the court.”

For a while Marozsan was reluctant and did not want to talk openly about their state of health. You must now be much more careful, watch what you eat and drink, and you have to carry on long travel compression stockings. The entire experience has changed your perspective on life.

“If you are in such a Situation, you realize how important it is to enjoy every day, because it can happen every day, something Bad”, said Marozsan. “So now I’m calm. If I suffer a small injury, I say to myself: There are a lot of worse things. Stay calm and it will go better soon. Now I just enjoy every Moment.”

Marozsans previous highlight of the season was the fourth title in the Champions League, but the summer is not over yet. May Marozsan may lift at the end of the one big trophy that is missing in your collection yet, in front of almost 60,000 Fans in one place you called your home. “Hopefully, we will play in Lyon,” said Marozsan. “This is my dream, so I’m going to work hard for it. I yearn for the title of world champion. To win him, would be fantastic.”
