The defeat in the world Cup quarter-final against Sweden is not unfortunate. Nevertheless, says Stefan Nestler, earned the young German Team with respect and patience so that it can develop in peace.
You could see the national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, the great tension during the game and the disappointment afterwards. During the 90 minutes in Rennes, she observed, often with verkniffenem face the action on the pitch. With a stony face she went running after it across the lawn and tried somehow to comfort their players.
The were presented to all in the DFB-Tross for sure quite different. Finally, the German Team with the supposed psychological advantage was gone in the game, that opponents Sweden to win had for 24 years at major tournaments against Germany. However, from a mental Plus Team was felt in the DFB-up to the successful initial phase of little. Later, it tipped more into the Minus. The Swedes brims with self-confidence and earned a chance to play the 2:1 success in the world Cup quarter-finals, honestly. They won most of the battles and were torgefährlicher.
Football, you can’t order the fairy-tale

So it wasn’t a unfortunate defeat of the German team, but one that showed that, prior to Voss-Tecklenburg is still a lot of work. For the first Time, their young team was in this tournament, and you could feel it, this new Situation has paralysed some of the less experienced players outright. Especially the defense in front of goalkeeper Almuth Schult wobbled questionable. Of course, it would have been a great story if the break when Dzsenifer Maroszan changed her Comeback to her toes break in the world Cup opening game against China would be to become a match-winnerin. However, football, you can’t order for fairytales.
Great Potential
Unlike the shameful losses in the preliminary rounds of the men’s national team at the 2018 world Cup in Russia, the German football and the national coach absolutely no charge. Quite to the contrary. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is just a good half a year on your Post. Before the world Cup Start, she had games of only four countries to give the DFB-Team their game idea.
Strong world Cup debut: Lena Oberndorf
Bravely, she was also very young, internationally inexperienced players the Chance to prove himself at a major tournament. And many took advantage of it. As examples, the 17-year-old Lena’s upper village, called the 18-year-old Klara Buhl and the 19-year-old Giulia Gwinn, hinting at their great Potential and more than just be.
The team reached despite the early loss of playmaker Dzsenifer Maroszan in the quarter-finals, is an achievement that should not be spoken after the bitter K. o. small. However, the fact that the defense remained up to the game against Sweden without a counter hit, transfigured, from the fact that the Defensive was already quite vulnerable. In contrast to the previous opponents the Swedes took advantage of the inside this ice cold.
We still have a long goal
It was a drum. In every process, and in such a the German women Team – there are even setbacks. It is important to draw from the Failure of the right conclusions. The world Cup has shown that Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is on the right track, but still not on target. You should give her the necessary time, this promising team develop. Even if the quarter-final at the same time of the Olympics starting in 2020 in Tokyo was playful – there will be more opportunities to prove himself at the highest level. So, head high!
