Voices about the game
U18 national coach Franziska Busch: “Today we struggled to get into the game. The Czechs put pressure on us from the start, which we had big problems with. But the team never gave up and continued to fight to find our game, which we succeeded in the end. That's why we're going into the day off with positive impressions and then into the game against Slovakia. We will be 100% ready and prepared!”
Captain Annabella Sterzik about the Czechs' greatest strength: “Basically, I would say it was noticeable that they were very well-coordinated with each other and had different tactical variations of moves ready.”
