U18 women’s national coach Sebastian Jones: "The first international matches of the season are something special not only for the players, but also for the coaching team. Before the tournament starts in Austria, we will complete two training sessions in Füssen, where we can go into various small details and work even more closely on our principles. This will certainly benefit us in the tournament. We want to use the international matches to develop our own daily routines and schedules. It will also be interesting to see how the team will perform under competitive conditions. From these findings, we can then draw our conclusions for the upcoming measures."
