National coach Harold Kreis: "As a member of the association, we decided not to define these roles solely by the number of international matches, but to consider other factors. This led us to the decision to name these four players. In our view, they embody the leadership group in the dressing room and represent both the older group and the younger players in our team. They are therefore ideal links in our dressing room, which was the decisive factor in our decision."

I'm counting on the support of the others in the locker room. We're really looking forward to the World Cup because we're in a good group, and we're going into the tournament with optimism."
