National coach Robin Beckers On the first measure of the new season: "In the recent scouting and tournament nomination, we primarily selected players who impressed us with their playing skills at the scouting clinic and who possess good skills. Overall, many players were able to showcase their abilities during our clinic, and some who are not currently participating will certainly get the chance to showcase their talents internationally during the season. For the first tournament, as always, we want to focus on defensive work and structure and ensure that we escape from pressure situations with good mutual support. The focus should be on the players coming together as a team, as well as the style of play. The individual development of the players is, of course, always important to us."
