DFB women at EM: A hit with Ü-in the first the mentality wins

A few hundred kilometers further northwest, at the tennis tournament in Wimbledon, a spectator was recently caught because he had a champagne corps popped into the silence of the game. In Baseler St. Jakob Park you would certainly have had no problem. To this end, at least in phases, there was much too loud.

In any case, pils and sparkling water are preferred when kicking, apart from this, in the second European Championship group game of the German eleven, the right sparkling wine mood does not yet arise over long distances. Opponent Denmark acted “from a massaged cover” for a long time, and the Danish dynamite was first succeeded in what Germany was denied in the first half – a goal.

It was only too good that the reporting in all trades played a similar flat ball, according to the motto: first look – then see. In the studio, Claus Lufen and Almuth trained some mood. The two are recorded, accordingly calmly and in a goal -oriented their location provisions.

The Germans had sufficient “mentality players” to compensate for Giulia Gwinn’s failure, Schult said, while Luft was limited to keywords and Klara Bühl, this time obviously traveled without knitting, had a few blisters bubble in the Bubble Tea. Of course, the outskirts also went to the edge of the field. Then Lea Wagner had a solidly tagged notification with “shock rigidity” and “now even more and more”, national coach Christian Wück can get out of rest, forgiveness, so quickly anyway.

The same was also true for the commentator of the game, Stephanie Baczyk, who had a grip on the action from the first minute of the game. What a blessing, this almost old -school silence, her discipline, the ball down there, the action itself, just let it run. No comparison with the various steam chats of the club World Cup, which in tandem format clums up around the head and collar in order to still think the last square millimeter of the game has to interpret kitchen psychology.

Not so with the experienced Hanoverian who sets her term from “counterpressing” to “fast ball conquest” as precisely as Günter Netzer once the passports. “A game that is tactically shaped,” she says a bit striking at one point. At the same time, she knows, we know what that actually means: everything runs a little bit down there, vulgo: boring.

However, the fact that Baczy’s heart can catch fire at any time and she has little trouble to cheer the decibel ad in the red area was shown for the first time when Klara Bühl, forgiveness, “Büüüüühl” netted for the first time. The fact that the Var the booth took back in the 18th minute after a long analysis, another blemish, another that the goal of the Danish Vangsgaard eight minutes later was simply too regular even for the sharpest VAR eyes and it was suddenly 1-0 for the Scandinavians.

But there are more players with a “Ü” in the name and they seem made for the comment box: first “Nüüsüskeeen”, then also “Schüüüüüller”, that’s what is going on. At the end of the over nine minutes of stoppage time, the “mentality victory” was under the roof and subject. “Completely detached,” it sounded through the wide round, while Lea Wagner at the federal-wake-another guy with “Ü”-once again terms such as “roller coaster ride” and “Will showed” and Claus Lufen in the studio finally a classic from the time of Schön, Derwall, Vogts & Co. from the moth box: “This is how a tournament team plays.

What he means by that is of course clear. It will be shown in the almost safe quarter -finals whether it is relying on the olle truism. And if things go on, the champagne corks may also pop in the ranks in Switzerland. First of all, however, the next opponent is called Sweden – on Saturday, July 12, at 9 p.m. Of course we are on the ball.
