Soccer - Schult sees Hrubesch's handwriting on the German women's team
For former national goalkeeper and Olympic champion Almuth Schult, the signature of interim national coach Horst Hrubesch is clearly recognizable in the German women's national team. "The team had clarity and determination in their play," said the 32-year-old after the DFB team's 3-0 win over Denmark in the Nations League match in Rostock on Friday.
Schult, who took part in a media event in Hamburg on Saturday to mark the European Championship group stage draw, added: "Previously, people were saying that they weren't creating that many goalscoring chances and that they'd be skirmishing around at the back. Yesterday, the message was very clear: go for the goals and be consistent in defense at the back. It was an all-round successful game and a successful evening."
The TV expert's "optimism has increased" that the German women will still qualify for next year's Olympic Games in Paris. The next necessary step is a win in the away game in Wales on Tuesday (19:30/ARD live stream). Despite the 5:1 victory in the first leg, Schult warns against underestimating the Welsh women.
