German Women's Coach: Japan and Spain Are the World's Best Teams!
Germany's women's national team coach, ahead of a friendly match against Japan, called the Asian opponent one of the two top powers in women's football worldwide.
According to Sport Se, the head coach of the German women's national team praised the high quality of the Asian opponent on the eve of the friendly match against Japan and considered this match a serious test for his team's defense on the way to the World Cup.
Head coach Christian Wouk says that he expects a very difficult game in the preparation game against Japan, which will be held tonight in Bremen, and he considers the Asian opponent to be one of the strongest football teams in the world.
Vuk said in the press conference before the match: "The Japanese national team is considered one of the best teams in the world along with Spain. "They pose a big challenge when you're in the defensive phase and I'm curious to see how they can put that quality performance on the pitch."
Four days after Germany's 4-2 victory over Australia, head coach Mannschaft emphasized that his team will face a completely different opponent this time. Wouk has put his main focus on the team's preparation for next year's World Cup in Brazil and considers it the first goal. He continued: "The level of competition in the World Cup will be completely different from what we have seen so far in European football."
In the Germans' camp, the situation of the goal line has not yet been decided, and it is not clear whether 22-year-old Sangarban Ana Mahmudovich will play in the main lineup again. A player who has been invited to the national team instead of the injured Catherine Berger. In addition to him, Wolfsburg goalkeeper Stina Johannes and Hoffenheim goalkeeper Laura Dyck are also present in the German national team squad.
"For now, I'd rather leave that question unanswered, although eventually someone has to stand in goal," Wouk said with a smile at the end of the selection of goalkeeper Fix.
The men's national team has had bad memories of Japan for years, and the words of the women's head coach Mannschaft show that those bitter memories have also cast a shadow on the minds of the women's national team of this country.
