Goalkeeper Freigang of Eintracht holds a firm conviction about claiming the European title.
Football enthusiasts across Europe are eagerly awaiting the European Championship, with the German women's team determined to claim the ultimate prize. 27-year-old striker, Laura Freigang of Eintracht Frankfurt, expressed the team's ambition, stating, "We've got our sights set on the title. It's not about having expectations, we know it's a tough tournament, but we believe we can do it. That's our motivation."
The team, spearheaded by coach Christian Wück, will gather in Herzogenaurach for the final preparations before the tournament kicks off in Switzerland (2-27 July). With the tournament on the horizon, the excitement is palpable for both Freigang and another Eintracht player, Elisa Senn, who will also be part of the squad.
Previously, Carlotta Wamser, Sophia Kleinherne, and Stina Johannes, who played for Frankfurt this year, had also represented the team. The German team will embark on their journey, with their opening match against Poland scheduled for July 4 (9 pm, live on ARD). Denmark (July 8) and Sweden (July 12) compete alongside Germany in Group C.
Following a series of impressive Nations League matches against the Netherlands (4-0) and Austria (6-0), the German women's team heads into the tournament with confidence. Freigang emphasized the importance of these games, stating, "It was crucial for us to have two games where we could consistently perform for 90 minutes, resulting in convincing results without conceding a goal."
The team harbors positive momentum heading into the competition and has gleaned valuable insights during the past few months. Freigang underlined the team's understanding of their requirements, stating, "Now it's about implementing that."
In previous tournaments, key players such as Alexandra Popp, Giulia Gwinn, Ann-Katrin Berger, Lea Schüller, and Selina Cerci have shone brightly for Germany. Although Popp, the team's talisman, was injured in the 2022 tournament and subsequently retired from international football, the remaining quartet has been instrumental in the team's success.
As the European Championship approaches, expect the German women's team to deliver an enthralling campaign, with Freigang, Senn, and their fellow teammates confidently eyeing the ultimate prize.
The team, led by coach Christian Wück, has unequivocally stated their intention to compete in the Champions League, aspiring to represent Germany in European leagues. Aside from the upcoming European Championship, Laura Freigang and Elisa Senn, both from Eintracht Frankfurt, eagerly anticipate contributing to the team's success in various European leagues.
