Wrap up warm in the World Cup camp: national footballers are missing a vortex

On Monday, the national team will hold public practice at Tahuna Park. About 250 students from the Tahuna Normal Intermediate School are present and well prepared. They cheer on the national team with shouts of “Hopp Schwiiz”, and they also keep warm with fitness and dance routines during the hours-long unit in the stands, as the school uniform consists of a T-shirt and shorts – all year Through . After the training, signature requests will also be granted. “They asked a lot of questions,” says Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic. “How old I am, where I play and if I ever met Ronaldo. It was very interesting.” CR7 never met the national record player, but Lionel Messi. After all, both played once at the same time for FC Barcelona.

The weather in Dunedin is better than expected. Ten to twelve degrees and sunshine are very pleasant for training. Despite this, the stars of the national team don’t just wear the official outfitter’s down jacket on the training ground. Because when the wind blows or the sun sets late in the afternoon, the thermometer drops considerably. “It’s quite cold,” says Géraldine Reuteler, but otherwise everything is quite positive. For Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic, only one thing is missing: “A vortex.” There is also no spa for the players in the hotel.

The transfer of national stars before the start of the World Cup continues merrily. Bundesliga side Werder Bremen announced on Monday that they have signed long-term Swiss goalkeeper Livia Peng (21). Graubünden move from Swedish club Häcken to Germany after they failed to assert themselves there. In the second half of the season, Peng played on loan at Levante. Peng is number 2 in the national squad behind first-choice goalkeeper Gaëlle Thalmann, who is ending her career after the World Cup Seraina Friedli (Anderlecht), Viola Calligaris (PSG), Eseosa Aigbogun (AS Roma), Luana Bühler (Tottenham) have all played before Peng and Coumba Sow (Basel) announced their club change.

Four days before the start of the World Cup, Viola Calligaris was still unable to train with the team. The defender continues to suffer from muscle problems that arose in the friendly match against Zambia (3-3). Calligaris’ start against the Philippines on Friday is questionable.

Alexia Putellas (29) could also miss the start of the World Cup with Spain against Costa Rica in Wellington on Friday. The world footballer returned to team training on Monday, but only for 30 minutes. Putellas did not play in Friday’s friendly match against Vietnam due to knee problems. The FC Barcelona midfielder only returned shortly before the World Cup after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament a year ago just before the European Championship.
