The Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand turned out to be a failure for the German national team. Almost four months later, the general public is getting a deep insight behind the scenes of the World Cup debacle for the first time in the new episodes of the documentary series “Born of this” (from Friday, 8 p.m., in the ZDF media library).
In particular, the now dismissed former national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg (55), or MTV for short, is not doing well. Above all, striker Alexandra Popp (32) criticizes the decisions of the Germans. Accordingly, the late nominations for the World Cup selection, only after the last training camp in Herzogenaurach, “created dissatisfaction and extremely high pressure.”
Sjoeke Nüsken (22) complains that the uncertainty made people restless on the field. Team spirit also suffered from the persistent competition. MTV explains the intention behind the postponed appointment of the World Cup squad to test their resilience under pressure: “We wanted to give the players as long as possible to show themselves to us.”
Accommodation in Australia is not ideal
The World Cup facility in Wyong, 100 kilometers north of Sydney, also raised eyebrows. Lena Lattwein (23) called the team hotel “beautiful wasteland”. Popp describes the accommodation as “not ideal” and “extremely away from the hustle and bustle”. There was a lack of more freedom. “You can think about whether you can do it differently next time,” says Lea Schüller (26). (Gentlemen)
