This coming Saturday, 4 February at 14:00 CET, VfL Women visit SC Freiburg to finish off the first half of the season. Head coach Tommy Stroot faced the press ahead of the first game after the winter break and spoke about…
…the latest injury news: “Lisa Weiss is almost at the end of her rehab after her knee problems and we hope to have her back on the pitch within the next week. Other than that, everyone is available.”
…their opponents and the target: “We know what to expect, we’re looking to dominate play and make the right decisions once we’re in possession. I’m also looking to energy in every transition. Those are just the basics though that we expect from our players – and we know full well that the Freiburg players have their own individual qualities. They’ve got their own tempo and ideas on how to create certain situations, so we need to be prepared for that. Nevertheless, we’ll be concentrating on our own game first and foremost.”
…keeping the same squad: “That was a deliberate decision on our part. We wanted to keep this squad together and I’m sure that that will be an advantage for us in the second half of the season. Of course, there are always several parties involved, but all of the players who have stayed here were more than happy to do so, taking all of their upcoming options and thoughts into account. It’s pretty special to be part of this group and to work towards major ambitions together.”
