National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will comment on the women’s World Cup disaster before the flight home in Australia.
Brisbane.
After the surprising preliminary round at the World Cup, the long flight home of the German soccer players is a bit difficult. The 70-strong DFB entourage flies “gradually” from Sydney to Frankfurt, as the association said. National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg and DFB manager Joti Chatzialexiou will hold a press conference on Saturday (3:00 a.m. CEST) in the World Cup base in Wyong. The 55-year-old left her future as head coach open immediately after the 1-1 draw, despite her contract until 2025.
According to dpa information, not all players and delegation members could be accommodated in one or two planes on the fly. Apparently, the DFB had counted on reaching the round of 16.
The Voss-Tecklenburg team flies this Friday from Brisbane, where the 1-1 draw against South Korea was not enough to progress, to Newcastle and from there back to the base camp in Wyong. This will be resolved in the next few days. Regeneration training or the like is no longer planned. The players around captain Alexandra Popp will be on vacation after their return, although preparations for the new season have already begun at some Bundesliga clubs. (dpa)
