Munich, Duisburg, London – in what will be the penultimate double-duty week of the season, VfL Wolfsburg Women are off to face MSV Duisburg on Wednesday evening (kick-off: 19:00 CEST). At the press conference before the match, head coach Tommy Stroot spoke about…
…squad availability: “Lena Lattwein, Marina Hegering and Alexandra Popp are all out. Merle Frohms won’t be part of the squad in Duisburg. With Arsenal coming up, we want to allow her the sort of recovery time that we haven’t been able to give her since she returned from international duty.”
…MSV Duisburg: “I think that the change of coach could end up being a decisive factor for Duisburg. It hasn’t made our preparations easy, because it means that we can’t go back and analyse the last four or five matches.”
…the opposition’s potentially defensive set-up: “That may well be the case but I always think in terms of solutions. What is critical for us is that we get into a good playing rhythm, that we hold our positions well and that we are ready to transition cleanly. If we can implement all that, then I’m absolutely convinced that we’ll come away with the three points.”
