DFB captain in Popp to the European Championship: Get the title in the optimal case

Pop sees the German footballers at the EM-Tournament particularly demanded. It should be important for women's football in Germany that we are doing well there well. We have to make the next step in the public perception in women's football, demands the 30-year-old in an interview on the website of the DFB. How to work, the currently injured attacker of the VFL Wolfsburg also knows: This is the easiest way if we come as far as possible in England — the title in the optimal case.

This is certainly an ambitious venture, even because for POP the assessment of one's own performance is difficult. Although the Written will find the development positive, but in the qualifications we did not have the opponents who have really challenged us, says the 2016 Olympic winner.

After that we are all smarter.

Alexandra Pop over the four-nation tournament in February

As a gauge, the four-nation tournament could serve in England in February. Then we meet with Spain, Canada and England on absolute top teams. After that we are all smarter, Pop said. But I think that we are doing a lot more than, for example, at the 2019 World Cup in France. The DFB selection had failed in the quarterfinals of Sweden and therefore missed the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Pop, who so far wore 111 times the national jersey, wants to be back in February at the Bundesliga start to the new year and then Has Half Year, to get really fit. England would be your first EM, therefore the anticipation of me is huge personally. So far, I have always hurt myself before the European Championships and could not be there.
