Full house, huge excitement: BVB unveil squad for the new season | OneFootball

The BVB women got things started: one by one, the players stepped onto the pitch at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and were cheered by the fans. New signing Manuela Zinsberger was visibly impressed: “Great stadium, great fans!” Defensive leader Frederike Kempe added: “We’ve prepared intensively for the start of the season and are delighted by the strong support.”

By far the biggest applause went to new signing Alex Popp. The new captain said: “The first few weeks have been extremely nice. The team gave me a warm welcome. I’m feeling very positive. We need the support of the fans so that we can fulfill our big dream of promotion.” Applause from the stands!

Head coach Markus Högner summed up the team’s ambitions: “We stand for attacking and courageous football!”

Excitement building for the derby among the senior team

The mood was also excellent among the BVB senior players. Defender Waldemar Anton made it clear how much he and his teammates had been looking forward to returning to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK: “I’m very happy. We’ve all missed being here very much.”

Stadium announcer Nobby Dickel provided the afternoon’s laugh when he asked Maxi Beier “What are you looking forward to more: scoring goals or setting them up?” The answer was brief but clear: “The derby!” (cr)
