“Proud of the team and the coach” – Svenja Schlenker on the DFB-Pokal match | OneFootball

Svenja Schlenker on the historic match:“I really enjoyed the moment today. It feels absolutely fantastic and very unique. Before the match, I was asked what it would take for me to be satisfied with this match or this evening, and I can say that I am really completely satisfied because it was a truly wonderful, historic evening of football. The girls gave it their all, were a bit braver in the second half and created chances. I would have really loved us to score that one goal. I was actually able to enjoy the game a bit and I hope the team was able to as well in the end.”

...on the respectable scoreline:“Theoretically, I could have predicted anything beforehand. It was difficult to predict, but in the end it’s a very respectable result. I’m proud of the team and the coaches. It was simply a really good performance.”

...the stage that this game provided:“The stage allowed us to show once again what we really want to achieve, where we might already be, and to draw a little more attention to ourselves, but also to women’s football.”

… the opponents Bayern Munich:“When we saw the squad today, with so many fantastic players, we know that we still have a long way to go. We still have to take that step. But if we want to compete at the top at some point, first in the Bundesliga, then we definitely know where we need to go and we can certainly take Bayern as a role model.”

… the Bayern players’ expressed desire that BVB achieve promotion as soon as possible:“Of course, we’re delighted about that. I think everyone is looking forward to this very prestigious match, which already exists in men’s football. Let’s see if we can establish it in women’s football in the same way or perhaps do it a little differently. It’s not always set in stone that you have to do everything in exactly the same manner. On the contrary, you can go your own way. But both the Bayern players and we are looking forward to the match, and I believe many other fans of women’s football are too.”
