According to Bild , in the match against the world's 32nd ranked Vietnamese women's team, the German women's team (currently ranked 2nd in the FIFA world rankings) struggled to win 2-1 in Offenbach. The newspaper commented that the German women's team - the 2003 world champions, had a lackluster performance in the match against Vietnam, but still has 1 month to improve in preparation for the 2023 Women's World Cup in July in Australia and New Zealand.
The German women's team (right) barely beat Vietnam despite being rated as the overall superior team.
According to local media, the German women's team took to the field without players currently playing for FC Bayern Munich, with Alexandra Popp and Lena Oberdorf not playing, but Merle Frohms and Sara Dabritz (who played in the 2022 European final) were still there. However, the home team failed to show their superior strength against coach Mai Duc Chung's players despite opening the score in the 3rd minute in front of 13,652 fans.
"After the quick goal, the German women's team controlled the game but rarely found a way into the Vietnamese goal. On the contrary, goalkeeper Frohms even had to make two saves. After the break, despite trying hard, we could no longer really control the game and almost equalized in the 77th minute from a close-range header by Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung. We were temporarily reassured thanks to Janina Minge's goal to make it 2-0 in the 80th minute. But the Vietnamese women's players played very bravely and had very good connections in the final minutes before Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha scored to reduce the score to 1-2 in a counterattack. They discovered the weakness of the German defense," according to Bild .
The Vietnamese women's team's defense had a good match.
German press commented that this is really a test for the home team and the confrontation is no different from the upcoming World Cup. Therefore, after the hard-fought victory against the Vietnamese women's team, coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will still have to carefully consider cutting the list from 31 to 23 players to prepare for the upcoming biggest women's football festival in the world.
