Crime in Wolfsburg: She-wolves are facing the final against Rome!
An intense showdown is coming up for the VfL Wolfsburg footballers! This evening (6:45 p.m.) the “Wolfs” will take on AS Roma in their home stadium in Allerpark – a crucial duel in the Champions League group phase. A win with at least two goals is required to advance to the quarter-finals, as a defeat would mean immediate elimination. In order to preserve the chances of promotion, the motto “win or fly” applies ndr.de reported. Coach Tommy Stroot's team has to prepare for a highly dramatic game, as a draw is not enough and the Wolves have already lost 1-0 in the first leg.
In this critical phase, team constitution is crucial. While Lisa Schmitz is out due to injury, there is positive news from Jule Brand, who is back in full action after her injury. Stroot demands full concentration from his team: “Anything other than a win is simply impossible,” emphasizes goalkeeper Merle Frohms. According to Stroot, in order to be successful against Rome, a more aggressive demeanor is required. “We have to take steps in terms of aggressiveness,” explains the coach. This represents a big challenge, especially after the recent defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, but this has not shaken the Wolves' confidence, such is the attitude of the players, who are determined to show their quality performance.
Preparing for a crucial game
The mood in training is positive, as Kathy Hendrich states: "We know what tomorrow is about. The mix of fun and full concentration is good," says the defender about the intensive preparations. The Wolves have learned from their past defeats and are determined to bring the necessary determination and offensive power onto the field in the home game against Rome.
