DFB women are fighting against France for the Olympic ticket

Lyon – It is the first of two possible Olympic showdowns for the DFB women: With a win against France, Germany not only wants to reach the final of the Nations League, but also book its ticket to the upcoming Olympic Games in the French capital Paris.
“We definitely want to fulfill this dream of the Olympics,” explained interim national coach Horst Hrubesch combatively.

France against Germany in the live ticker: DFB women fight for an Olympic ticket
“Three or four months ago, no one would have thought that we would be sitting here now,” emphasized Hrubesch before the game in Lyon.
And yet the Olympic goal is now within reach.
“After the disappointing World Cup, it would be a very important signal towards women’s football if we were to overcome this hurdle and qualify for Paris,” said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf.
Although the DFB players definitely want to use the first match point for Paris, there is still hope even in the event of a semi-final defeat.
Because France has already qualified as hosts, they would still have a second chance if they lost in the game for third place on Wednesday.
There it would be away against the loser of the second semi-final, i.e. the Netherlands (in Heerenveen) or world champion Spain (in Seville).

Germany goes into the game with self-confidence
According to France expert Sara Däbritz, Les Bleues see the Germans as fearsome opponents; they have lost to the DFB team several times in major tournaments.
“We go into the game with exactly that self-confidence,” assured the midfielder from Olympique Lyon, but warned about France: “They are a strong team.
They have individual class and high speed.”
