“We are happy to be a part of this championship, which is being held after a three-year break. We are glad that we were drawn to Group A and that we will play in Sarajevo. I hope we stay here until the very end. We know our opponents well. We played qualifiers with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Portugal and it was a really difficult match for us. We played two matches with Denmark in February as part of preparations for the elite qualifying round. And, of course, we always play derby matches with the Netherlands; we know each other quite well. They have ambitions to win this competition and I could hardly wait to play with them. Apart from us and the Netherlands, I also see France and Spain as candidates for the first three places, which I am sure will pass the qualifications. Germany is the record holder in the number of championships won, but I tell my girls that pressure is a privilege. In the qualification, we were two goals behind Austria and we managed to turn the result around and qualify for the European Championship. I am sure that the girls will know how to cope with the pressure that this competition brings and the challenges that await us.”
