Venlo (AP) - national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg was torn.
On the one hand, the DFB women had played a strong game in the 1: 2 (1: 1) against European champions Netherlands over 50 minutes, on the other hand they themselves caused the end of the winning streak after twelve successes in a row.
In any case, in Venlo, she got exactly the knowledge that she wanted to have when building a powerful team for the EM 2022 in England.
GOALKEEPER: Merle Frohms was looking forward to finally being able to distinguish himself.
But then the Frankfurt woman got more work than she could have liked.
It was also thanks to her that the DFB-Elf were not hopelessly behind after 40 minutes.
She was always present, but also gave the Dutch women several chances to get in, as she let balls bounce forward.
"She will learn a lot from this game," said Voss-Tecklenburg.

DEFENSE: With an average age of 22 years, it was the youngest defense in recent German international history.
Voss-Tecklenburg had expected that mistakes would also be made against the world-class attack of the World Cup runner-up.
When the entire team got together from the 40th minute on and considered their own strengths, the cover also became calmer.
The hosts' winning goal was preceded by a mistake by Sophia Kleinherne in the forward movement.
"Only in such games can they gain experience and develop," said Voss-Tecklenburg.
MITTELFELD: In the first half there was not enough of the routine series with Sara Däbritz, Dzsenifer Marozsan, Alexandra Popp and Svenja Huth.
Also because of their passivity, the defense always got into the water.
But in the second section everyone showed their skills.
Ball security, technical subtleties, speed and force in the attack now presented the Dutch women with considerable problems.
ATTACK: The attack against the Dutch women was much better than in the 2-0 win against Belgium, but it revealed a major shortcoming: the exploitation of chances.
Klara Bühl and Lea Schüller alone had enough chances for a win.
«We must and will practice, practice, practice.
I hope that in just under a year and a half they will be so callous at the EM that they will take advantage of such opportunities, ”said Voss-Tecklenburg.
