Affected in the cruciate ligament last October, the midfielder hoped to be recovered in time, but could not find the form in the given time. In an attempt to achieve this, the Bayern Munich player had nevertheless put the odds on her side and had ruled out certain external solicitations. Even the most surprising.

A proposal that the young woman would therefore have rejected, preferring to remain focused on her goal of fitness. Quoted by the media, the German coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg admitted to having also been contacted for the same request in 1989. She had also refused it, not wishing to create interference between the national team and a magazine such as Playboy.
