“New viewers notice that we deliver top performances with passion and motivation. Then, we don’t know as many things about us as about men, who benefit from a permanent media presence. Ultimately, we are also more accessible to the public. This is not a criticism of men, in whom we have reached such proportions that they can no longer let everything happen. But I think we managed to inspire the spectators with more honest football,” analysis Sophia Kleinherne, who has 22 caps with the German national team.
