Barcelona's Aitana Bonmati scored in the 113th minute to break the hearts of the Germans at Zurich's Letzigrund stadium on Wednesday.
“I am proud of the team, and indeed, we will move forward from here,” Wueck mentioned. “This was another challenge, but I am confident we can build on this and will strive to carry this momentum into the Nations League.”
Germany had surpassed expectations by holding off the World Champions Spain for an extended period, Wueck stated.
“I believe the development we have initiated is the correct path, and we fully support it,” he added.
Defender Rebecca Knaak noted that the performance indicated her team was on the right path.
“We also demonstrated today that we could play with more bravery and self-assurance, even against Spain, as we defended a lot, but we also aimed to dictate the play,” Knaak stated.
“We showcased what we are capable of against world-class players. I’m incredibly proud of the team,” Knaak remarked.
Teammate Sara Daebritz mentioned that the team felt disappointed to concede such a late goal, which shattered their hopes of reaching the final, where Spain will now face England.
Nonetheless, the team possesses “a very bright future,” Daebritz stated.
“We have numerous young players in our squad, many of whom have not played many international matches yet, but who have truly excelled in this tournament,” she added.
“We will continue to progress, work diligently on our skills, and we will return even stronger.”
