Holstein Women: Intense training and strong performance against Hertha BSC

Last weekend an intensive short training camp for the Holstein Women von Kiel took place in Berlin. Under the direction of head coach Marcello Semonella, the players traveled to the capital to prepare for the upcoming season together with the U23 women of Union Berlin. The event not only showed the team dynamics, but also offered valuable opportunities for exchange and learning.

Cooperation with Union Berlin

The training sessions in the new training center Oberspree were characterized by a positive atmosphere. Semonella spoke of a cognitive training with a lot of potential. The players, especially the new additions such as Aryanna Naward, emphasized how important contact with other teams is. "The joint training was a great opportunity to get to know each other better and to exchange relevant experiences," said Naward.

Intensive training units improve team dynamics

On Saturday, the focus of the training session was on the offensive processes, followed by working on standard situations. Semonella emphasized that despite the stress for the upcoming test game, the players kept very well. Paula Harder, an experienced player, emphasized that the long training session also created space for tactical conversations. A particularly important aspect of the training camp was a team workshop in which the players determined values ​​and goals for the coming season, which strengthened the bond within the team.

The friendly against Hertha BSC

On Sunday, the test game against Hertha BSC's women was on the program. The Holstein Women started promising, but could not stop the pressure phase of the Berliners permanently. After an initial stability on the defensive, they finally had to accept a defeat of 2: 7. Despite the high goals, Semonella saw positive approaches: "We have shown good processes forward in many places, which is promising for the coming weeks," he said. Paula Harder was also able to draw some important insights from the game and identified the need for better communication on the pitch.

Significance of the training camp for the players

The positive experiences and intensive training in Berlin show how important such events are for the development of the team. The Holstein Women not only improved their skills, but also made new friendships and strengthened the team spirit. The visit and cooperation with another team enabled the players to reflect on their playing style and learn how to behave in stressful situations.

After the training camp, the Holstein Women return strengthened to the fjord and will test against SV Frisia 03 Lindholm next Sunday. The team is optimistic that they can implement the knowledge gained and the newly strengthened relationships in their next games.
