GERMANY COACH, CHRISTIAN WUECK AND PLAYER JANINA MINGE ARRIVING FOR PRESS CONFERENCE  2. WHITEFLASH  3. (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMANY COACH, CHRISTIAN WUECK, SAYING: "Yes, of course we're in a finals mood. I think ever since the players arrived, you could sense that this was something special, that we were continuing on the path we started at the beginning with the match in Holland, which ended in a draw, and that we ultimately overcame many obstacles and played many matches, some good, some bad, to qualify for the final. With the two matches against France, we now want to crown that achievement and, against Spain, who will demand everything from us, ultimately prevail and hold the trophy in our hands." 4. WHITEFLASH  5. (SOUNDBITE) (German) PLAYER JANINA MINGE, SAYING: "Yes, definitely. I think that from the very beginning, when we arrived here, you could tell that it was something very special. Something special is coming up, especially now at the end of the year, with two more absolute highlight matches that we can crown with a title. I think we've played really well in the Nations League. And if we can cap it off with the title at the end, it would of course be a very, very nice way to end the year. And we'll do everything we can to make sure we achieve that in the end." 6. WHITEFLASH  7. (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMANY COACH, CHRISTIAN WUECK, SAYING: "We have to continue to work consistently in defence. We have to continue to stand very compactly. We mustn't give them the space they need to play their short -pass game. And if we can manage to achieve the efficiency that we unfortunately lacked in the semi-finals, then we can take the lead and maybe even score a goal or two. And I think that's what we lacked at the European Championships, we simply didn't score enough goals. But I think the two games against France showed that we drew the right conclusions from that, that we pulled the right levers, and I hope that we will continue on this path and that the players will confirm this against a top opponent like Spain." 8. WHITEFLASH  9. (SOUNDBITE) (German) PLAYER JANINA MINGE, SAYING: "No, I think we are all extremely aware that we have to deliver a very, very good performance tomorrow, because otherwise the second match will no longer be of much significance. And that's why we want to play with a lot of confidence here in Germany tomorrow. I believe we will have a great atmosphere, which will give us an extra boost. And we want to use the first game to set the tone and put ourselves in a really good position for the second game." 10. MINGE AND WUECK HOLD UP TRAINING JERSEY READING (German) "STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN"  11.
