A Look Inside the BVB Women’s Derby Training Session
Just in time for the start of the media-open training session, the rain stops. The invited media guests can thus get a sense of the intensity and sharpness with which the Borussia Dortmund women are training four days before the top Regionalliga match, despite the cold but dry conditions outside. Anticipation is building among everyone involved for the showdown with their local rivals and league neighbors, for which only a few hundred tickets remain available in the online ticket shop.
The coaching staff led by Markus Högner repeatedly urges the team to maintain full concentration: “Good movement,” “Every touch has to be on point,” and “Stay focused” can be heard across the field at the BVB training facility, where the BVB Women are preparing this week for their local derby against FC Schalke 04.
Ahead of what will be the fifth competitive match between a BVB women’s team and the Royal Blues, nothing is being left to chance in the preparations; all 21 players are training with full commitment. The session begins with an athletic warm-up before the players break into small groups for position-specific drills. The Dortmund women tackle the subsequent practice matches with great intensity. Coach Markus Högner had already made it clear at the start of the week that there would be no deviation from the established routines in preparation for the top match in the Regionalliga West.
Accordingly, the BVB Women completed their training session on Wednesday at the Hohenbuschei training facility with high motivation and determination.
