“As a player, I see myself as very technically skilled, explosive and fast: I always want to attack, score goals and work hard for the team, support my teammates and improve every day. I’ll play with international top players here, I can learn an incredible lot from them. Together with the team, I want to keep improving and win as many titles as possible in the next few years.”

We’re looking forward to the upcoming years with her in Munich.”
