Ireland faired better than Germany against the sensational Zambian striker in pre-tournament friendlies
From washing men’s underwear to playing at sold-out Sydney stadiums: Ireland’s winding road to the Women’s World Cup
“We were surprised of course [by Zambia beating Germany] but we also knew they were so strong and it is so difficult to stop them going forward,” said Pauw before an open training session outside Brisbane on Wednesday. “We scored three against them, Germany only scored two, so it shows we are improving.”
“I think so yeah,” Pauw agreed. “An exceptional player and of course we knew about her so I think the tactical way we approached her, although you seen that she is so strong sometimes we could not manage. But our tactical approach, I think, had been very good to stop her from doing what she is very good at.”
