At the DFB press conference at the training camp in Herzogenarach, the FC Bayern Munich midfielder mentioned another special feature.
“My mom and dad said: Tell the story of your middle name,” Lohmann said Monday.
“Well, Sydney isn’t a boy’s or girl’s name. I need a second name: it’s Matilda.”
The “Matildas” are known as Australian national players. “So here’s some new information,” Lohmann said with a smile.
The 23-year-old has been named in national coach Martina Voss-Decklenburg’s 29-man squad for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (July 20 to August 20).
The 23 World Cup participants will be announced after the second-tier European champions’ final Test against Zambia in Firth next Friday (8:30pm/ARD).
The story of Loman’s first name has been known for a long time. Before she was born, her parents were on a trip around the world, including the Australian metropolis of Sydney.
Lohmann’s team leader is Lena Oberdorf (VfL Wolfsburg) is also mentioned about their family dog, whose breed has a connection to the World Cup host country: “Australian Shepherd at home, Sidney Loman on the team – more signs are unlikely.”
“Friend of animals everywhere. Web guru. Organizer. Food geek. Amateur tv fanatic. Coffee trailblazer. Alcohol junkie.”
