World Cup – Spider phobia: Torsoun has ‘animal’ fear of Australia

National soccer star Sara Torsoun has an animal problem ahead of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand – because Eintracht Frankfurt’s defender is “too scared” of spiders. “That’s why I’ve always preferred countries other than Australia,” the 31-year-old Offenbach told Post.

If the European runner-up makes the DFB squad for the finals (July 20 to August 20), she will not only have sporting goals in her luggage. “So I’ll come back with the title and better deal with arachnophobia,” Torson laughed.

However, the upside for Down Under is clear. “We want to be world champions. Without pressure, but with great joy,” Torsoun said ahead of Saturday’s (6:15 pm / ZDF) friendly against World Cup newcomers Vietnam. The squad will be reduced to 23 players after a dress rehearsal against Zambia in Firth on July 7.

“Definitely there are trends, I think you can classify your own role very well,” Dorsoun said of performances during the training camp in Herzogenarach: “Especially experienced players don’t worry too much about it. The national coaching structure is safe in the head. But of course a lot depends on health and form. “
