They were also compromising on their desire to spend.
Let’s also not forget that people from that generation were saving more and spending less. “For the former, the traditional way of investing was buying a house, gold or probably a grand marriage they used to invest long-term. The financial and investment habits of older generations were different from those of millennials. This interview was translated from German.Millennials constitute about 30% of India’s population, and are also a part of the startup budding crowd. Including the group stage of Euro 2022, she has 56 goals in 117 appearances for Germany. She was also a member of the German team that won gold at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
The striker, who plays her club football at VfL Wolfsburg, has won numerous titles including the Champions League and the Bundesliga. How about raising the trophy in the air? That sounds like a good plan.Īlexandra Popp, 31, is playing in her first European Championship after missing the 20 editions of the tournament due to injury. But when you see how the younger players like Jule Brand or Nicole Anyomij have been playing in their first tournament, you wouldn't think they were nervous at all. We are there to give them a certain amount of security. You could tell that the players were very nervous. Yesterday, for example, there were a few more spectators than there were in Brentford. Of course, we have to support them in certain situations. How can they benefit from your experience? How do you see your role as captain regarding these players. There are also some youngsters on this team. I don't care, the main thing is that we win. How many do you think there will there be in the end? So far, seven different players have scored for Germany at these Euros. The nice thing is, if everyone focuses on my head, maybe they won't focus on my feet. That's good for me of course, it's my specialty. Maybe that's why I wasn't really on the radar anymore. I've always been strong in that area, but I also went quite a while without scoring a goal. You scored all three of your goals with your head: If that were to happen again against Austria, would it be their own fault? Shouldn't they be forewarned that you can't leave Popp alone with high balls in the penalty area. I have also met it head on with a fighting spirit by standing right here and being able to play in this European Championship. It's no use thinking about it for years, dwelling on it, so to speak. In 2013 we became European champions, so maybe I would have had that on my CV already. Has your strong start made you wonder what might have been in 2013 or 2017, when you missed both tournaments due to injury? So of course, I'm glad that it worked out the way I'd hoped, and I showed myself that I can still get it done. In the end, it's what's suddenly in the net that counts: That was the ball. This was kind of nice for me on the one hand, but it's not nice when it happens under such circumstances. Sadly, I also benefited from Lea's COVID-19 infection.
It depends on what happens in the games. I didn't know whether I would be a starter. Of course, you can't predict that it will work out.
That's what I was hoping for, let's put it that way. That we were able to do so well makes me very happy and proud.Īhead of the tournament, when you thought about the preliminary round matches, did you ever think that you would score three goals in your first three games? How are you feeling?Īlexandra Popp: I'm very happy, regardless of my personal start, but above all about our start as a team, which we achieved with a lot of conviction, with a lot of self-confidence, which I don't think many people expected. DW: Three games, three goals, you can't do much better than that.
