  Knee injuries caused Nadine Kessler’s retirement at age 28, however the German midfielder’s incredible tight control, smooth playing style and scoring touch will never be lost in the memory of. “Kessi” coached VfL Wolfsburg to back-to-back Frauen-Bundesliga and UEFA Women’s Champions League titles and played a major role for Germany’s Euros victory, which culminated in her being awarded the 2014 UEFA Best Female Player award and FIFA Women’s World Player of the Awards of the Year. As UEFA’s Head of Women’s Football She came to us to revisit and reflect on the sport she is passionate about.

  SK If you could participate in a similar game again what is it and what would it be?

  NK Two games that spring to the mind. The first one is 2014. The 2014. Champions League final in Lisbon and we (Wolfsburg) beat 4-3 Tyreso FF. Tyreso was 2-0 ahead in one minute of play, but we returned after the break. It makes me feel very satisfied and happy for being a part of the team. It’s not all about winning the prize, but most importantly, how you have managed to accomplish all the things you’ve ever wanted to achieve in your life, and who you share it with.

  The next occasion is the final match of the 2013 UEFA Women’s EURO. We defeated Norway 1-1 in front of more than 41,000 people. It was a fantastic atmosphere, and the fact that the majority of people at the stadium weren’t cheering us on probably helped to keep us to keep going. The game was intense , and the goal keeper Nadine Angerer was able to save two penalties. It’s a feeling of immense satisfaction when you have won an important prize for your nation. I was exhausted, thrilled and didn’t know what had happened however, when we arrived back to Germany thousands of people were waiting to welcome us, and that’s when that you appreciate what you’ve done. My family members were also there and the emotion was overwhelming. It was probably the most proud moment in my career.
