Some struggled initially. Leitner wasn’t great. Passlack is new. Don’t think stiepermann

is ever interviewed in English and there might be a reason for that.

They’ll be doing lessons and practicing. Will be fine if not already. He is just taking the opportunity to be really clear in their own language during a practice match early in the preseason. He’s basically playing as many Germans as he possibly could today, working with the system in German. Makes sense. He’ll just have told Marshall and husband to just play their game unless they hear him in English (like “stay high”)
