This afternoon I came back from Mülheim in Germany where we have completed four training sessions with the German World Cup team. In total, I played nine matches spread over four sessions, one Mondayevening, two on Tuesday and this morning the last one. Out of the 9 there were six three-game matches, so the number of games played was great. Most importantly, we had a chance to get the rhythm necessary for the upcoming tournaments. May I therefore thank the Germans for this initiative to organize a joint training. As far as I am concerned this should be done more often.
Thursday and Friday we train three times at Papendal and then Saturday morning we leave by car to Paris.
