“I don’t know, that will have to be seen by the ANFP. They will evaluate the results and processes. It is their decision and we have to evaluate ourselves and see if we continue in this or not. Now to celebrate the end of a long process and more than anything that the compañeras left everything and fought until the end to stay alive, ”said the Lyon de France goalkeeper.
“I am angry, because we should not have come here. As a team we deserved more and we should have reached higher. We are lucky to have this new possibility, we have to take it with the seriousness that is needed”, added the goalkeeper.
Along the same lines, Endler stressed that “I am not satisfied. We want to be higher, fight for the top positions, be in the semifinals. We did not meet the objectives and we have to rethink everything that is happening. I’m self-critical, I’m not happy with the Copa América I did, but we all have to be self-critical”.
Christiane Endler: “We can’t play like this”
‘Tiane’ also had words for his performance, highly questioned in the falls once morest Paraguay and Colombia for the group stage of the contest.

Then, the goalkeeper pointed out what will be the way to the World Cup Repechage and what the women’s team should do better.
“We cannot settle for what is now. We have to continue growing as a team, as a national team and as women’s football. We need you to join us. We all have to improve and be self-critical, the team, the coaching staff… If we want to go to the World Cup, we can’t play like this.”sentenced Christiane Endler.
