Sarina Wiegman said: ‘They are ready to play the best game against Sweden,’ while Millie Bright emphasised England have forgotten their past three semi-final defeats
Sarina Wiegman believes England have grown in confidence and become more resilient since she took over as manager and expects them to be able to handle the big occasion when they face Sweden for a place in the final of Euro 2022 on Tuesday night.
Asked whether the Lionesses were ready to make history, the Dutch manager said: “The England team is ready to play the best game tomorrow against Sweden,” before adding with a grin, “and hopefully we will inspire the nation.” “We are England, Sweden is our opponent. Tomorrow they have a very strong squad. So do we. And we just hope we will play our style of game and that will bring us the win.Photograph: Lynne Cameron/The FA/Getty Images
If Wiegman is looking only ahead, so are her players. The centre-back Millie Bright was quick to deflect away from England’s three consecutive semi-final exits from major tournaments. “Those are parked to one side,” she said.
