During her pre-match press conference, England manager Sarina Wiegman said: “They’re very comfortable on the ball and they want to play a possession game. We are aware of that, so at moments, we will have to be patient and wait until we can press and win the ball but we also know that we can exploit space behind them and that’s what we are looking for. They’ve been struggling with that over the last couple of games. They’re a good side but we see opportunities too.”
Wiegman continued: “I think we have evolved but you can’t relate to the EUROs or the World Cup anymore because there have been so many new players coming in. The game has evolved too, it’s not just us trying to adapt, the opponents have changed with the Nations League coming in, different matches at a much higher level which is what we want. Of course, we are still developing, adapting and trying to improve every single game.”
