Sarina Wiegman delivers as Lionesses revive Euro 2025 hopes

Wiegman knows what it means to be under the spotlight that takes England to the big tournament finals in a row.

When you set this standard, less something is a disappointment.

Britain’s level has fallen significantly against France, which increased the investigation in Wiegman, which exposed its first defeat to an euro after winning 12 matches on the two previous tournaments.

In addition, the European champions of women who ruled had lost their first match for the first time in the following finals.

Wiegman admitted that the review was “difficult”, but focused on the task at hand.

“Before this tournament, I knew it was a very difficult group. It may be, but then you have to win other games,” he said.

“So yes, I was excited, but at the same time I felt a little tense. I think this is completely normal because you really want to stay in the tournament and want to win.

“I just had to focus on my job, examine well and think about how we can bring people together.”

Wiegman frequently delivered it in big moments and no executive won more euro matches than Dutch woman (13 – with Germany’s former manager Tina Theune).

In addition, it has the best goal per game in the competition among managers to assume responsibility for four or more matches.

Wiegman, who was criticized for the decision to start Lauren James vulnerable to France against France, made all the right choices against the Netherlands.

James started on the right wing, and started in the role of Manchester United’s Ella Toone 10. They threw three golden at night.

Jess Carter, who was fighting against France in the left back, was moved to the central defense, replaced with Alex Greenwood, and the UK held a clean page.

“Priority, we wanted to jump and exploit the field. The Netherlands pushed up, so we wanted to review them. This really worked well.” He said.

“You can start playing when they’re half of their field. We had beautiful crosses and we talked about it.

“[James] He came in good positions, but he can do it in the midfield. Today we wanted Ella in the midfield [Toone] Because he can run well in the back. “

The plan worked.

The Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema had only eight touches in the first half, and the Dutch scored more than two goals in a single match in a large women’s tournament for the first time.

They also made only four shots against England – at least record in a large tournament (since 2011).
