LONDON : Winning the European Championship has taken some of the pressure off England going into the Women's World Cup, full back Lucy Bronze said, despite the Lionesses being touted as one of the teams to beat in the tournament.
"I think every tournament I've been part of after 2015, it was like an expectation that England should be making finals and winning, even though it's something we've never experienced before," Bronze told Reuters in a Zoom interview. "So I think our experiences are invaluable in that respect and probably takes a little bit of pressure away."
"We've got an exciting team... And hopefully we can make the final. I think that's the one thing that we're missing in England is a World Cup final ." However, Bronze is no stranger to performing on the biggest stage and shares her preparation tips in a UEFA #WePlayStrong and Gatorade Sports Science Institute-backed ‘Skills? Sorted’ series on YouTube.
