England Women head coach Sarina Wiegman believes that the homecoming will be a celebration after winning the Euro 2022 at Wembley. They will be playing in England for the first time since that victory with the Stoke stadium sold out for their World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg. The England Women booked their place in the World Cup after a 2-0 win over Austria.
“I think so. It’s really exciting. The support of the fans has been great in the Euros, but they keep coming now,” England Women head coach Sarina Wiegman said. “Tomorrow it will be 30,000 coming to watch us, so we really want to show again our game and make a little celebration. This team is so eager to do well. I expect again a very energetic team that really wants to show and score lots of goals and – of course – concede none. Tomorrow we want to be in possession as much as possible because their level compared to ours, there is a big difference, so we should show that I think. And then, of course, we want to create many chances and score lots of goals. We want to win this game and want to get a good win.”
“We talked about this (before) of course – I think we need to make changes if it’s better for the development of the women’s game,” she added. “I think sometimes a bigger score is OK, but when that’s all the time, you must question yourself – is that good for the team that loses that much, and for the team that wins that much? And it’s not an exception but it’s more a rule and then you might want to make some changes for the benefit of the game in both countries. I think that discussion has been going on for a while, also UEFA and FIFA, so we’ll see where that brings us.”
