With just a couple of weeks for the Euros, Millie Bright and Ellen White have spoken about the England Women squad selection and the mood in the camp during media day. It was a busy afternoon as the team faced the media for the first time since Sarina Wiegman announced her squad last week. England will look to make the use of home advantage as they enter the tournament as one of the favorites.
“It’s fun. It’s something we’ve fought for a long time in the women’s game so for us to be walking through the streets and see the girls on the billboards, it’s incredible,” England Women defender Millie Bright said. “It shows again how far we’ve come in the women’s game and what we deserve. It’s mainly excitement but also again what’s to come in the future. We’ve got to keep pushing.”
“It’s a pretty good squad! It’s exciting. Sarina definitely had a headache, but I’m super proud of this squad. I feel super lucky to be in this squad, to be selected, and to be surrounded by the talented players here. For all of us, we’re excited and just want to get going, we’ve been in camp for four weeks and we can’t wait,” Ellen White said. “First and foremost, all our group games are sold out, which is blowing our minds that so many people want to come out and support us and watch women’s football. It’s going to be a crazy tournament and hopefully, everyone is going to be supporting it. The players and talent on the show are going to be insane and we want to make the country proud. We hope that watching us play, you’ll see the passion and love we have playing for England.”
