England ended up in the so -called “group of death” and was initiated in their first two games a difficult schedule when it was called up in France and the Netherlands against France and the Netherlands.
It leaves Wiegman and her players not a lead for mistakes, but the former Netherlands will not think of anything other than the upcoming task if she hits her former team.
“We are not talking about consequences. We talk about our schedule about what we have to do for our best and how we can take advantage of rooms that leave the Netherlands behind,” she said.
“Of course it will be an intensive game and we knew that this would be a hard group.

“We are busy playing football, performing a task, holding together and doing this together.
“Just work very hard and do everything to win.”
If England is supposed to score the necessary three points, it must increase its level of performance from their opening.
While the lionesses had a strong start, they fell flat after the goal of Alessia Russos when they were picked up in the line -up of Var von Var, flat and sloppy intelligence.
The Netherlands will be more than happy to punish such mistakes with a similar ruthlessness for the French who fired two in England within three minutes.

“We fueled, we had talks with the team, we saw some clips and we talked about starting really well and really well ended,” said Wiegman.
“We didn’t do well enough. We want to do better, we want to be less sloppy and we want to make better decisions, but they go to the next game and so we talked about our schedule, we trained it a bit and tomorrow we will go.”
For Wiegman, the next game with the team that she trained with the lionesses before her stay includes.
In 2017, she picked up the Trophy European Championship with Oranje Leeuwinnen before moving across the canal to repeat the performance with the lionesses.

“I’m fully focusing on England, our team,” she said. “Together with our technical staff and what does we stop: ‘What is our game plan? How are we busy playing the players to prepare them for tomorrow?’
“We trained, we have meeting, we still have a meeting and then we’ll go out there tomorrow and that’s the only thing I think of.”
