Georgia Stanway emphasized the need for the Lionesses to improve following an underwhelming performance against France. She expressed frustration with discussing the team's struggles and indicated a strong desire to rectify mistakes on the pitch. Stanway advocated for a return to England's football roots, emphasizing a traditional style characterized by toughness. Meanwhile, Spain's Alexia Putellas spoke about a seamless flow in their game against Belgium, attributing the team's success to their comfort and adaptability under pressure.
We know as a team that we underperformed [against France]. We know as individuals that we underperformed. I didn't want to do the press conference today because I'm fed up of talking now. It's time that we focus on putting things right on the grass.
We're all just dying for the game to come round as fast as possible because we want to make sure that we're stepping on that pitch knowing what we've experienced but also wanting to make a change.
We've spoken about wanting to be proper England; we want to go back to what we're good at, we want to go back to a traditional style of football in terms of tough tackles, getting back to our roots and remembering why we're here.
I think there are plenty of moments in a game, the team had an excellent performance, and even if we almost always have things we can improve, I believe that team is fine. We feel comfortable, if there's something that doesn't work we can change and adapt.
