Well, i think we're always playing ases vanished style. We are always with possession. And that's what we want, and thats were that's what weare comfin with. And of course, we are trying to to cross and heates. But think everything is tatit.
Speaker 1
And in terms of winning head is in your own box, it's bright really, rather than williamson. Wou have to say, is is the leader in that respect. So she's always been a good player, milly bright, but i think she's evolved so much since england's last coblet ornaments. I mean, at times she was maybe seen it a bit clumsy, maybe a bit eroprone, but ed a really good season for chelsea. The first first season i've seen really where fell like she was chelse's defensive leader, rather than ericson, who had a bit of a stop start season. And with them, you know, there's been uncertainty about who's going to play alongside her throughout the last couple of weeks. I think that's decided now. But i just think she's, she's just very solid, very commanding. And like as that, i think there could be periods wher england under a bit of pressure and being dominated, certainly in terms of possession. And yes, she is england's best penalty box tofend her by a long way.
Speaker 3
Many of you will remember england playing spain at uro 20 17. At one i know that you would have been across att i'm rich. When england beats spain, too, nill, despite having only 22 % possession during the match.
Speaker 1
Let's speak about panas, because we know that she has got an error in her when she's under pressure. We saw her have to three minutes make that mistake against germany, and then that was it, really, it was game over. So could it benefit rich ellen white to do that high press that we've got used to seeing from her in these group stages.
Speaker 2
Ye, i think we'll see it. I think, i think it'll be the same 11. As long as everybody's fit, everybody's healthy, serenin, it doesn't really make too many changes. The only thing you have to be wary of is if you are going to press spain, you have to get it right, because they will start playing around you. And as michael alluded to, you don't want that, because they'll tire you out. They'll start passing you around. But i think we will see. I ellen is so good at that. And as we've seen in this tournament, that doesn't work. You know, they've got a lessier rousseau who will do exactly the same job, fresh as a daisy, you know, with an hour gone, or 70 minutes gone, whatever. Ah, but yo, we will. Because we know spain wants to play out. We know they want to pass the ball out from the back. And if england get their press right, you know, if the pace they've got out wide, and you know, they've gon e have chances. But, you know, they still concern me up the other end, because we haven't really seen england massively tested defensively. And even northern ireland. You know, they got in a couple of times in behind england's fall back. So, you know, spain will be dangerous. You know, it's going to be an interesting game. And i think, i think england a favor slightly, but you cannot rule out a team like spain. But thing, it's going to be a really exciting game,
Speaker 1
trying to solve this possession conundrum. Michael, i was going back through old interviews and am and reminded myself of caron carney, when she was talking, i think it was her and jill scott, about the last time they played spain. And lucy bronse reminded me to day that they did win that match very narrowly, but they were trying to act like crabs. I don't know how technical a term that is for you when you're doing your pieces, but crab from side to side. Could that be the key? I don't think ive ever heard that before. That is interesting. Soy, she means they were, basically, i guess she means they were shuffling sideways, trying, i yes, yer in them, ye y, to night. It just just takes me about to playing crab football when i was at cubs? Did you ever play that? Siks, that football butt, you had to stay on your bum, basically a hopefully. I don't know where you went to cubs, michael, but i am very intrigued by your crans ive promised you some one, some one, not amon about. But as long as england do' don't do that, i think they should be all right.
