Long road to Wembley: key reasons behind England’s run to Euros final
The appointment of a manager of Sarina Wiegman’s pedigree has been crucial to this England team’s progression. Since arriving last autumn, she has instilled confidence in the Lionesses that has led to a 19-game unbeaten run, winning 17 and scoring 104 goals. Tactically astute and not afraid to stick to her guns, she has proven her ability to change the course of a game with a substitution. In addition, she has won this competition before, guiding her native Netherlands to the 2017 Euros title. Having the results to back up her instructions can only help in getting players on board.
