Karen Carney: England boss Sarina Wiegman is the best and has that fear factor Lionesses will need at Euro 2022

Karen Carney, England’s 144-cap midfielder, wants the Lionesses to play without pressure at Euro 2022

We’ve got every chance. I put us up there with two or three other teams. I just want everyone to get behind the team. Post positivity on social media and support England. (Boss) Sarina Wiegman won the last Euros with the Dutch and you will see that momentum and galvanising effect if people think it’s coming home.

I hope so. She’s quality, the best. We waited for her to become available and went and got her. I’ve been hugely impressed – she’s classy, with determination and a really calm aura. I wouldn’t mess with her either but you do need that fear factor in a manager. But it’s not all about Sarina. To win a tournament you need luck.

I’ve been a huge fan of Lauren’s for many years and she is in amazing form but we shouldn’t put too much pressure on her. My advice would be to go out and enjoy her football like she’s an 11-year-old again. But I have no doubt she will be one of the best players in the world at some point.

Leah has been nurtured for this role for a long time and has other leaders to support her. You don’t have to have the armband to be a captain and other players will amplify what she is trying to do.

I’ve reached out to Steph and she just needs some time. Sometimes you have injuries and she will be disappointed to miss out but if anyone knows how to come back from them it’s her.

The squad is a massive strength – Lucy Bronze looks back on form, Beth Mead is hungrier than ever and Sarina has great options off the bench and experience to call on. We’re definitely in the mix.

I’ve backed Sweden for a while now – they’re the ones to look out for. They do look very strong.
