Sarina Wiegman: 'England need to be more ruthless against Germany'

England manager Sarina Wiegman said they need to be more «ruthless» against Germany in their final match of the Arnold Clark Cup tournament.

The Lionesses have drawn 1-1 with Canada and 0-0 with Spain so far.

Germany, third in the world, are the highest-ranked side in the competition but lost to Olympic champions Canada, having drawn their opener with Spain.

«It's the final touch which is the hardest thing in football,» Wiegman added.

«I've seen a lot from us and the team. We want to take the next step. In all the different moments of the game, we want to improve again.

»I thought we created so many chances against Spain but we would really like to score a goal! It doesn't really matter who scores the goal as long as we score the goal.

«We want to do better in the final third and that is about decision-making, connections and scanning the situation to be ruthless. Hopefully we can show that tomorrow.»

England's final match on Wednesday in Wolverhampton caps a run of three games in seven days against opposition all ranked inside the world's top 10.

It has been largely positive for England as they continue their preparation for this summer's home European Championship and they remain unbeaten in eight matches under Wiegman.

The former Netherlands boss — who won the 2017 Euros with them on home soil — took over in September and said the squad was «better than I thought».

«I think we're taking steps and developing very well. The squad has done great but also with the communication and the way we talk about football and how the players are committed,» she added.

«When I came in, I knew the England squad was very good but it's even better than I thought. The players have already so much experience and there are lots of personalities
