Lucy Bronze believes every player at the European Championship feels a greater pressure to perform because of the boost women’s football receives as a result of success.
“Every single player that puts on a shirt in this tournament probably feels that,” the defender said, as England prepare to play Sweden in their quarter-final on Thursday night. “I can imagine the Swiss team feel that because they’re the home nation. Every other team wants to replicate what England did in 2022, what the Netherlands did before us, and really boost women’s football and we know that success comes from that.
