Sarina Wiegman said that experiencing a tense penalty shootout four months before the World Cup was vital experience for her side, after England secured victory over Brazil in the Finalissima at Wembley.
“The team did really well, showing resilience,” the manager said. “I am happy, it is good that we have this information. Experience [helps] you recognise situations – how you feel with that walk to the penalty spot with 83,000 people screaming. It really helps, and shows again that we can do it.”
