All our attention is now on the France game. It is no surprise to us that we are going to be playing in a really difficult game because our group is really, really tough.<\/p>\n
We know we are in the deep end at this tournament, but we have better depth than we have ever had and we know that no-one is going to work any harder than us.<\/p>\n
Everyone here is so important and so valuable to us and we trust every single person in this group and we’re adaptable as a team.<\/p>\n
I think you have to be adaptable in tournament football and it’s going to be key for us moving forward – we’re always a team that finishes strongly in games.<\/p>\n
The key for us is staying in the game as long as we can.<\/p>\n
We’ve reviewed the Dutch game, we have learnt lessons, and hopefully moving on into the next match, we know that we can frustrate teams.<\/p>\n
That’s something that’s in our DNA and that we’ve done consistently throughout the Nations League, in tough games against Sweden, Denmark and Italy – three teams who are also at this tournament.<\/p>\n
One huge bonus for us ahead of the France match is the fact that Ceri Holland is fit to play.<\/p>\n
When she went down I think probably a lot of people feared the worst, but thankfully she’s OK.<\/p>\n
Ceri’s a brilliant footballer and her work-rate for the team is off the charts.<\/p>\n
It was a huge relief when we saw her get up and we knew it was just cramp. We really lucky to have a healthy squad at the moment and touch wood, that will continue throughout our time in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
People outside will write us off, we know that, but the belief within our group remains as strong as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All our attention is now on the France game.
