Women’s Euro 2025 live: England ‘not good enough’ as Lionesses react to France defeat
@Source: independent.co.uk
Forward Lauren Hemp insists England know what is at stake when they play the Netherlands on Wednesday as they bid to keep their European title defence alive.
The Lionesses’ backs are against the wall after suffering an tournament-opening 2-1 defeat to France to set up what is already being billed as a “must-win” meeting with 2017 champions the Netherlands.
Victory could alleviate some of the danger of England becoming the first defending champions to crash out in the group stage, but they need to spark some swagger back into the side ahead of the critical clash.
“This team, a lot of the time, we thrive under pressure,” said Manchester City forward Hemp. “Obviously it’s one of those situations. Every game we go into, we want to win.
“From how we acted in the last 10 minutes (against France), we know what’s at stake, and obviously we want to get as far as we can.
“We are reigning champions. It is important to remember that and gain confidence from that.
“I love playing in football matches where we need to win. Those are the games you want to be involved in. It’s important we take confidence from parts of yesterday.”
