- Asked about work on the game plan since the France defeat, Wiegman said a couple of things came back a lot. She thinks the decision-making on the ball was good, and England exploited the spaces the Netherlands left.
- Asked how hard it had been mentally, Wiegman said it was hard because the consequences were huge. Losing the first game was not the end of the world, but it did not put England in the best position.
- Asked about Hannah Hampton's distribution, Wiegman said she had not looked back but thinks Hampton has two assists, which she called very remarkable. She is really good with both feet.
“…we don't make it a disaster.”
- Asked how she dealt with a first Euros defeat, Wiegman said she found it hard too. She was excited but felt a little tension today as well, which she thinks is completely normal.
- Asked what the player moved into the front line gives there, Wiegman said England made so many turnovers against France. She thinks better decisions today put that player in good positions.
- Asked if the result gives freedom to rest players against Wales, Wiegman said it would be a little complacent to think it does not matter who plays. England need a very good performance, as Wales are very hard to beat.
- Asked why she swapped Alex Greenwood and Jess Carter, Wiegman pointed to the Netherlands' pace and runs in behind. With Greenwood's left foot on the left, England hoped to distribute more going forward.
