The Women’s World Cup is fast approaching and with it comes a lot of excitement and anticipation. The England Lionesses have been preparing for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand and have a strong squad of experienced players. One of the biggest talking points leading up to the tournament has been the captaincy and who will lead the team in Leah Williamson’s absence.
Millie Bright, who has just won her fourth successive Women’s Super League title with Chelsea, will be taking on the captaincy role for the tournament. But while Leah was captain, she didn’t dictate absolutely everything inside the team. The image we paint of a captain is almost as a ‘saviour of England’, but this is not the case.
England have a number of leaders within their squad, such as Keira Walsh in midfield, who dictates more of what the team does in a game than anyone else. Millie Bright is an experienced player at international level and is more than capable of taking on the captaincy role.
The pressure is on for the Lionesses as they go into the tournament as European champions. Opinions about how they will do at the tournament seem to be mixed but they are not paying much attention to that. They are focusing on themselves and are determined to win the World Cup.
Sarina Wiegman, the manager of the team, is keeping them level and the mindset stays the same as it always has. The team have had to cope without some key players this year, such as Beth Mead and Fran Kirby, but they have still managed to remain unbeaten in all but one game.
The team are ready and not worrying about anyone else, only themselves. Australia may be feeling a lot of pressure as co-hosts, but England are not underestimating any of their opponents in the tournament. The US are still a formidable force and should not be written off.
The Lionesses are ready to take on the Women’s World Cup and have a strong squad of experienced players with a number of leaders within it. Millie Bright is more than capable of taking on the captaincy role and England are determined to win the tournament.
