England family took me under their wing – Agyemang

Come to me and I’ll show you the ropes, no matter what.

According to England’s breakthrough Euro 2025 star Michelle Agyemang, the Lionesses are more than just a team.

The 19-year-old Arsenal striker was the youngest member of England’s winning team to defend their European title in Switzerland.

She said Alex Greenwood and players like her made sure they took Agyemang under their wing throughout the tournament, which presented a daunting challenge of integrating into a successful squad.

Greenwood, 31, was England’s youngest World Cup captain at the time, playing for Manchester City. She set the example ten years later.

With 105 caps, she was one of the squad’s most experienced players, making a beeline for the teenager to offer her comfort on camp’s opening day.

Agyemang told BBC Breakfast, “Many of them accepted me because I was the youngest member of the team.” Everyone was so kind and helpful, even though it can be difficult.

Being a Lioness involves both the pitch-side players and the behind-the-scenes teams, who ensure the squad achieves their best potential.

Manager Sarina Wiegman, who won the young player of the tournament award, has received praise for her efforts to make sure the starting XI and the squad players felt just as important as the starting XI. Agyemang, who also received the award, said “everyone is valued.

Everyone is valued in this team, regardless of their roles, the backroom staff, or the staff behind them, according to Agyemang, who continued.

After her happy and exasperating facial expressions were captured on camera during the Lionesses’ most difficult moments, England fans have ensured Agyemang has been the subject of humorous online memes.

Agyemang’s first encounter with a major tournament couldn’t have gone any better, with the outcome being filled with joy as a result.

Agyemang continued, “I am not really that expressive when it comes to emotions.” You can get the most out of me with my facial expressions at times. I’m feeling a lot of gratitude, especially in situations like the win.

“I did shed a little because it was so unbelievable how much everything changed from the opening game to the championship match.” We made it, even though it was challenging, and I was appreciative of God for it.

I was just in disbelief as soon as Chloe’s [Kelly] penalty came in. When Jess Carter gave me a hug, I thought, “What is this, what’s going on?” ‘. It was insane, really.
