Keira Walsh, an English midfielder, claims that under Sarina Wiegman as manager, she feels more accountable on the field.
She helped Barcelona keep their league title by winning the Women’s Champions League in her first season there.
Sarina has been pressuring me to take responsibility, Walsh said.
“Perhaps it’s just a little more coaching and picture-solving on the field.” She wants me to get better at it, even though I wouldn’t say I’m the loudest so it comes naturally to me.
She places more pressure on us on the field and encourages the more seasoned players to coach a little. She is more than happy for us to assist and find solutions if we experience things that she is unable to.
It’s nice to have that responsibility and to be pushed in that direction. She is always willing to let others choose for themselves. ” “
At Manchester City, I was accustomed to it.
Widespread praise has been given to Walsh’s success, but opponents are now aware of her advantages and frequently change their strategies to eliminate her.
She says she experienced this in the Euros when England beat Sweden in the semi-finals, before victory against Germany in the final at Wembley.
Walsh played the full 90 minutes in the Lionesses’ 1-0 victory over Haiti in their opening Women’s World Cup match on Saturday and the midfielder often had two players marking her.
Walsh continued, “I was accustomed to it in Manchester City, and it frequently occurred in the Women’s Super League [WSL].
“I don’t always believe it’s just me,” Since teams now play through midfield, I believe many teams are attempting to stop holding middlemen in general.
