Sarina Wiegman: ‘This will be a completely different match’ | Football

sport">“They scored a lot and so did we. They have a good vanguard, but defensively they drop a few stitches. So we definitely see opportunities”, said Wiegman two days after the energetic start; Zambia was defeated 10-3 on Wednesday. Brazil also started with a convincing win over China (5-0).

sport">“It is one of the oldest teams in the tournament and they have a lot of experience. The players like to be on the ball and are agile. It is a team that is always there at final tournaments. Last March we practiced against them at the Tournoi de France (0-0) and then I thought we were the slightly better team. But that wasn’t really about it and then we tried things out.”
