00:00 She's the most naturally gifted footballer in the country.
00:06 She does things with very little back lift.
00:08 It's almost like she's getting it out of her feet.
00:12 Lauren is a really, really intelligent footballer.
00:15 Like forget the technical piece, she's really intelligent.
00:18 I think she knows she's got the ability to finish in and around the penalty area.
00:23 I think sometimes she doesn't realise how powerful she is and sometimes you just get
00:27 it on target, you're good enough.
00:29 You don't need to actually put any more leather into it.
00:32 She doesn't understand that.
00:33 She's like, "I'm just hitting it quite normally."
00:36 But finessing her finishing is a challenge set for her.
00:42 I'm really happy for her this week.
