Wiegman defends England's overseas friendlies

England manager, Sarina Wiegman, defended the Lionesses' decision to play two friendlies overseas in Spain.

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, we spoke a little bit about this on Friday too, because that's finding

00:04 balance. What we wanted to do is play good friendlies in very good

00:08 circumstances. So what we said, we have very good pitches here. The weather is

00:13 also that we can stand still a little bit, have good training sessions

00:19 and good pitches. Yeah, then we did know that probably there would be not as many

00:24 fans here as we had hoped. Of course there were fans Friday and they enjoyed

00:30 it and I hope the fans at home that watched the game enjoyed it too. We'll be

00:34 back in England, so we have games in April, June, July and the rest of the

00:40 season we'll be playing a lot in England. So I hope that connects

00:45 with the fans enough.
