00:00Wales women's player Rhiannon Roberts has been looking ahead to the women's Euros, which is taking place in Switzerland later on this summer.
00:10That's kind of how I've gone into my games for my club. I've done a lot of defending.
00:16So, yeah, I've just set myself little targets each game and I'm sure that's what other players have been doing at their clubs as well.
00:22And like you said, I'm up against the best players in the world. And what more can you ask for? Because you're going to be up against the best in the Euros campaign too.
00:31And, you know, when people say, oh, your group's really, really tough group. We like it. We love it. Everyone's there's no pressure on us.
00:40We like being the underdog at times and you've got to be the best to be the best.
00:44So, yeah, we've always had that really good foundation defensively. And then when you say when we went into League B, it just gives us that opportunity to work on our attacking side.
00:54And I think now for the next couple of games, it's kind of a mixture of the two.
00:58And we're going to have opportunities in front of goal and we've got to take them.
01:02And we'll be working on that again this week. But defensively, we've been really, really solid.
01:07So now we can we can look and higher up the pitch team.
01:10And Wales men's head coach Craig Bellamy has made clear that goalkeeper Carl Darlow has a burning ambition to play in a major tournament before he calls time on his career with the World Cup next year still to come.
01:26No, he brings experience, but he brings someone who's serious about himself.
01:33And even when I spoke to him, because my mind still wasn't really made up if he was going to come into the squad.
01:42I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it as well. I have to be honest, I needed to see his motivation.
01:50And when he spoke, yeah, he ain't finished yet.
01:56You know, he still has a burning desire to play in a major tournament, to keep himself fit, to keep himself.
02:04You can just see how lean he is. Look at his body like there's a serious professional.
02:09He will carry on for a number of years. Being lucky enough to be a goalkeeper will allow that.
02:14But I don't know if another person could be a good result.
02:32Go away!
