00:00Hola, bienvenidos a muchos de ustedes, gracias por acompañarnos en el final de hoy de la Eurofinal contra España.
00:11Un poco de punto de vista para empezar, hay tantas personas en la sala,
00:16así que le pedimos que quede una pregunta per persona, una pregunta per persona.
00:20Hay una simultánea traducción en play,
00:25así que si hayan preguntas de la media internacionales, son muy bienvenidos.
00:32Y a aquellos que no se están familiarizando,
00:35por favor introducirse con su nombre y outlet.
00:39Vamos a tomar preguntas de la mesa, y vamos a empezar con Anton, de Sky Sports.
00:49Hola, bienvenidos a ver.
00:52Serena, vamos a empezar con lo que vimos en training,
00:54y eso fue Lauren James.
00:56¿Has llegado a la sesión? ¿Es ella disponible?
00:58Y a ustedes dos, ¿qué tipo de impacto puede que ella tenga si es disponible?
01:03Sí, tuvimos 23 jugadores en la playa hoy, y todo vino.
01:07Así que si todo lo recoversa bien, tenemos 23 jugadores disponibles para mañana.
01:11¿Qué fue tu otra pregunta?
01:13¿Qué tipo de impacto?
01:13Oh, impacto.
01:14Sí, creo que tenemos muchos jugadores que pueden impactar,
01:16y sabemos que ella puede tener un impacto también,
01:18así que sería genial.
01:21¿Vale?
01:21¿Vale?
01:22¿Vale?
01:23¿Vale?
01:23¿Vale?
01:24Sí, no, yo solo echo lo que Sweeney dice.
01:29Creo que tenemos un equipo de jugadores talentosos,
01:31Lauren brings algo un poco diferente,
01:34como los otros,
01:35así que obviamente tener que disponible es un mejor escenario para nosotros.
01:40Martínez, de NRK de Norueva.
01:43Elatún habló ayer sobre su speechos antes de competencias,
01:46y la importancia de lo que dices a los jugadores antes de los jugadores importantes.
01:51¿Cuál es tu proceso cuando planeas lo que dices a los jugadores?
01:55¿O lo que dices en el lugar?
01:59No, no.
02:01Creo que lo que quiero decir, pero eso viene bastante early, antes de empezar.
02:07Así que es como se siente y lo que creo que debería decir.
02:12Gracias.
02:13Vamos a tomar una pregunta de Jane Dugal, BBC News.
02:16Hi, both.
02:19Lea, to you first, please.
02:21There have been several close calls throughout the tournament, of course,
02:25where we've been terrified that England were going to go home.
02:29But there's a saying that the best teams peak at the right time.
02:32Has that been the plan all along?
02:35Yeah, it was all part of the plan.
02:37It's making fans got their money's worth.
02:41I think you grow in a tournament and we're aware of that.
02:46I think the most important thing for us is, as the game goes on,
02:52taking advantage of the work that we've done at the start.
02:55And I think in every game, I know that we've left it late,
02:57but I think that's been the case.
02:58You know, every team is hard to beat and every team poses a different threat and challenge.
03:04And we have to stay in it for as long as possible until we can take advantage of that.
03:08So hopefully your saying will be true and the best is yet to come.
03:14But yeah, definitely not the plan.
03:16We'd like to wrap the games up a little earlier and a little easier if we could have done.
03:22Same question?
03:23Yeah, well, the same answer.
03:25Of course, you want to do well.
03:27You don't want to make it a nerves-wracking game.
03:29But it also shows what the competition is and has been over this tournament.
03:35I think the women's game, I say that all the time, improving so much.
03:39And it's so competitive.
03:41And every game is a hard game.
03:45And I'm just really glad that we made it through.
03:48And I hope, of course, I hope we had done it a little bit earlier.
03:50But it's also when you are in some scenarios or some situations, you hope you can turn it around with some subs, with a little shape change.
04:01But also the most important thing is that the players believe that we can win and we can change the game.
04:09And that's what we've shown.
04:11Thank you.
04:12We'll go to Rob Harris at Sky News, please.
04:17Hi, good luck.
04:18Leah, what does it mean to you personally to have the chance to be able to lift a trophy again?
04:23And can you grasp just what this means for the nation?
04:27I think we're very connected to what it means to the nation.
04:32And in that sense, we're as connected as we can be being away from home.
04:36I think the opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football.
04:45We came to the tournament.
04:46We wanted to be here.
04:47We wanted to be in it till the end and have a chance to fight for that trophy.
04:50And you can't do that until you get into the final.
04:52So I think we don't necessarily carry the weight of it and how much it means to people.
05:01But we're aware of it because it means the same to us.
05:04So you have a squad of excited players, focused players.
05:08And like I say, we recognise the opportunity and we'll do everything we can to take it.
05:13Thanks.
05:15Thanks, Robert.
05:16We'll go to Tom Gary at the Guardian.
05:17Thank you.
05:18Good afternoon, Leah.
05:19You made a lot of history as a team already.
05:21But there's a bit of history on the line in that you could be the first England senior team to win a trophy on foreign soil.
05:26I'm wondering what that would mean to you as captain.
05:28But also, can you articulate for us how it's differed being abroad compared to the feeling when you were approaching that Wembley final three years ago?
05:35I think the beautiful thing about 22 was that I'm not sure any of us will ever be part of anything like that ever again in terms of the change, in terms of the story, the journey, everything.
05:51Being away from home is special in a different way.
05:55You know, you go out to represent your country somewhere else and I think the weight of that is important to consider because it sometimes adds a little extra.
06:10But I think the history on the line is, it seems that every time this team sort of enter a new year, there's so much to be done and could be done.
06:23And I think that that is a real, it's a real privileged time to be part of this team and to be involved.
06:28And again, the opportunity that's there to be the first this and the first that all the time for us is a huge motivator, but more just because we know what it would do for women's football and continue the legacy that we, you know, we've already started.
06:45Good luck.
06:46Thank you.
06:46So much, Tom.
06:47Go to Flo Lloyd-Hughes at the Cutback.
06:49Hi, Serena.
06:50A question for you.
06:51In 2022, there was so much discussion around having to get England over the line and fans singing football's coming home.
06:59I think we've only heard it maybe once for about 30 seconds before the Italy game.
07:03So do you feel less pressure now as England head coach all this time when you've had major finals already compared to in 2022?
07:11I think every tournament, of course, you want to perform and there's expectations, but you also have expectations for yourself.
07:19I just know that going into a final is already very, very special and making the final.
07:27Yeah, there's only two teams that can make the final.
07:29So if you talk about pressure, that's not really a pressure.
07:33It's very special.
07:34And when you go to a final, you really want to win it too.
07:36So that's how I'm in this.
07:39We're happy that we're in the final and we really want to win it.
07:42And we're going to do everything to make that happen.
07:44Thank you.
07:46Aisha Galassi from Haters.
07:48Hi, Leah.
07:50Just here.
07:51Thank you.
07:52Sorry.
07:53That's all right.
07:54You touched on it there a little bit that we saw such an incredible legacy back home on the back of the Euro 2022 win.
08:02What do you hope the legacy can be on the back of this 2025 tournament reaching another final and hopefully winning?
08:10I think the consistency of the girls.
08:12Obviously, I wasn't involved in 2023 and I think the consistency and the landscape keeps changing and we're trying to change with it.
08:22And I think that's a really hard thing to do.
08:24And I think that proves the investment and the quality of the game in England is continuing to rise.
08:34And I hope that us staying in, you know, you don't just want to be sort of a flash in the pan and like a memory.
08:40And I think that when we spoke before 22, we wanted to, we said it was the start of something.
08:45And I think this is, we're still trying to play our role in that as well.
08:49So being here and being on this stage is, we know how powerful that is.
08:53And I hope that it continues, it just continues and it continues to grow.
08:57And the respect for the women's game, the respect for women and women's sport in general continues to, you know,
09:04we can try our best to continue to elevate that.
09:07Thank you. Good luck.
09:07Thank you.
09:08Thank you.
09:09Kit Sheppard at the Times.
09:10Hi, Leah.
09:11First of all, how is your ankle that you hurt against Sweden and kind of related to that?
09:17As players coming to the end of a long season, how much more pain are you willing to play through when it comes to a game as big as this?
09:25I can speak for every single member of the squad when I say we would play, as long as we get the green light,
09:30we would play through absolutely anything and to be involved on this stage.
09:35My ankle is great.
09:36My mum actually rolled her ankle a couple of days ago, so she's taken all the attention away from me now.
09:44But no, I had a scare.
09:45Obviously, I want to be involved and I want to be available to help the team any way they need me.
09:50But yeah, obviously played that game, the semi-final, I'm ready to go tomorrow.
09:54Thanks.
09:54Thank you.
09:55Thank you, Emma Sanders at BBC.
09:58Hi, both.
09:58Good luck for tomorrow.
10:00And for you, obviously, Spain are world champions and given the fact that they haven't lost a game in this tournament,
10:05some people have written off England throughout the tournament.
10:07I'd imagine some will write you off tomorrow and say that you're underdogs.
10:10What would you say to that?
10:13I think tomorrow we play a game against the world champions who continue to prove themselves over and over in the way that they play football.
10:19They're a fantastic footballing team.
10:21They're the best at what they do.
10:24And we're very much aware of that.
10:26We think that we're pretty good in some areas as well.
10:29So we need to be at our best to beat Spain.
10:32I think they need to be at their best to beat us too.
10:35But I don't think, I think there's a lot of respect between the two teams and I'd be hesitant to rule a clear underdog in this scenario.
10:44But ultimately, like I said, we go in against the world champions tomorrow.
10:48That's not an easy, easy job.
10:50And yeah, we'll be as ready as, we'll prepare ourselves as best we can for that challenge.
10:57Thanks Emma.
10:59We're going to cut Lucas at the eye.
11:01Thank you.
11:03Hi Leah.
11:04Two years ago you watched the World Cup final in the stadium but on the sidelines.
11:09Can you just talk us through the emotion of that and the night before that game, how you were feeling and how that compares to now?
11:15It was awful.
11:20Do you know that, I mean, I think once you're part of a team, being on the outside and I know how tired you are when you get to that stage
11:27and how much a tournament takes out of you and to be completely useless, that probably bothered me the most.
11:35But to sit with the families, knowing what they go through, and that actually makes me reflect on this tournament
11:42and we haven't been very kind to them at all.
11:45But it's, yeah, I think that that feels like a really long time ago, which is probably a benefit for the whole squad.
11:53But yeah, anybody would give anything to be part of their team when they're going through moments like that.
11:57So it was tough.
11:59The only plus was sitting next to Jill, I suppose, and sharing it with somebody who knew what it felt like.
12:04Thank you.
12:05And Serena, same to you.
12:06I mean, what does it mean to have Leah fit and available for you as your captain?
12:09Yeah, of course. I'm very happy with that.
12:13And as I'm very happy that we have 23 plays available for tomorrow.
12:19And yeah, Leah has a big role in the team.
12:22So it's really nice to have her on the pitch.
12:24Thank you.
12:25Thank you.
12:26We'll go to Sophie Gowney at Goals on the Ball.
12:28Right at the back, please.
12:29Thank you.
12:31Thanks so much.
12:34Hey, just a question for you both.
12:36Obviously, a weird quirk of this schedule has been that you've faced Spain twice in the last six months.
12:42So I guess, what was the biggest learnings from those ones?
12:44And is it a good thing that you kind of have that experience now?
12:49Well, I think, yeah, we've played with each other a lot over the last couple of years.
12:53Also comes, of course, with the Nations League, how that's set up.
12:56I think you always have learnings.
12:58They will learn from us and we will learn from them in the games we've played.
13:03And tomorrow is a new situation where we have an opportunity to hopefully take out their strengths a bit
13:10and exploit some of the weaknesses we think they have too.
13:13Yeah, I think, obviously, it's hard because you don't want to get too, you can't focus on the last game too much,
13:22whatever that may be.
13:23So we look at Spain this tournament.
13:26I'm sure they've looked at us in the same way.
13:28And tomorrow is a new game and I'm sure we'll present new challenges.
13:32Thank you.
13:33Thank you.
13:34We'll go to Charlotte Harper at The Athletic.
13:38Can I pass that through?
13:42Thank you.
13:42Hi, Serena.
13:44Hi, Leah.
13:44Question for Leah.
13:45Leah, you said Kira Walsh keeps taking the mick out of you because every tournament you go to,
13:52you have a new hobby and you don't follow through with it.
13:54Yeah.
13:54So what's your hobby this tournament or hobbies?
13:57And at Euro 2022, you refuse to pack your suitcase until after the final.
14:01Have you packed at all during this tournament or is there a moment we like, sugar,
14:06everything's out on the floor and we're going home?
14:09No, it'll be the same fashion as the last one.
14:11They almost have to remove me from a tournament.
14:13No packing has happened.
14:16And I don't know what you're going to say because she takes the mick at me for everything,
14:19let alone having a new hobby.
14:21But I suppose this time I did bring like a portable keyboard and I felt discouraged because I heard
14:29that some of the other girls in the team had been playing theirs and I felt like I was too far behind.
14:33So I just sort of left it, played it a couple of times.
14:36But there's so much socializing to be done.
14:38I don't have time for hobbies.
14:39So another hobby not quite followed.
14:41No, no, but that will be picked up when I get back.
14:43And Charles, my piano teacher, I think Casey hears that as well.
14:49Thanks very much.
14:49All the best for tomorrow.
14:50Thank you.
14:51Thanks, Charlotte.
14:51We'll go to Susie Rack at The Guardian, please.
14:54Thank you.
14:54Hey, both.
14:57Leah, obviously there's been a bit of talk about various records and things.
15:02You could potentially lift a second major tournament trophy as England captain,
15:06which would be a huge milestone.
15:08And also do a club and international double European trophy-wise within the space of two months.
15:15How much do you reflect on sort of these personal milestones and what it would mean to you?
15:19I think they're the things that maybe when you step away from football and later down the line,
15:27maybe you look back.
15:28But for now, I don't know.
15:31I don't play.
15:32I play a team sport.
15:33I think for all of us, all 23, you share it.
15:37You feel like you share those things.
15:39And somebody has to wear an armband.
15:43Somebody has to do the role.
15:45But we don't necessarily, I think we all just feel it together.
15:51And it's less of an I-one-ness and more a we always.
15:55So, of course, there'll be lovely things to talk about later down the line.
16:00And if you want to look at success that way, I would probably say that success to me is happiness in your circumstance and your company.
16:09And I think that's more important than those things to me anyway.
16:13Good luck.
16:14Thank you.
16:14Thanks, Susie.
16:15We'll go to Tash Daly at TalkSport, please.
16:18Thanks.
16:21Best of luck to both of you tomorrow.
16:23Serena, a bit of an odd one, but I want to get into your head.
16:26Because I think, yeah, I think that there's been many a times this tournament where all of us probably in this room with minutes to go,
16:33having heart attacks, you know, thinking that you're going home and you just always seem so calm and cool on the sideline.
16:38And really in those moments, is a lot of your decision making instinctive?
16:42Is any of it pre-planned?
16:44Can you just kind of give us so that hopefully, hopefully it doesn't go like that tomorrow, but when we are all having heart attacks, we exactly know what's going through your head.
16:51At first, I'm having a heart attack too.
16:53I just don't show it.
16:54No, yes, well, we want to be best prepared.
16:58So that's in our style of play, but also we're trying to prepare on what can happen in the game and what do we need.
17:05And that's also how the squad is built.
17:07So on the 5th of June, we had a squad announcement and then we figured out, OK, what play we might need in certain circumstances if we want to change things.
17:18And that's what we talk about all the time.
17:20And that's how we prepare for a game.
17:23So we have spoken through all the scenarios, but then during the game, then it's a sense of what you feel you think is necessary.
17:31And, of course, there's continuous contact with the technical staff on the bench, but also with the staff in the stands who inform us about everything.
17:39So what we want to do is when we want to change, we can make a decision very quick.
17:44So we can all relax tomorrow now, guys.
17:47I hope so.
17:49Thanks, Tash.
17:49We'll take a question from there.
17:51Florian Paco from Bleak in Switzerland.
17:54Tomorrow, Hannah Hampton will probably have a lot to do.
17:57How do you describe her tournament and how important is she in the group?
18:03Yeah, well, I hope she will not be too busy tomorrow.
18:07But, yes, of course, she is in a very good way on her journey.
18:12This is her first major tournament that she is a starting goalkeeper and she's done really well, I think.
18:17And I hope she can show that tomorrow, too.
18:21Thank you.
18:22We'll go to Good Morning Bresden in the middle of the run.
18:25Thanks.
18:27Hiya.
18:29Massive good luck from all of us for you tomorrow.
18:33There's been some outcry from a significant number of fans about a good luck message from the Royal Family that was posted ahead of the finals.
18:42It includes a picture of the entire squad, but it's missing Michelle Adjumang.
18:47I was curious to see if you both had any comment to the fans that might be upset about it.
18:52Yeah, I think that would never, ever be intentional.
18:58I think the message from the Royal Family is that they really, really support us and we really, really appreciate that.
19:05And they support every single player and staff member.
19:08So, I hope that everyone really appreciate that.
19:12And, yeah, so, yeah, it's unfortunate.
19:16I think that she's not on that picture then, is what you said.
19:19But there's all good intentions.
19:23Thank you.
19:24Catherine Basset from The Telegraph.
19:27Hi.
19:28Question for Leah.
19:28A lot has been talking about this never-say-die attitude that England have shown to get here.
19:33And it reminded me of a quote you used in 2022 about nobody wins, afraid of losing.
19:38And I wondered kind of how important that's been in terms of not letting fear take over, but staying calm in the biggest moments.
19:45I think that's the main thing you can, if you're fearful of losing, then even if you win, do you enjoy that experience?
19:54Do you fully take it in?
19:56Do you give everything that you have or are you expending energy in the wrong way?
20:00And I think this team is so task-focused and so, I don't know, you know, like whatever's in our way, then we'll try and overcome that together.
20:12I don't think we're a team fearful of losing.
20:14I think football can, anything can happen and there's so much out of your control.
20:18We focus on being the best people we can to each other, performing the best that we can, and hopefully that gives you the result that you want.
20:28But definitely not fearful of losing, because it does, you expend energy in ways that, yeah, you don't want to, you don't want to.
20:38Thanks, Catherine.
20:39I'll go to Tom Victor at the Daily Mirror.
20:42Thanks.
20:43Hi, both.
20:44Leah, we heard from Eletoom yesterday talk about the challenge of being off the pitch for the penalty shootout against Sweden, not being able to kind of contribute.
20:53I just wanted to, obviously you were off the pitch for that moment as well and for the end of the Italy game.
20:59And I want to know how that compares to 23 when you were not playing as much of a part and what it says about the other leaders in the squad in those moments.
21:08Yeah, same sort of feeling.
21:11Obviously your role becomes slightly redundant, but there's still ways that you can affect the team.
21:17We have a big process for those moments, so even if you're off the pitch, you have a role to play.
21:22So it's maybe easier than being in the stands.
21:25Also because you get to run on and celebrate with the team when they do well.
21:29But I think we have so many leaders in so many different ways that you have your real conventional ways of leadership that people would recognise.
21:37And then I think you have people that offer certain things in certain moments and they know that that's their bag, so to speak.
21:45And they really step up.
21:46And I think we have a lot of those characters that maybe we've created a good environment for those people to feel comfortable enough to do it.
21:52But I do feel like everybody really knows when they can really sort of step up and contribute.
22:00And they have done.
22:02Thanks.
22:02Good luck, Tamara.
22:03Thank you.
22:04Thanks, Tom.
22:05We'll just take a question.
22:07Hello.
22:08Hello.
22:08I'm Siany Dalma from L'Equipe, the French newspaper.
22:12I read an excellent article in The Guardian that says that the team which play is semi-final in first has an advantage to win the final.
22:21Did you know that?
22:23And did you read this article?
22:24And what do you think about that?
22:26I don't know.
22:27Can you tell us?
22:31Tom, you got...
22:33I don't want anything.
22:36Oh.
22:37Okay.
22:38I think I understand your question.
22:41Well, what we just...
22:43So we played the semi-final first.
22:45What we just really enjoyed is that we had an extra day of rest after a very intense group stage where we had only three days in between every game towards the quarterfinal.
22:57So we really used that extra day off and hopefully that will help us tomorrow.
23:02We'll take a question in the middle, in the middle row.
23:11Great.
23:13Good afternoon both.
23:15I'm Maria Ticas from the Aria Sport in Barcelona.
23:17One question for Leah.
23:19I have to ask you in Spanish.
23:20How is it to play with Mariona now that you know her, your teammates, and if you have talked with her about this final?
23:28Thank you.
23:28I think Mariona is an exceptional player.
23:32I've loved her being my teammate at Arsenal.
23:37Especially in my position, I normally just get to stand and watch her magic.
23:41Hopefully not tomorrow.
23:43But no, I haven't spoken to her and I do miss her actually.
23:47So I'm looking forward to the end of the game when we're all friends again.
23:52But yeah, no, she's an exceptional footballer, a good person.
23:55I'm very happy that she is my teammate.
23:57And tomorrow, hopefully there's other players that play with her as well.
24:01So hopefully that will come to our advantage.
24:04Thank you.
24:05Thank you.
24:06We've got time for one final question.
24:07We'll go to the back.
24:09Spanish media at the back.
24:11Thank you.
24:16Hi, Sarah Gutierrez from the Spanish National Radio.
24:18I would like to ask you the same question for both, which is how do you spend the last hours before the final game?
24:24I don't know if you prefer just to disconnect, forget about football or just be focused on the final game.
24:29Thank you.
24:30I basically do every match day the same.
24:36So I relax.
24:38Don't do that much right before the game.
24:41Just get prepared.
24:42And we are prepared because all the preparation has been done at that time.
24:46And I'm just waiting till the game starts.
24:47Are we playing Monopoly, deal with the girls and having a nap?
24:54Always.
24:55Anybody that has ever played with me knows that that has to happen.
25:00Great.
25:00Thank you so much for your time.
25:02Appreciate some people still wanted to ask some questions, but we've run out of time.
25:06So we'll see many of you tomorrow.
25:07Thank you.
25:07Thank you, guys.
25:08Thank you.
25:08Thank you.
