Sarina Wiegman was the mi sing puzzle piece England required to get over the line and win a major tournament, former striker Lianne Sanderson has told Stats Perform.England Women landed their first majortitle on Sunday with a 2-1 victory against Germany at Wembley in the European Championship final.In doing so, Wiegman became the first manager to win the tournament with two different nations, having previously gone all the waywith the Netherlands in 2017.Wiegman, who officially Patrice Bergeron Women Jersey took over as head coach last September, has a record of 12 wins from 12 matches at the Womens Euros.Sanderson herself went close to winning the Nick Holden Men Jersey competition in 2009, a substitute as England tasteddefeat to Germany in the final.The former Arsenal and Chelsea player, who earned 50 caps for her country, believes Wiegman deserves huge credit for helping the Lione ses end their wait for major silverware.I genuinely believe shes themi sing puzzle piece, Sanderson said. Shes done it in back-to-back tournaments, both times on home soil.You have to have the right players, but also the blend of a good manager, and I think shes shown that.A lot of the players said that she didnt really draw upon her experience with the Netherlands, that she wanted to leave it in the past. But the players have been fantastic.Wiegman settled on a winning formula acro s Englands six tournament matches as they became the first team to name the same starting XI in every match.The Dutchwoman regularly got the big calls correct, not least in the final as both goalscorers Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly were introduced from the substitutes bench.Indeed,seven of Englands 22 goals came David Krejci Kids Jersey via substitutes when excluding own goals only Germany (eight in 2009) have scored more in a single edition of the Womens Euros.And in the view of Sanderson, that decision-making is why Wiegman deserves such high praise.Everybody knew their roles and responsibilities, Sanderson said. That was pretty evident. At times, I thought we should mix up the team, like against Northern Ireland.There were times where I thought shed play Alex Greenwood instead of Rachel Daly at left-back . But she Par Lindholm Jersey s the only manager thats kept the same side and that proved the correct call.Last year in the mens Euro 2020 , everybody tried to pick the team. I thought Jack Grealish should be playing, then he didnt play in the final.We always say were all the England manager when it comes to tournaments. But ultimately, thats why they Ryan Spooner Jersey get paid the big money. Thats why theyre in the positions theyre in.I genuinely wish she was there when I was there because I think shes been a major, major catalyst in this. And shes not even been there a year.
