There are plenty of players who are having to play through pain in their career and Im now Braxton Berrios Jersey one of them.I dont feel like I did a couple of years ago. The Lucy Bronze of a couple of years ago was the best player in the world.Its been difficult to come back from a knee injury which has lingered for a very long time and still is now.Bronze added: The goals and a sists are not something I consider a major part of my game.Id much rather the likes of Beth and Ellen White and Hempo Lauren Hemp get on the scoresheet. I enjoyed it, though. Id not scored in a Euros.Im still happy to be contributing to the team, still playing good football, obviously getting an a sist for Beth Mead and getting her up there to get the Golden Boot.

We dont want to get carried away too much and shes one of those people that is very proce s-driven.Shes very excited, but once the games done were on to the next game. We dont get carried away with our emotions but on and off the field we still enjoy the game and still enjoy the moment at the right time.
