Wiegman describes England’s 4-0 win as a ‘snapshot’: “Oranje’s performance didn’t surprise me” | OneFootball

Sarina Wiegman didn’t want to hear about any major difference in class with the Netherlands after England’s historic 4-0 victory over Oranje. The England manager called it “a snapshot” at the post-match press conference.

“I don’t think the difference is that big. This is just a snapshot,” says Wiegman. “It worked out really well for us. I think we played very well, and the Netherlands, for their standards, didn’t. But I think the Netherlands has a world-class team.”

Wiegman, however, wasn’t surprised by the Orange women’s performance. “It didn’t surprise me. We started really well,” said the former Dutch national coach. “We were able to put pressure on their defense quite quickly, and they really struggled with that.”

The heavy defeat against England leaves the Dutch women stuck on three points, while their opponent is now also on the same. Wiegman and co. lost their first group match to France.

England face Wales on Sunday. The Netherlands’ third group match against France awaits on Sunday evening. The French are on six points after a 4-1 victory over Wales.
