Sarina Wiegman: 'England need to be more ruthless against Germany'

England needs to be ruthless against Germany in their final match of the Arnold Clark Cup tournament, according to their manager.

The Lionesses have played Canada and Spain so far.

Germany, the highest ranked side in the competition, lost to Canada in their second game.

The hardest thing in football is the final touch.

I have seen a lot from the team. We want to take the next step. We want to improve in the different moments of the game.

I thought we created a lot of chances against Spain, but we would really like to score a goal. It doesn't matter who scores the goal as long as we get the goal.

We want to do better in the final third and that is about decision-making, connections and scanning the situation to be ruthless. Hopefully we can show that tomorrow.

England will play their final game of a run of three games in seven days against opposition ranked inside the world's top 10.

It has been positive for England as they continue their preparation for the European Championship and they are still in good shape.

The former Netherlands boss took over in September and said the squad was better than he thought.

I think we are taking steps and developing well. She said that the squad has done well but also with communication and how they talk about football.

When I arrived, I knew the England squad was very good, but it was even better than I thought. The players have a lot of experience and the team has a lot of personality.

I was fortunate to start working with a good team and good players. We want to know more about our style of play. We want to take the next step.

'We love playing against top teams'

England lost to Germany in front of a record-breaking crowd at Wembley in November.

The Germans have won 21 of the 26 meetings between the sides, but the Lionesses have yet to win on home soil.

When asked if Germany were considered one of England's biggest rivals, Bright said everyone is our rival.

She said that it was a good mentality to have because you can't underestimate any team.

Everyone has a strong squad for international football. We want to prepare the same for every game, and we want to beat our opponents.

Germany are without a number of key players because of a Covid outbreak, but they still have some of Europe's best young talents in Jule Brand and Giuila Gwinn.

These are the games we play. You want to play against the best. Bright said you want to play on big stages and have lots of fans.

The tournament has been about developing as a squad. We want to do well. The girls were excited about the tournament.

It has been successful and exciting. We love playing against top teams.
