She punched the air when it was over and she had brought this England team home. There were two foot races with Esther Gonzalez in the first half and Bright won both. This had broadly been only a procession and a carnival for the host nation. How a rearguard made up entirely of right-footed players will contend against sides of technical passing quality.

Millie Bright on England's progress and bravery – interview (UEFA.com)

The England defender talks to UEFA.com about defensive stability, developing her game and the team's rapport with the Lionesses' fans.

For us, it's knowing what we're capable of but always keeping two feet on the ground, knowing that we've still got new levels to go to and respecting the opponents that we come up against.
