Coming from behind to beat Spain at Euro 2022 was a tactical masterclass from the England coach Sarina Wiegman on a testing night in Brighton.
But with outstanding form, a system that works and a settled team, this is a very different England team to that of four years ago. In the heat of the midsummer, the best-laid plans of coaches and managers can tend to go out the window during the latter stages of matches, and with the tactical straitjackets of this match having been loosened and the crowd revitalised, the tone of the match switched with the equalising goal. And as the game started to settle down into a scrappy but recognisable pattern, Spain were first to the ball, compact in midfield, and able to snuff out the few half-chances of a break that England were able to muster, while England looked nervy, giving possession away too easily, and looking a little too keen at times to get the ball launched. Within minutes of the kick-off at Brighton, there was little question that this was a different magnitude of challenge to the three matches that England had already played. Against Austria, they had to hunker down against a team that was stronger than most of those with only a passing interest in the women’s game had realised. Because while Fizzer was using an extremely high-profile match – even if it was ‘only’ a friendly – for the larks of fielding his son and his mate’s son, Wiegman was approaching her first major international tournament with a degree of tactical sophistication that would put many men’s teams to shame.
