After edging out South Africa in a friendly, manager Sarina Wiegman says 'football is a game of mistakes' and England want to have 'as few of them as possible'.
England manager Sarina Wiegman said "football is a game of mistakes" and her side want to have "as few of them as possible" - but they have learned from this month's friendly matches.Both performances showcased good attacking intent, but also plenty of concerns defensively.
"Football is a game of mistakes, you just want to have as few of them as possible. It’s better to have those mistakes further from goal as possible." "We all know the worldie passes she can do. Everyone gives the ball away, that’s part of football. You never know what has led to those moments," Beattie told BBC Radio 5 Live's Women's Football Weekly podcast.
Earlier this week, Wiegman said England needed to deal with criticism as expectations have grown around her side.
