England will need to be fearless in their crucial Group D match against the Netherlands at the Women's Euros on Wednesday, said striker Alessia Russo, who insisted the team's confidence had not wavered since the 2-1 loss to France in their opener.
But forward Alessia Russo said Tuesday that it will be “massively” important to play without fear. “That’s some of the conversations that we’ve had within the team,” Russo added. “We have so many great players and we want everyone to be as free as possible on that pitch tomorrow night and going forward.
