Wiegman confident England players are well prepared for Swiss temperatures sinking

England director Sarina Wiegman insists that her players are well prepared to increase temperatures in Switzerland, as the lions begin the defense of the Women’s European Championship title this weekend.

England took over France in Zurich on Saturday, with temperatures in the highest 1920s, while Wiegman sought to preserve the trophy they raised in Wembley in 2022.

But if we move on by the so -called death group that forms the Bleu, the Netherlands, who won the competition in 2017 under Wiegman and the debutants of the Welsh tournament, will be a challenge for their squad, the head of England is confident that the heat will not be a problem for its players.

“We could already practice it in the first week of our training field because in England it was also very hot,” said Wiegman, who revealed that the protocols have the team to help handle the game of punishing time.

“We have cold ice towels at the time of rest in the training sessions.

“We make sure we are hydrated. Rest, do not go in and go out all the time, for recovery and do these things to maintain low body temperature.”

In the face of the clash with France, which were semifinals three years ago, Wiegman also revealed that he does not plan to make additional substitutions due to the warm climate.

She added: “When we do it, we do it because it is necessary to change the game or sub -sub -some that has given everything you need to go out, I will not think of managing the heat at that time.

“After this game, we recover and join in a team with the medical, a technician, as everyone comes out of this game and then we advance to the next game against the Netherlands.”

The Leones play in France at their opening of the group on Saturday, with the game it started at 20:00 (Hour of the United Kingdom).
