Hide AdWiegman’s press conference followed, and when she was asked about Sjogren’s comments and if it was fair to say all the pressure was on England, she said: “I don’t think so.
“I think Norway has to win too, to be top of the group. We want to win. It’s easy to say that the pressure is on.
“We know what we want – we want to play our best game, to entertain, and of course to win games. Our next game is tomorrow against Norway, so we want to win that game, and that is what we are talking about – develop our style of play, play our best game, do our best, and then we see what that brings us.”
England defender Millie Bright said: “We know what to expect from these games, it’s tournament football, there’s always going to be pressure, that’s just the element of playing in a major tournament.

Norway danger
The biggest star name in Norway’s squad is Lyon forward Ada Hegerberg, who earlier this year ended a self-imposed exile from her national side, having stepped away from it in 2017 unhappy at how women’s football was being run in the country.
Wiegman said: “We’ve analysed them of course. They have a good team, and they have Hegerberg back. Having a personality and a player like that on big stages is very good, and good for the women’s game.
