Ahead of England’s game against Luxembourg in the FIFA Women’s World cup UEFA qualifiers, the skipper of the English side, Alessia Russo has been in the news today.
For England, the Euros champions are vying for football’s top honor at the World Cup, according to Alessia Russo.
Additionally, the strong forward, who might play against Luxembourg on Tuesday, gave an emotional tribute to one of the retired ex-footballers of the England women’s national team, Ellen White.
Ellen happens to be the current top scorer of all time for the English national team.
For Sarina Wiegman’s high-fliers, the qualification tomorrow night is meaningless because they already qualified for the competition in Australia and New Zealand.
Russo’s nine goals for her country could increase in this match, as the Lionesses destroyed their opponents 10-0 last September.
(The Euros are over,) Russo said to the press in an exclusive interview. (The World Cup qualification process is now over, and Australia is the next leg on the tour, so crossing it off the list is incredibly exciting) she added.
