“No matter what, come to me and I will show you the ropes.”
The Lionesses are not just a team, but a family according to England’s breakthrough Euro 2025 star Michelle Agyemang.
At 19, the Arsenal striker was the youngest player in the England squad who successfully defended their European crown in Switzerland.
She faced a daunting experience of integrating into a successful squad, but said players like Alex Greenwood made sure they took Agyemang under their wing during the tournament.
Manchester City captain Greenwood, 31, was the youngest member of England’s squad at the 2015 World Cup. Ten years later, she led by example.
As one of the most experienced players in the squad, with 105 caps, she made a beeline for the teenager to offer reassurance on the first day of camp.
“A lot of them took me in because I was the youngest in the team,” Agyemang told BBC Breakfast. “It can be hard sometimes but everyone was so willing to help me.
“They took me under their wing. I have only been around for a short time but they were so loving, kind and caring.”
