Chelsea defender knows she needs to be ‘tight’ and ‘aggressive’ to counter visitors’ attacking threat in second Group A game
Jess Carter knows what happens if the Norwegian forward Caroline Graham Hansen is given too much time and space. In the 2021 Champions League final the England player was a part of the Chelsea defence that was torn to shreds by Graham Hansen’s Barcelona, who were 4-0 up inside 36 minutes.
The Lionesses host Norway in their second group game of the European Championship in Brighton on Monday night and keeping out a formidable front three of Graham Hansen, the Champions League record goalscorer, Ada Hegerberg, and the Chelsea forward Guro Reiten will be critical to England’s hopes of topping Group A.
