England reached the Euro 2025 final after defeating Italy 2-1, while Spain faced a lengthy match against Germany. Wiegman mentioned the benefit of an extra day of recovery for her team. This final marks her fifth as a manager in major tournaments, achieving previous success in Euros finals yet experiencing defeats in World Cup finals. Wiegman expressed hope that the extra rest will assist her side during the match, having prepared for different game scenarios.
Wiegman is hoping that her side can use the extra rest to their advantage during the match at St. Jakob-Park in Basel. "We played the first semi-final. We enjoyed an extra day of rest after a very intense group stage, so we really used that extra day off, and hopefully that will help us," said Wiegman.
Both England's quarter-final versus Sweden and semi-final versus Italy at this year's Euros went to extra time, with no nation ever playing three extra-time games in a single tournament.
I just don't show it. We want to be best prepared. We try to prepare on what can happen in the game and what we need to do.
