In Beever-Jones, Hampton, Russo and James, Sarina Wiegman has a core of quality players in a squad brimful of experienceI would always rather enter a competition as champions than underdogs because you’ve got something to hold on to.

England know how to do it and as the defence of their European title gets under way on Saturday do not underestimate how powerful that feeling is.When you are the holders, the most important thing to get right is your internal hunger and understand you’ve got a target on your back in every fixture.
