Women's Euro 2022: Record crowds, favorites, and which players to watch

16 team tournaments have already sold about 450,000 tickets. This includes 73,200 in England's opening match against Austria in Old Trafford and 87,200 in the Wembley final. It far exceeds the past record of 240,000 set in the Netherlands four years ago. The hype around the

tournament has continued since the season when numerous attendance records were broken across the continent.

In Spain, Barcelona set a new world record for women's matches. 91,648 people faced Wolfsburg against Wolfsburg, who sold out in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, breaking the record since 1999. Women's World Cup final.

A record was also broken in France, with 43,254 fans gathering at Parc des Princes to play against Lyon in the Paris Saint-Germain Champions League semi-finals. In England, 49,094 beat Chelsea, breaking the club's record. Manchester City in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

Sweden is also excited about the start of the Euro 2022. In Sweden, a record 33,218 came out after seeing the national team defeat Brazil in the final warm-up game.

This season has undoubtedly proved that there is a great desire for women's football throughout Europe.

Therefore, it is a surprise that some players and fans think that the UEFA decision to use stadiums such as Manchester City Academy Stadium and Lee Sports Village is too small for such a major tournament. had.

Euro 2022 favorites

England

The host country England is a realistic euro Entering 2022 Chance to win the first major trophy in the history of the national team.

There is no doubt that home advantage in front of a record-breaking British crowd will play that role, but the team has been very impressed under coach Salina Wiefman since his appointment in September 2021. It was a target.

England Remains undefeated under the Dutch Woman who led the Netherlands to glory in the four-year-old championship. Under Wiefman, England scored an astonishing 84 goals, including a record 20-0 victory over Latvia, scoring only three goals.

Lioness continued his impressive buildup in the tournament, beating Weegman's previous team 5-1 before beating Switzerland 4-0.

Forward Lauren Hemp, striker Ellen White and defender Lucy Bronze's talented team can compete with the best players, but the most important issue is what this group expects. Is it possible to deal with the weight of?

The national team has reached the semi-finals in each of the last three major tournaments, but has not reached the finals each time.

The iterations on this side are arguably the most talented of all, and after the men's team reached last year's Euro 2020 final, England fans won the national team in the second Wembley final. I'm optimistic to see. Summer running.

Spain

Bookmakers have Spain as their narrow favorite in tournaments, but this team is a favorite among dark horses. .. The

team had a striking 7-0 rout that slightly weakened Australia in the penultimate warm-up game prior to the tournament after a one-on-one draw with Italy on Friday. I put a marker.

With Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Pteras, Spain is arguably the most talented player in the world and can win the match alone in the moment of personal genius. I'm proud of people.

Spain's rise on the international stage is consistent with Barcelona becoming a national and European powerhouse in the last two seasons. More than nine Barcelona players have joined Jorge Bilda's last 23 player team, which does not mean that the products on the pitch are comparable.

This team can struggle to break the defenses of stronger and more stubborn teams. It is further hampered by the lack of record goal scorer Jennifer Elmoso, who suffered an injury to his knee ligament earlier this month.

Real Sociedad duo Amai Ursariegi and Nerea Eizagile, who scored a total of 33 points in the Primera last season, were absent, which was quite a surprise to the fans of the Spanish national team. Sariegi also scored 11 points. Five World Cup qualifiers.

However, despite the flaws in Spain, few teams enjoy the prospects facing the side of the builder.

Featured player

Alexia Putellas

Spanish superstar Putellas is definitelyNotable name in the euro this summer.

The 2021 Ballon d'Or 28-year-old winner led Barcelona to the full Spanish conquest season as the team secured the domestic treble and slightly missed the Champions League's second straight victory. rice field. Although she finished as the highest scorer in this season's tournament.

Clinical goal scorer and world-class creator, Puteras, is the record holder for the Spanish Women's National Team, one match away from being the first woman to reach the cap of the first century. ..

The midfielder is one of the many technically talented players of the Spanish team, and Putellas will allow Aitana Bonmati and Athens Adelcastillo to thrive in the future. Become an orchestra.

Ada Hegerberg

Opposition defenders should be careful:Ada Hegerberg is back26 years old Has just returned to Norway and the national team in April after five years of absence.

After winning second place in Euro 2013, Norway entered a tournament in the Netherlands five years ago.

However, the team finished at the bottom of the group, and Hegerberg then stopped setting up the national team. Her team experience left her "mentally broken" and she said she was dissatisfied with her view of women's football in Norway.

Hegelberg continues to excel at the club level in Lyon and was named the first femaleBaron d'Or winner in 2018 due to her form

But in January 2020, Hegelberg ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament and set her aside for almost two years.

When she returned in October 2021, she set foot on the ground and helped Lyon regain the title of the French League, which he lost to Paris Saint-Germain last season. She also scored goals and assists to regain the crown from Barcelona in the Champions League final.

One of the deadliest goal scorers in a women's match-her skill in front of the goal is symbolized by a hat-trick in her first match to Norway five years later-Hegel Berg loses time on the international stage shooting to make up for it.

Vivianne Miedema

In the last few years, Vivianne Miedema has been one of the most prolific and feared strikers in football in the world. I became a person.

The Arsenal star, still 25, boasts a stunning 92 goals in 109 Dutch games and is the highest scorer in the Dutch national team's shirt, women's and men's history.

Arsenal's achievements in the Women's Super League-She is currently the highest scorer in league history-Recently she signed a new contract with her to become the UK's highest paid female player. I did.

Midema finished second in the Euro 2017 Golden Boot Race, and she scored four goals, including two in the final, as a Dutch woman won her first major international trophy. It seems likely that she will be one of the top scorers again this time.

Lauren Hemp

In Europe, few players leave their seats like Lauren Hemp.

A tricky winger with fierce pace, magical close control, and an eye for the goal, a 21-year-old player checks every box the attacking player can imagine. ..

Hemp scored 20 goals and 10 assists in 36 Manchester City games last season, setting a fourth record for PFA's Young Female Player of the Year.

This is her national and international form, and Hemp has moved her conversation to the end of being the best player in England because she was the best young player in England. ..

Hergoal against Chelseain the FA Cup Final was what Citi eventually lost, but she zinced the ball inside to her weak right foot. When curled, she showed off all her abilities. Far corner.

Few players have nightmares on enemy defenders like Hemp when participating in this tournament.
