AIM TO TAME SPAIN: Alessia Russo & Patrick Brough Say England Focused on Their Best Football—Not Revenge for World Cup ‘Hurt’
By [Your Name]
As England prepares to face Spain once again, star forward Alessia Russo has made it clear that their focus is on playing their best football, not seeking revenge for their painful World Cup final loss.
The Lionesses were left heartbroken after a 1-0 defeat to Spain in the FIFA Women’s World Cup final last year. However, as they gear up for another high-stakes encounter, Russo insists that England’s approach is all about performance and improvement rather than looking back at past disappointments.
“We’re not thinking about revenge,” Russo said. “Our focus is on ourselves, on how we can improve, and on playing the best football possible.”
Supporting Russo off the pitch is her boyfriend, Patrick Brough, a professional footballer himself. Brough echoed her sentiments, emphasizing the importance of staying positive and motivated for the upcoming clash.
“This is about growth and moving forward,” Brough said. “Alessia and the entire squad know how talented they are, and they’re focused on showcasing that.”
With England determined to prove their strength and Spain aiming to maintain their dominance, the upcoming match promises to be an intense showdown. But for Russo and the Lionesses, it’s all about the present—and making a statement with their game, not their emotions.
England fans will be eagerly watching as the team takes the field, hoping to see their side rise to the challenge and deliver a performance to remember.
