'The next bit of the journey'published at 20:56 British Summer Time 24 June 2022
HT: England 1-1 Netherlands
Leah Williamson, whether she likes it or not, has become the face of England women's football.
Having gone from being a fan and mascot for her beloved Arsenal to a key player for the Gunners, and the first name on the teamsheet for her country, she feels like an impostor.
Her appointment as England captain for this summer's European Championship could have raised eyebrows considering the Arsenal defender's major tournament experience.
She previously had only six minutes as a substitute in the 2019 World Cup in France before landing England's top job.
But the lack of naysayers speaks volumes for the 25-year-old's standing within the game.
"Things have changed a little bit, haven't they?" says Williamson, who was yet to make her senior international debut when the last Euros took place in 2017 but has now made 29 appearancesfor the Lionesses.
"Somebody said to me the other day that if I start that opening game - that would be my first start in a major tournament. Now I'm doing it as captain.
"I've not maybe had the opportunities in the past, but I've been building to be ready for this now. It's the next bit of the journey, that's how I look at it."
