Do Agyemang & Kelly deserve to start Euros final?

Not for the first time, Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly proved to be England's Lionesses looked to be heading out of Euro 2025 as they trailed Italy 1-0 one minute left of added time in Tuesday's then the narrative was altered dramatically, as 19-year-old Agyemang scored in the 96th minute to take the game to extra time before Kelly drove home the rebound from her saved penalty to seal victory. It was another impressive comeback that was masterminded by the same players who helped rescue England's hopes in their quarter-final against as Sarina Wiegman begins to ponder how she will set up her side for Sunday's final against either Germany or Spain, should the attacking duo be promoted to the starting line-up? Or is it risky to change what has become a successful formula? 'Don't fix what isn't broken' There is a sense of deja vu about the role Kelly and Agyemang are Euro 2022, regular substitutes Alessia Russo and Ella Toone featured in all six games from the bench. Toone scored twice - including in the final - while Russo netted four goals, the most of any substitute at a women's European has made a point of highlighting her "finishers" - the players she brings on at the end of a game. For the England manager, they are as much a part of the equation as those who England striker Rachel Daly said Wiegman has "got it right so far" with her team selection."It's working. Don't fix what isn't broken," she said on the Daly Brightness podcast."People will call out 'start them' but there is so much to be said for people who can come on and make a difference. It's really difficult to do."Agyemang's stats at Euro 2025 are impressive. She averages 6.1 shots per 90 minutes, compared with Russo's 2.9 - although the magnitude of the difference is partly explained by England chasing games against tiring opposition when the young forward has come 15.17 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes are also the most of any England thoughts have been echoed by former Lionesses goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain, who said Wiegman "loves to stick with what she knows"."I don't think Sarina Wiegman's going to change her team at all. If those 11 players are fit then those 11 players will start the final," she said on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast."England play the game for their substitutes, Alessia Russo and Ella Toone were the ones in the last Euros. This year she's got the same. "She's got her trusted 11. There have been a couple of tweaks but not much, and she knows she has talent to come off the bench and change the game when she needs it." Wiegman has to 'rip the script up' There is an opposing view, though - one that is partly fuelled by how much football the regular starting line-up have England midfielder Karen Carney highlighted the fact the Lionesses have had back-to-back games that have gone to extra just one change between the Sweden and Italy knockout games - Esme Morgan replacing Jess Carter - bringing in Agyemang and Kelly for the final would add fresh legs to a squad that could be Agyemang, Aggie Beever-Jones and Beth Mead make up four of the five substitutes who have been involved in the most goals at Euro 2025."I do think now with how many minutes the starting XI have continually played, I think that freshness is the most important thing," Carney said on ITV."Germany are powerhouses, Spain are the technical team, I do think she has to look at the squad and rip that script up slightly. I do think we need fresh legs to start."Plan A is isn't working, Plan B is magnificent. I want to make Plan A work more so I think with her changes in the starting XI, we have to have fresh energy in that team." Should Kelly & Agyemang start final? Fans' verdict Annabel: Agyemang and Kelly are injections of energy rather than lasting all game and Michelle is still only a teenager. I think they will be more hyped in the second half to be subbed on - maybe a bit earlier than last game! Greenwood, Mead, Toone, Hemp and Alessia would be Kelly should 100% start. She has the technical ability, and she puts in good crosses. I would still have Agyemang on the bench as an impact sub, but Beever-Jones should start up top with Russo. Well done girls, your mentality won the game!Jamie: Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang should start on the bench in the final... the first 60 minutes are not as important as the last 60 minutes, when they will probably be needed the I think you have to start Kelly in front of Hemp and keep Morgan in place of Carter. Le Tissier for Stanway? I'd keep Agyemang on the bench, but bring her on after 60 minutes if things aren't working.

England teammates sing praises of young saviour Agyemang

GENEVA, July 23 (Reuters) - England's newest hero Michelle Agyemang had her teammates singing her praises after her last-gasp equaliser saved the defending champions from certain elimination, saying the sky is the limit for the 19-year-old. Three months after she made her senior team debut, and four years removed from being a ball girl for her now teammates, Agyemang struck in the sixth minute of stoppage time against Italy on Tuesday en route to a 2-1 victory in extra time, the second consecutive game she has saved England at the brink. The Lionesses meet either Spain or Germany in the final on Sunday. "She's an unbelievable player and she's got the world at her feet, a young player with a bright future and I'm absolutely buzzing for her," said Chloe Kelly, who smashed home the rebound of her own penalty kick in extra time to secure the victory. Agyemang is a skilled bulldozer of a striker with a nose for the net and no fear of battling for possession. "You see it when she comes on," England defender Lucy Bronze said. "Defenders are petrified of her." "She feels inevitable right now," added captain Leah Williamson. A ball girl at Wembley for an England World Cup qualifier in 2021, Agyemang made her England senior debut three months ago against Belgium, scoring 41 seconds after she ran onto the pitch, the first of three goals in four caps. She said being mobbed by her teammates on Tuesday "will live in my heart forever". "It means the world to me. I'm so grateful," she added. "Four years ago I was a kid just throwing a ball to some of these girls and now I'm playing with them. It's a great opportunity and I'm so happy I am here." England coach Sarina Wiegman was certainly happy with her youngest Lioness on Tuesday. Agyemang, who also scored a late equaliser in their quarter-final win over Sweden, almost secured the victory in extra time at Stade de Geneve when her cute lob from a tight angle came back off the crossbar. "She has something special. She's only 19 years old, she's very mature, she knows exactly what she has to do," Wiegman said. "When we have to go to her as a target player, she keeps the ball really well. Even when you saw her hit the crossbar, that was not just a shot, she was aiming for it. If she continues like this she has a very bright future." Agyemang's impact in England's two knockout games now has fans wondering whether the teenager will see more of the pitch in the final. Sunday's match in Basel marks the third consecutive final appearance in a major tournament for England, while Wiegman is the first coach in men's or women's football to reach five consecutive finals.

England star reveals Chloe Kelly's two-word message before crucial penalty in Euro 2025 semi-final vs Italy

ALEX GREENWOOD has opened on her conversation with Chloe Kelly prior to the England star's crucial late penalty in last night's win over Italy. The Lionesses booked their place in Sunday's Euro 2025 final by squeezing past the Italians in Geneva. 4 Sarina Wiegman 's side had trailed for much of the match courtesy of Barbara Bonansea's 33rd minute opener. But England were bailed out by teenage sensation Michelle Agyemang's last-gasp leveller with 96 minutes on the clock. And they were then presented with the chance to win the match late on in extra time, when Beth Mead was brought down in the box. Having come off the bench, Kelly took the crucial spot kick. The 27-year-old's penalty was initially saved, only for Kelly to calmly slot home the rebound and send England into the final. After the match, England star Greenwood gushed over Kelly - revealing the two-word message that the Arsenal ace gave her ahead of the spot kick. The defender, 31, said: "That takes a lot of courage to step up to take that. "I asked her, she had no doubt in her mind, she was confident enough to take it. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 4 "All of our penalty takers were off, so who was left was probably me or Chloe. I missed the pen in the (Sweden) game, in the shootout, Chloe scored hers comfortably, so they (manager Sarina Wiegman and No2 Arjan Veurink) said, 'It's up to you, you or Chloe'. "I asked her, I looked at her and said, 'What do you think?' She said, 'I'm confident'. "That's enough for me. I don't need to ask her again. She's confident enough to take it, so she did. "She's great. She's brilliant. I mean, she came on, she caused them massive problems, she did the other day. She scores a penalty. "The way she carries herself off the pitch, I've not got enough good words to say about her." Boss Wiegman later added: "I think Chloe thrives on these moments. She's excited about them, she loves those moments. You can tell. "We always had the opportunity to bring fresh players on who bring a lot of quality. "We ended up with more players up front, which was necessary because it was a wall we had to find a hole in. They did really good. "When you go a goal down and have to come from behind against Italy, you know you have a problem. "We had some serious challenges. We didn't play well in the first half, we had a lot of the ball but we didn't have the energy. "The second half was better but they defended really well, and there wasn't much space in the final third." The Lionesses will face either Spain or Germany in Sunday's final, with the two heavyweight nations set to meet in tonight's second semi. 4
