00:00 Lionesses defender Millie Bright certainly had big boots to fill as she
00:05 deputised for the injured England captain Leah Williamson for this World
00:10 Cup. Despite the big responsibility, Bright has certainly grasped the
00:15 opportunity with both hands as England have only conceded three goals on their
00:20 way to the final. Prior to the start of the World Cup, the Chelsea defender spoke
00:25 about the responsibility and pride she would feel whilst wearing the captain's
00:29 own band in Australia.
00:31 Yeah I think there's probably not enough words to describe how you feel as a player.
00:37 Being able to lead your country out at a World Cup, I think it's the biggest honour you can possibly do really.
00:44 So yeah I don't think there's enough words for that and it probably will be
00:48 like a pinch me moment and yeah I think my family will be extremely proud and
00:52 yeah just excited but in terms of the pressure I honestly don't feel any extra pressure.
