England midfielder Keira Walsh says she feels more responsibility on the pitch under manager Sarina Wiegman.
Walsh, 26, was one of the stars of Euro 2022, completing a world-record transfer to Barcelona shortly after the Lionesses won the tournament.
In her debut season for Barcelona she won the Women’s Champions League and helped them retain their league title.
“[Taking responsibility] is something Sarina has been pushing me on,” said Walsh.
“Maybe it’s just solving the pictures on the pitch and coaching a little bit more. I wouldn’t say I’m the loudest so it doesn’t come naturally to me, but it’s something she wants me to improve on.
“She encourages the more experienced players to coach a bit and puts more onus on us on the pitch. If we feel things that she can’t, then she is more than happy for us to help and find solutions.
“It’s nice to be pushed that way and for older players to have that responsibility. She’s always pretty open to people making their own decisions and choices.”
