Alex On The Spot

The quickfire sidebar following the main Greenwood interview. She always sits by the window with Ellie Roebuck on the outside, thinks of kangaroos, barbecues and beaches when Australia comes up, and would build a composite player from Lauren Hemp’s speed, Khadija Shaw’s strength, Keira Walsh’s footwork and Alessia Russo’s finishing. Roebuck is ruled out as a karaoke partner on the grounds that she sounds like a cat, in favour of Manchester City’s Deyna Castellanos and Alanna Kennedy, or Jess Carter from the England squad. Lauren Hemp is the last person she would trust as team chef, and asked who she would pick to head in a last-minute World Cup winner, she nominates Russo rather than herself.
