Bronze: No end to party

- ■■John CROSS

LUCY BRONZE revealed she and the England team partied until 4am — and then got up and went all over again.

They celebrated their Euros success back at the team hotel in London after their Wembley win over Germany.

They even persuaded Sarina Wiegman to have a beer, they danced and sang — and then tried to persuade their manager to have a beer for breakfast!

The England players failed with that but did take to the stage again in front of 7,000 spectators at Trafalgar Square.

Bronze, talking from behind a pair of sunglasses after the party, said: “I think Sarina was finding it hard to keep up with the English ways!

“She had a few comments this morning! I tried to give her a beer before she started the meeting, and she was like, ‘Please don’t, Lucy’.

“We have been winding her up but it’s something she’ll have to get used to now she’s an honorary English woman.

“She’ll have to get practising (drinking beer). Hopefully we can have more nights like that. So she’s going to need it!

Tired

“I was going to say I feel tired but I feel better after that. I think most of us only got a couple hours sleep. Hence the sunglasses. I feel like I’m on top of the world.

“Crazy, dancing, cake, drinks, dancing again. The last message I sent on my phone was at four o’clock in the morning. It didn’t make much sense. And then we all had to get up at half past eight to have a meeting and then come here.

“We were all saying that it still doesn’t feel quite normal. When we get home on the sofa, having a glass of orange juice or cup of tea, you’ll be sat there and that will be the moment where you think it’s insane, we’re champions of Europe.”

They had to shut the gates 90 minutes before heroic Wiegman and her players even took to the stage at Trafalgar Square.

There was space for 7,000 fans on a first-come first-served basis and it felt like they could have filled the famous London landmark 10 times over.
