BRONZE LOOKING FOR GOLD SUCCESS
LIONESSES star Lucy Bronze knew team-mate
Jill Scott was destined to become the ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ queen of the jungle.
And if the Barcelona defender gets her latest prediction right then England will be crowned world champions in the summer.
Bronze is back in this country as Sarina Wiegman’s European Championship winners look to retain the Arnold Clark Cup against South Korea and Belgium.
Scott and Ellen White, members of the victorious Euros side, have retired but Bronze said: “I believe we are going to win the World Cup. We’re going in probably as favourites.
“We will have different players considering that both Ellen and Jill won’t be with us.
“But we are doing well under Sarina. Getting together for the Arnold Clark Cup and a game at Wembley against Brazil in April we’ll see what the team has got.”
Scott’s time in the jungle in the ITV series helped promote women’s football, already on a high through the European Championships, to an even greater level.
“The funny thing is when we heard Jill was going on it on our What’sapp group we all said, ‘Jill’s won this,’” added Bronze.
“We knew straight away because we know what Jill is like, her personality.”
And by now everyone knows what makes Bronze, 31, tick as she looks to win her 101st cap.
She added: “I’m motivated to win even more. I want to win another Euros, I want to win a World Cup. I want to be the best player in the world. I am motivated not to lose.”
