Olivias pov

"Olivia, what a match. At half time you were down 2-0 and you've come out of the game winning 3-2. How does that feel?" The reporter asks me

"Incredible. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the game. The Netherlands are such a hard team to beat and although they were winning for most of it, we came back stronger and it resulted in us taking the win." I respond

"What do you think happened during the first half to be losing by 2-0?"

"I think the first goal was pure luck to them and of course that gave them an advantage which resulted in them scoring another. During the second half, I think everyone stepped up their game and it showed when they managed to equalise." I say

"Now, it was a big match for you, wasn't it?"

"It was, yeah. The last time I played for England was on that pitch at a sold out Wembley and to be able to come back tonight at a sold out Wembley is incredible. The atmosphere was amazing and I'm so grateful to have the support of everyone who came tonight." I explain

"The cheer you got when you stood up to be subbed on was so loud. I couldn't even hear the person standing next to me. How does that make you feel?"

"It's so hard to explain. I just feel so much gratitude to everyone who has supported me on my comeback and hearing the fans tonight made me realise just how much support we've got from them as well."

"As captain, this was a big game because it was your comeback and such a thrilling game but it was also a big game because you showed them exactly who you are. You showed them that you are Olivia Russo, England captain and one of, if not, the best striker in the world, and you showed them that by coming on and scoring the winning goal in injury time. Have you got something to say about that?" The reporter asks

"It was a big team performance that lead to the final goal. I'm just glad I didn't mess up. I knew I was taking a chance by megging the keeper but football is a game of risks and you have to learn to take them."

"Olivia, it has been 1 year and 4 months since we last saw you in an England shirt. Since then, you've given birth to your two daughters, you've moved to Arsenal, you've received an OBE. I mean, it's been quite a year for you, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, it really has. One of the, if not the best, years of my life. Having my daughters was a dream come true for me and Alessia. Everything I do, every minute of football I play, every training session I go to, every goal I score, is for them. For my three girls. And I told the three of them tonight that I'd score for them, and I did. I do everything for my girls." I say and smile

"Well, thank you for talking to us, Olivia. And congratulations on your comeback and your goal. It's nice to have you back, captain."
