SCOTLAND v FINLAND / UEFA WOMEN’S EURO 2021 QUALIFIER PLAYER FOCUS EVANS AIMING FOR MORE QUALIFICATION SUCCESS 6 So far in her career Lisa Evans has reached two major championships with Scotland and now she’s aiming for a third. Playing her football at Arsenal and competing at Euro 2017 and the 2019 Women’s World Cup has provided great experiences, but now the winger has set her sights on lighting up the tournament in England in 2022. Recovering from an injury, Evans had yet to play for Scotland in 2020 going into this international window and she’s aiming to make up for lost time by helping her side go into the final two games next year in a promising position. Q A How does it feel to be back in the squad? It’s great to be back involved. It was so frustrating being out for the last few matches of the campaign, and watching them from home. I’ve not played for Scotland at all this year, through injury, and that’s been disappointing. I’ve not played many games in general but I’m feeling fit and healthy now. The week has gone well so far and Shelley not being in camp hasn’t provided much disruption as she is still leading from afar and chatting to us regularly over Zoom. Q A What have you made of the campaign so far? We had a great start but the pandemic has obviously disrupted things. Tonight’s game is going to be huge, and will be pivotal in terms of our qualification hopes. Despite the defeat last time out, <strong>Finland</strong> are a team we’re more than capable of coming out on top against if we play to our potential. They EASTER ROAD / TUESDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2020
SCOTLAND v FINLAND / UEFA WOMEN’S EURO 2021 QUALIFIER 7 showed they’re a good side but if we’re at our best I’m confident we can come out on top. Q Kim Little and Jen Beattie have been back in the squad this week. How big a boost will that be? A I spend so much time with those girls and I’d consider them my extended family at Arsenal. I’m really close with them and it’s great to have them around. They are massive characters within the group and fantastic players. They’ve added a lot to the group. Since the World Cup we’ve had a number of fresh faces come in and that’s been good too. They all seem to have settled into the group really well. Q How determined are you to get back to the Euros? This team has not reached its potential A yet and I just want to show everyone how good we are. We could be such a big threat at a major tournament and EASTER ROAD / TUESDAY, 1 DECEMBER 2020
