‘We need to keep calm and do what we do’

Handling pressure is nothing new to Danielle van de Donk.

The Netherlands international reached the final of the World Cup this summer after success at Euro 2017 - and this season she’ll be dealt a similar task at club level, as we look to defend our WSL title.

Read on for van de Donk’s thoughts on handling such pressure, her compatriot Jill Roord and much, much more.

on whether this season will be her most exciting at the club…
Yeah, definitely. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.

on whether she’s had much time to reflect on the past 12 months…
To be fair, I’ve not really done that yet.
