Jess Carter to have 'no nerves' at World Cup final - but don't mistake that for a lack of drive

You do not get to play for Sarina Wiegman if you are not a mentality monster - but England's defensive rock insists she is 'just Jess'

Carter’s composure is a vital component of this squad. “I think I chat with everyone, and that’s something that a lot of the girls say is that I am super chill,” she says.

From Birmingham prodigy to Chelsea to England dependable, Carter has grown and learnt on the job. She has made mistakes – who hasn’t? She has come back stronger and harder and faster and she is better as a result. She is versatile, patient and willing. And if she is indeed “super chill”, to use her own phrase, a maiden World Cup final is the best time for tranquillity. World Cup nerves – what do you think?“It’s football. I’m not really a nervous person. I understand and know from the outside, it’s the World Cup final, your biggest moment. I play my best when I’m super calm. At the end of the day, it’s just a game of football.” She might be the only one in the squad who seriously believes that.
