"Training camp in Australia? To put it bluntly: I'd rather go to Spain. But the fact that women's teams are making these kinds of trips means that women's football is growing in popularity and the money involved is increasing.”
🗣️ Danielle van de Donk about Miedema’s return
“I’m happy Viv is there again. It’s incredible she scored. She deserves it. I find it impressive she rocked up twice after such injuries. This team is not perfect yet, understandably. But I think Viv makes us play better football.”

“I also can be completely honest, pressure is something I’ve struggled with in my career. Coming back from an injury- I think a lot of people expect magic. They expect you to put your boots on and go out and score a hattrick.”
💬 Miedema via NOS
"I feel a bit of everything. Today wasn't our best. Not the teams and not my best. Norway is a good team. When you concede and look at the clock, you start playing with stress. Then it's nice we score. Personally it's very special to finalize a special week."

“It’s a long time since I last signed for a new club. Football was in a complete different state… Hopefully next year this time when we’re signing another big player, there are even more people there for the next girl coming in.”

💬Vivianne Miedema via NOS about being subbed off.
"I will play if we must score. But when we need to draw the ball to corners or defend I'm not the right player. Andries and I have spoken about it. I'm not too proud to get off the pitch to let fresh legs finish the match."

“We’ve always played together. I think she looks at football the same way as I do. And the moment Jill [Roord] says she really likes something that says a lot. So yes she’s definitely helped make this choice a lot easier.”
