England manager Sarina Wiegman says it will be a 'special but strange' feeling to face her home country the Netherlands in the Women's Nations League.
It puts them on three points in the four-team group A1 along with Belgium, who beat the Netherlands 2-1.
Wiegman enjoyed huge success while in charge of the Netherlands, guiding them to a first major trophy at Euro 2017, then a World Cup final in 2019. "The media attention is bigger, the number of players we have available is more, the league is fully professional, also the FA [Football Association] is a much bigger association than the Dutch association is.Wiegman's success, combined with increased visibility during her time in England, has meant there is "much more attention" on the Lionesses boss.
Wiegman admitted she still speaks with several of the Dutch players on "personal matters" or "after some matches" but there is only one team she wants to see come out as winners on Tuesday.
