Blindkilde Brown joined City for \u00a3200,000 from Aston Villa in 2024 where she made 58 appearances in the WSL as a teenager.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has gone on to make four appearances for England but faces stiff competition in Sarina Wiegman’s squad.<\/p>\n
But with injuries this month, can she force her way into Wiegman’s plans for Tuesday’s Women’s World Cup qualifier against Spain at Wembley? <\/p>\n
“There’s world class players here and the midfield is really strong so I knew I’d have to be patient,” said Blindkilde Brown.<\/p>\n
“I just take whatever comes really. Being around a lot of the City girls who are also here is really helpful as well. This makes me feel very comfortable. <\/p>\n
“The standard at City is pretty similar to the standard here. Ultimately, how I play at City is why I get picked for being here.<\/p>\n
“I definitely feel more confident. When I first got called up I was probably really nervous in training, and it was not a familiar situation for me to be in.”<\/p>\n
Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Blindkilde Brown has shown this season she can play a more defensive role in Jeglertz’s City team.<\/p>\n
She believes that has helped her progress as a player and can give her more opportunity on the international stage.<\/p>\n
“I went to City because I knew I was going to improve so much as a player. Those first few years and months were about development,” she added.<\/p>\n
“I feel like I’ve really developed as a player since being there. Being given the opportunity this year to have more game time has been really nice.<\/p>\n
“I’d say a big thing for me is my out-of-possession work, especially changing roles in the midfield. I knew I had to develop that part of my game a little bit more.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
