Kieran Trippier's motivational talk with Lucy Bronze amid upcoming European Championships

Kieran Trippier has been hailed by Lionesses star Lucy Bronze for his motivational words of advice at St George's Park most recently.

The Newcastle United defender was on hand to offer valued pieces of guidance at a recent workshop, with West Ham star Declan Rice also in attendance.

Bronze admits she has high hopes for England this summer, with the UEFA Women's EURO's set to get underway in just over three weeks time.

WIth the Three Lions reaching the latter stages of the last two major tournaments, Brone reflected on the Magpies defender's crucial advice when it comes to receiving stick online.

''Trippier had a lot of things to say because he's a player that has been at a lot of tournaments before and has had a bit of stick from the media, obviously he played out of position last year,'' Bronze began.

''We were talking about blocking out the outside world and I think that's something that I've probably had to deal with more than most players in this England squad over past years. It was nice to be able to speak to someone who has had these issues and how they deal with these moments.

''We've been in and around St George's Park with them over the past couple of weeks, we've chatted to a lot of them. They're just human beings."

With Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland in hosts England's group, Bronze also wants to emulate the men's team successes, insisting they will do all they can to go that one step further this summer.

''No I wouldn't settle for that (just reaching the final). I wouldn't take it to penalties, we'd win the game in normal time.''
