England midfielder Georgia Stanway has issued a stark and brutally honest warning to her club side, Bayern Munich, in the wake of the Lionesses' crushing Women's Euros final defeat. The 23-year-old powerhouse insists there will be no time for a slow pre-season upon her return to Germany, demanding immediate intensity to banish the heartbreak of Wembley.
Stanway, a key figure in Sarina Wiegman's squad, experienced the agony of a 2-1 loss to Spain on the biggest stage in European football. Rather than seeking an extended break, the tenacious player is channeling her frustration into a fierce determination to hit the ground running with her Bundesliga club.
From Wembley Heartbreak to Bayern's Pre-Season
"The pre-season is not going to be nice," Stanway declared with an air of grim resolution. "I'm going to need to get going straight away. I'm not one to have a slow pre-season. I need to get going, I need to be at it from day one."
This relentless mindset underscores the professional attitude that has made Stanway one of the most respected players in the women's game. Her comments signal not just a personal mission, but a clear message to her Bayern teammates and coaching staff: the standards will be set exceptionally high from the moment she arrives.
A Summer of Sacrifice and Focus
The former Manchester City star revealed the immense personal sacrifices made during the Euros campaign, including completely shutting off from the outside world to maintain focus. This extreme level of dedication highlights the immense pressure and commitment required to compete at the highest level.
While the pain of the final loss is still raw, Stanway's immediate look to the future with Bayern Munich demonstrates the resilience and professionalism that defines elite athletes. Her return to club duty is now framed as a critical part of the healing process and a new challenge to conquer.
