Lauren James was undoubtedly the Player of the Match after registering an impressive two goals and three assists, but Zelem is not surprised that her former United team-mate is fulfilling a starring role.
“China were really organised, there wasn’t too much space for me and Georgia [Stanway] in the first half but it allowed players like LJ [Lauren James] to get on the ball and who better to get on the ball in an England shirt than Lauren James?
“I’ve know LJ for a long time, played with her at Manchester United so I’ve known the talent she had so there is no surprise she is playing this well at the tournament and hopefully it will continue.”
Zelem will hope to get another chance to play when England’s next challenge comes on Monday in the form of Nigeria in the round of 16.
“Every team that gets into the knockout stages deserves to be there so we know it will be a difficult test and we’re ready for it,” the midfielder added.
