There is a new kit, a 'New England' and now a new star on the spot.
At the age of 21, Aggie Beever-Jones waited in the Vleugels, overshadowed as fellow-Jonge Leeuwessen Grace Clinton and Michelle Agyemang made the headlines.
At the age of 19, AGYEMANG even marked her debut last month with a goal only 41 seconds after emerging.
But everything changed on Friday evening.
An injury for Alessia Russo opened the door and Bever-Jones seized the opportunity and delivered a beautiful hat trick in the first half of her first England performance in Wembley. A version that was not only emphatically, but the highlight of everything she worked for.
“No matter how cliché it sounds, Sarina (Wiegman) said:” Today is a new kit, New England. Go outside and use a transplant, “said Bever-Jones after the game.
She did more than the transplant – she announced herself on her third start in a shirt of England, making it impossible for Wiegman to leave her out of her plans.
Her performance on Friday will not be a surprise for Chelsea fans who have called to see more of the graduated Cobham, knowing that she had grown up near the training field in Surrey.
After two seasons on loan in Bristol City, Bever-Jones returned to the Chelsea side of Emma Hayes last season, where she was impressed, even though her minutes were carefully managed.
This season under Sonia Bompastor, Beever-Jones went into force. Able to play over the front line, she has been the Swiss pocket knife of the French coach, because injuries to Sam Kerr, Lauren James and Mayra Ramirez threatened the attack of Chelsea.
There have been two striking moments in recent weeks, both of which met Liverpool. The first was a meeting in the semi-final of the FA Cup, where Chelsea was held into a frustrating draw when Bever-Jones appeared in extra time to go home the winning goal and to book their place at Wembley.
Then, in the last match of the competition season, with nerves that radiated around the team, because Chelsea was again held into a draw and their invincible season was in danger, in the 91st minute Bevere-Jones took the ball out of Deep. She dribbled at speed in the Liverpool trial area before entering the nearby pole to confirm a WSL point record for the blues.
A player for the most important moments, on Friday Brever-Jones came to the help of Wiegman with a hat trick when the Dutch coach had to silence the critics more than ever.
Hayes said characteristic about the attacker last year: 'Aggie beverle-Jones-confused not that name. She becomes a legend, not only for Chelsea, but also for England. '
There will certainly be no one who now forgot her name.
