EURO 2022- Alessia Russo was caught looking at tactical note of German team.

It was a game of two halves, with Germany dominating the first and England coming back strongly after the break. But it was ultimately the Three Lions who prevailed.
However, there was one moment during the match that caught the eye of many viewers. England’s Alessia Russo was caught looking at a tactical note from the German bench.
Russo quickly put the note back in her pocket when she realised she had been caught, but it was too late – the damage had already been done.
As part of their preparation for EURO 2022, the Lionesses have been using St. George’s Park as their training base. And it was there that Alessia Russo was spotted looking at a tactical note from the German team.
The 23-year-old forward, who is on loan at Manchester United from Chelsea, was photographed with the note during a break in training. It is not clear how she came to have the note, but it is likely that she picked it up from the German team’s training ground.
The note appeared to detail the positioning of Germany’s players, and Russo was quick to hide it away when she realised she had been spotted. This is not the first time that Russo has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. In 2019, she was caught taking a selfie with the World Cup trophy while on duty as a member of FIFA’s security team.
It is unclear what Russo was trying to read, but it is sure to give the German team an advantage heading into the tournament. Russo will need to be more careful in the future if she wants to avoid giving away any more secrets.
It is not clear whether Russo understood the note, or if it had any impact on the game, but it will no doubt be a topic of discussion in the England camp after their disappointing defeat.
Russo has since apologised for her actions, but it is not clear if she will face any disciplinary action from either England or FIFA.
