NewsTeagan Micah: I feel so lucky to play for a club like Liverpool

The Reds goalkeeper produced a Player of the Match performance for Australia on Sunday night in the SheBelieves Cup amid the current international break.

Despite seeing her nation fall to a 2-1 defeat by the USA in Arizona, Micah produced a strong display between the posts to earn the post-match accolade.

And she credited her preparation at the AXA Melwood Training Centre and ongoing involvement in the Barclays Women's Super League as key reasons for her sharpness.

"I feel so lucky to play for a club like Liverpool," she said. "It's a privilege, and I love the girls I play with there. To be able to put that badge on is a great feeling.

"The games are all so competitive. Not only that, but your training environment is also competitive, so you're battling for spots each week. That helps you to become a better player – you need competition.

"I feel like it gives me a lot more confidence going from club to international. It doesn't feel like such a jump. Week in, week out, you're facing international stars in your own league."
