“We’re not mistaken. It’s going to be difficult, especially with some WSL players,” he said. Sky Sports News. “It’s going to be hard work.

“We want to be as competitive as we can, we want to compete with the top teams in the league. We go out and try to win, to be able to compete.”

“We want the league to be what it is. We wanted it to be professional, we wanted it to be the best in the world and attract talent. It’s doing a lot of what it wanted us to do. Now the challenge is to keep it competitive.”
