We can move the ball high up the pitch so then it’s down to finishing them. The players should be confident; they just need to avoid overthinking.</p><p>She hasn’t had a lot of minutes, but she played well in the first game against Twente and she is performing well in every training session.</p><p>It is a positive for her to play in the game and we are confident in her. She has a lot of quality and she will be playing. That is what we’re focused on.</p><p>They are a well-organised defensive unit, very compact. They don’t allow you much space on the pitch and they are aggressive out of possession, so it’s always difficult to break their lines, to break their block. An early goal would be great; if not, we must stay patient.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2025/nov/11/st-polten-v-chelsea-womens-champions-league-live">Continue reading...</a>
