Manchester City head coach Andree Jeglertz has praised his sides togetherness before an important WSL clash with Arsenal, in his pre match press conference.
He said “looking at the players that every time we score, uh, it’s looking at the players coming together, you can almost see that it’s a team that is enjoying playing football together at the moment. And when we are celebrating the goal, we are not only running to the goal scorer, we’re also running to keeper, because she’s Yama is doing great action just before one of Karolin’s goals. And that’s the one where Alex Greenwood is running towards her and celebrating with her, I think that’s shows something about enjoying every moment.”
Mary Fowler made her return from Injury last weekend after being out for almost a year with an ACL injury and Jeglertz gave an update on the Australian.
“Yeah, of course it’s it’s not easy to come in and play, but it’s also for her to find the right timing or how much do we push her, when do we modify her? And I think the medical team is important in this one also to find a great balance for her in that. So it’s not becoming, we can’t just go in and have the same as everybody else. just been away for a long time. Uh, and she’s she’s now back, but at the same time, it takes time to get to the same level, both physically uh, and as a player, she’s in a good way.”
The Swedish head coach also spoke about the team confidence and what he knows his girls can do. “Yeah, it gives both me and the team a good confidence that no matter what’s going to happen in the game, we always create chances.”
“We have been able to find different ways winning games and no matter if the opponent is controlling the game in part of the game, we still feel need to be able to feel comfortable in that and finding the right way to attack. So I think definitely being able to win tight games against this great opponent is always building a confidence and belief, that no matter what, we will definitely give ourselves a chance to win.”
Jeglertz also praised Arsenal for winning the Champions Cup last weekend “they won that title, and of course, they should claim that definitely. And I congratulated them because that’s a great achievement for them, but also for our league, because it shows that our league is on a special level that we, they are there, but they have a couple of teams ahead of them in the league at the moment. So, definitely, interesting to see how that develops the coming years, but, uh, if that’s that’s the way they they want to proceed with, um I definitely I think it’s a good thing.”
Once again Jeglertz has been nominated for manager of the month and Kerolin for player, and this is what the he had to say about this honour “Yeah, the team doesn’t care about me, but I’m sure they happy about Kerolin and happy about that one of our players is nominated. I think that’s should always be something for me and for the players also, it’s, we should be honoured every time when there is something like this and our players or the staff is nominated for something. It’s, isn’t anything that we ever, ever should take for granted.
Manchester City travel to the Emirates stadium to face Arsenal on the 8th February, with kick off at 12:00
